Anyone else think Audrey is still in a coma? Despite (or rather, given) what we just saw?

Also, the line "And of course Kevin Smith" made me want to toss the damn book … and I don't dislike that person, it's just so … ugh. Try harder.

I dug the novel overall, but (without spoiling anything except on a conceptual level) did anyone else find the ending completely underwhelming? I kept expecting some kind of left turn … not a "twist" per se, but something to escalate the action and throw the ending into doubt. Once he made it to the final level,

Thank you. I honestly don't know what I hate the most. Hollywood's hottest lead women getting in line to salivate over a fat balding man with no charisma. The fact that literally every character exists to praise him in one form or another, including the ostensible villain—the critic—who just knew in his heart that the

Last Action Hero is probably the first movie I saw that made me *think* I'd just seen the worst movie ever (but it's probably due a revisit).
Southland Tales is probably the "best" worst movie I ever saw in a theater.
Chef is without a doubt THE worst movie I ever saw in a theater.

Shut your mouth, Matt Gerardi. Bob's Burgers is an ensemble show if there ever was one.

DAMN good take …. and hot!

Agreed, great hook.

It's kind of crazy how off the mark these guys were about Trump last season. Maybe it's just me, but IRL Trump is so clearly a direct real-life analog of Eric Cartman that it just doesn't work to make anyone else in the South Park Universe the Trump stand-in.

"Shkreli" definitely sounds like a term you can slang-ify, right? How has it not already been given the Santorum treatment?

Too true. I'd point to the Venture Bros. as a series that makes the madness of a world of densely packed and overlapping heroes/villains/super science into something resembling coherence and consistency. But they have the benefit of being a single series, not an interconnected mess of multi-studio productions … and

I'm going to go ahead and ruin this joke by explaining it, but goddamn it, it kills me that throughout the entire show, Buster gets this indignant basically just *once* … and its over his deeply held insistence that CHICKENS DON'T CLAP!

"Wow, you're Spider-Man! You're a hero just like Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones.."

Yeah, I'm not against introspection. I am against these blanket knee-jerk conclusions that "so much of the country" was "put off." It's a fairly narrow demographic that was "put off", and the possible culprits are far and wide.

There is seriously some assymmetrical warfare going on out there. Dems put up the most qualified, experienced and prepared candidate this country may have ever seen who campaigned on a message of inclusiveness with policies left, right and center could each find something to appreciate. Reps put up a sentient Facebook

I'm calling it. Same page, with some needed perspective from you to keep me from talking myself into circles. Thanks!

Thanks for that response, I really appreciate it anytime my free rants are taking seriously and thoughtfully like that.
