“the title evokes the empty, bone-deep ache that underlies all nostalgia”

“Hey boss, the guy who owns the local titty bar is here. He’s got a handgun. Should we let him in?”

The inaugural Q101 Summer Jamboree (1995) was largely forgettable: Duran Duran was on auto-pilot, Sheryl Crow was boring, Faith No More amd KMFDM were ok but felt out of place. But some unknown proto-rap/rock act called Phunk Junkees took to the small stage in mid-afternoon garbage time and spent 30 minutes absolutely…

I chose the wrong comment thread to read during lunch... 

It must be exhausting to hate natural human interaction so much thst you feel it gets in the way of your precious unwritten rules of a sport. I’d discuss the point further, but really there's nothing left to be said. I'd rather spendy time enjoying life, and I'd hate to keep dragging you away from your Fortnite…

If you can't see the difference between saying "I don't think that was intentional" while walking to first (because he goes to first whether it's intentional or not) and calling himself "out" when the umpire says otherwise, you're either foolish or trolling for reactions. Either way, I hope you wise up someday. 

Matthews had several teammates in the break to lead him out (including two with less than 1k to go) and they fucked it up horribly. Usually Matthews doesn’t need help shooting himself in the foot, but he really got screwed today. Wout rewrote the script by goimg early, but even so, that finale should have been an easy…

Turner was happy to take a base, and I doubt he expected to change the ump’s mind. There’s nothing wrong with him throwing in his two cents in support of what he saw as an honest mistake. 

.... people who like poker but not enough of their friends do to ever get a game together

I’m trying to take a cheaptshot at this dip, and you’re telling me that it’s even dumber than I thought? Kee-ripes.

Say what you will about his actions but those leather gloves make that security guard look real fuckin’ cool, like he’s some kinda badass living weapon.

I remember that like it was yesterday. Torn between wanting to see what she was running from and desperately NOT wanting to see what she was running from

Maybe if she had to do a shot after each point she won? And I was able to transfer my consciousness into a clone of her? 

“If you were freaked out by ‘that’ moment in ‘Hereditary,’ you’re gonna love ‘Midsommar’ because I pull that shit like five times in two minutes! That’s how suspense works, right? “

It’s Blair Witch for me, too. Like you, we knew it was fiction going in (they really didn’t try THAT hard to hide it at the time, no matter what people say these days,) but it was nevertheless a fascinating, intense, where-the-hell-is-this-going experience.

Holy shit, kid. Learn how sentence structure works.

Look, I'm happy that you recently realized religion is bullshit, I really am. But please wait until you're at least old enough to drive before developing an annoying superiority complex about it. 

That’s actually not far off from the shitty John Goodman version in the 90s. The plot revolved around corporate espionage and the details of adopting a baby.

I also liked him in the better-than-my-very-low-expectations “Down Periscope.”
