1982 may be the greatest year in film 

Carell’s character actually said these words: “I am not going to apologize for being attracted to Black women. I remember when that was thought to be progressive”.

Ah gottcha, misunderstood.

First off, the premise (spoiled rich shit steals priceless family heirloom from destitute couple and tortures them for trying to get it back, and we’re supposed to root for him) sounds so godawful I almost have trouble believing it’s real.

Loved The Drop Out! And Morning Show looks amazing (especially to me, a former journalist and lifelong news junkie)... but I’m all maxed out on platforms :(

Oh thanks for hipping me to it, will check it out! I apparently have an unquenchable appetite for stories confirming Bruce Willis has the personality of an elevator fart.  

Turner Classic Movies is rolling out a phenomenal podcast on Lucille Ball right now, w/out the distracting casting, that I assume will be exponentially more accurate than anything Sorkin is putting out. Also less walk-and-talks.

As soon as this story broke my first reaction — other than “holy fuck what a tragedy” — was “I wonder how long before some shithead posits some off-the-wall-based-on-farts theory and this becomes part of the Q narrative? 15 minutes? 30 seconds?”

I too was dubious re: the heat but the recipe is battle tested. Though I concur 100% re: DO NOT USE A SHEET pan. And braising the veggies in the fat is the point ;)

I have neither a smoker nor a slow cooker/crock pot but I would be up for trying this in the oven. For a six or seven pound shoulder I’d go 500 degrees for the first 30 minutes and then 400 degrees for another 2.5-3 hours. I’d probably also put it on a bed of potatoes/root vegetables to baste in the juice and also…

His parents are “champion live stock breeders” or some such inbred shit.

I appreciate the context, thanks for explaining.

Honestly I don’t think there should be an officiant at all. It’s a sacred union between two people and, if you’re a believer, the Boss upstairs. I looked briefly into states that allowed that sort of thing and I think there might be some states that allow it but not many and not where we were living at the time. So if…

I think that’s what they’re pivoting to now, but a shame they didn’t start out that way. Or find a way to just be less dickish about it (although the very premise of “eating this food is punishment because it’s disgusting” is hard to get around).

Oh wow that was some terrible cringe. I am ride-or-die Team Patrick Stewart but that was objectively some really unfortunate fat shaming and in-artful sniping on his part. Even if you think Corden is an annoying and mediocre comedian, he’s still a comedian — they live by their wits. Stewart could have chastised him…

I feel like a lot of the vitriol, at least from what I observed, came at him from the Left. Some of it was merited - he was more moderate than the progressive wing would have liked, he lacked experience (arguably a laughable critique given how far we’ve seen a one term Senator go and I actually think the mayor of a…

Corden existed on the periphery of my universe - for years I was barely aware of his existence but the little I observed he seemed “fine” and I didn’t get the hate.

Genuinely vexed by the desire to have a stranger officiate a wedding. I suppose if it has to be a stranger, then Cardi B or Guy Fieri or whatever are more than suitable choices.

I am not a sports ball person, so my knowledge is limited. But I’d always had a good impression of Rodgers. I knew that there had been instances where he’d called out football culture - including his own fans - for homophobic and Islamophobic shit. He seemed like an intelligent, articulate guy. His estrangement from…

It makes sense. This man almost certainly was a complete and total failure at life and had no prospects here.
