Ain’t gonna hurt nobody.
Ain’t gonna hurt nobody.
I’m currently reading Live from New York, the oral history of SNL, and can safely say they don’t need more Shane Gillises. That “voice” has had more than its share of representation on the show over the years.
There’s a BBQ place in my city that makes a “cowboy” beer sausage by using a mix of the dregs of whatever is left after several kegs are tapped. Every time I’ve eaten this sausage, I’ve gotten sick. And I NEVER get sick. I have a cast iron stomach. I didn’t realize what was happening at first because, being a BBQ…
Endgame’s final scene might have a metric ton of visual information bouncing around, but it is all brown as hell. Who decided that the grand finale to the whole shebang should be run through a mud filter?

Sam Esmail, you say? Some predictions:
I suggested on another article that they should explore the larger world of Terminator, beyond the John Connor-centric LA-based resistance movement. When SkyNet takes over, it can’t just be in Southern California. There would be Terminator facilities all over the world, and corresponding human insurgencies. That opens…
“I suggested they let Ray be super-cool and wear shades and drop old blues references and dance like an awkward old white guy, but that didn’t seem to make it into the script. I guess I’ll do the movie anyway.”
Not to make this a competition or anything, but . . .
Nathan Fillion as Captain Atom or Major Victory. It might be interesting to have some of these actors play members of the Force of July and have them all killed in the first reel. People are expecting a Deadpool 2-style full-team slaughter of the Suicide Squad. But what if it was another team that got completely wiped…
Kite Man? Hell yeah!
Seems almost telegraphed, doesn’t it? It’s like a Drew Barrymore/Scream meets the beginning of GI Joe: Retaliation waiting to happen. I might even go as far as to bet that the biggest names on the list will be the team that’s eliminated in the first 20 minutes.
On 9/11, a friend of mine who was working downtown went to Ground Zero to help out when he saw the Towers fall from his office. A couple weeks later, he was kicked off a city bus by the driver because “I don’t give rides to you people after what you did!” My friend is Peruvian.
I was once playing Monopoly with two friends. Soon after I was eliminated, the unheard of appeared: They were actually going to finish a game of Monopoly. My brain could not process this. I reverted to some primitive fear instinct and lashed out, upending the board and ruining the game before experiencing the horror…
Everything you describe sounds awful, of course. And I’m not talking about feeling safer. I’m talking specifically about our chances as citizens in a military conflict with the US Armed Forces. The fact is that in a fight between the soft American citizenry and the highly trained, heavily equipped American military,…
Also, considering theaters are getting less and less of a cut of the box office, I would think they’d welcome anything that drove more people to the concession counter.
Avengers: Infinity War - 149 minutes; $2 billion box office
Avengers: Endgame - 181 minutes; $2.8 billion box office
Total Runtime: 330 minutes; Total Box Office: $4.8 billion
Another way of looking at it is that he knows he can’t win but is staying in to keep the conversation going about an issue that is important and isn’t getting enough discussion. Is his statement realistic? Probably not. But what it does is send a challenge to the other, more viable candidates. It’s his way of saying…
I agree with everything you said, except the part about not disarming. I get that you’re basing this on the Constitutional idea that the public should be armed as a shield against tyranny. However, that idea came from a time when we had no official military and the worst you had to worry about was a militia being…
If he didn’t answer the question: “Typical politician, evasive and unwilling to make a clear statement that he will be held to.”
If we’re talking practical logistics, I would guess it would start with some form of public ban, ie, if you’re spotted in public with your machine gun, or you get stopped for a traffic violation and your gun is in your car, the cops will take it away. This might be paired with confiscations at shooting ranges, which…
