Reminds me of paper dolls where you can put different outfits over them.

I wish I had been in that live audience when they did the Airborne episode, because it killed me that no one picked up on the fact that (I assume) the name Mitchell Goosen is a Top Gun reference (Pete “Maverick” Mitchell and Goose). If it’s not a Top Gun reference, then there’s no explaining that awful name.

Monsters University was delightful, dammit!

Some third world countries don’t even HAVE exclamation points. So maybe let’s save some for them!

It’s got a PA system for the back seats, I’m looking forward to bothering my family with that.

The US flag actually is fairly simple. It’s comprised entirely of simple geometric shapes. It lacks complex and detailed iconography.

To be fair, GR is one of the most famous post-modern novels of all time. It probably shouldn’t have been a surprise that the thing driving the plot wasn’t really the point of the book. That’s one of the defining traits of a post-modern novel.

That’s not exactly correct. Prosecutors were all set to go forward with the trial, until the accuser informed them she wouldn’t testify. That was in September ‘04, several months before the civil lawsuit was settled, so it apparently was not a quid pro quo that she drop the charges “in exchange for big $$$.” Rather,…

The irony of most superhero movies being that they think every little logistics of the plot has to be earned, but the emotions of the characters are just something that can be alluded to in a line or two. 

It’s the damnedest thing, every time he tries the movie reviews Ignatiy.

Marshmallow comes and goes as she pleases, answers to no one and is truly free.

I want the truck to have gigantic baby arms, but noooooooooo. Futuristic, my ass. Give me disturbing, anatomically functional baby arms attached to the truck doors.

Yes. I remember that article as well. I am an enormous fan of David Foster Wallace (which will get some eye rolls, I’m sure, but whatever). I think Franzen had some inferiority complex issues with Wallace which would explain some of the cattiness Franzen always has when he talks about Wallace. It must be tough to have…

I wasn’t aware is the fact that these type of cars were known as date cars in Japan, but now the Japanese Silvia S13 Ad makes a whole lot more sense! The S13 Ad catch phrase was “Artforce Silvia” and was accompanied with Procol Harums “A Whiter Shade of Pale”. This song is about a drunken sexual escapade gone awry, so…

1) This is New Zealand, where they have 79% voter turnout. In the U.S., where voter turnout was 55% in 2016, older people swing elections more because they do have higher turnout.

This whole comment reeks of neckbeard. 

I tickled the NP button, in part because I have a warm spot for blue Cobalts. When my 16 YO daughter got her license, we bought her a new Cobalt in the exact same blue just like this, but without the SS package because Chevy was offering a lot of great deals.

You know my motto: Alpinas, All The Time.

i had the pleasure of spending 4 years working with werner. it was a constant roller coaster ride of terror or magic. but it was also a total weirdness factor as he became part of my (at the time) younger hollywood social circle.
