That was some brilliant product placement. I remember getting a voice recorder with the little answering machine-sized cassettes, the discreet kind that writers and lawyers in movies use. Not sure why my parents didn’t get the regular-sized cassette one. Was it that much cheaper? Anyway, I played with it for years.…

Best way to move to New York is just do it, people do it every year. Some of them end up homeless but the odds are in your favor. Probably. 

One of my fondest childhood Christmas memories was when I woke up and found that I had gotten the coveted TalkBoy Tape Recorder. My dad’s girlfriend at the time had a tradition with her kids of leaving one unopened present from Santa. Upon seeing it, my brother thought it was his and got super excited, and she was…

At it’s root, Parkour (roll eyes “Parcours”if you’re going to speak French, write it correctly… Please?) is basically a stylish and efficient way to leave Mr Gendarme in the dust. I’d say the philosophy is not that of gymnastics… beautiful to watch, though, and probably tons of fun to do.

Probably not, since it’s reportedly a bad film.

I’m not going to hold it against her. She didn’t feel like she had too. If the mind is still sharp. And the body is willing. She could still help. Also she was probably one of millions who thought Hillary couldn't fuck up the election. Then Russia fucked everyone.

If we need to, we can have the two other women on the court pull of a weekend-at-bernies situation.

I said "safest."

it’s about me smelling bad, wearing bad pants and getting into something after my skateboarding phase.

Two years and a few weeks, Ruth.  You can suck it up for that long, can’t you?

“there was no evidence of any remaining disease,” and no further treatment is currently planned. Ginsburg, per the statement, is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days.

So taking an Uber can be considered Parkour if it’s too far to run?

Well, they’re not wrong. True parkour is all about finding the quickest, most efficient (yet still safe) path from A to B. The real dangerous flipping and daredevil stuff is freerunning or tricking.*

The most epic of the reviews comes via Slashfilm and reaches almost Oscar Wilde levels of snark:

Most people conflate parkour with free running, which they are clearly doing by lumping it in with gymnastics. Parkour is about finding the shortest route despite obstacles, you don’t go out of your way to do cool tricks. That’s what free running is for. The originator of parkour called it a martial art (though that…

And yet, that still doesn’t explain why this Carrell movie needed to exist.

If Curling and goddamn Dressage are allowed, then Parkour should definitely be allowed.

Good Parkour is so fun to watch. Bad Parkour is responsible for so many smashed faces, knees, etc.  Ouch.

I have severe asthma a dust allergies. A soon to be ex boyfriend gave me a vog mask so I could clean his apartment and then asked me to move in with him.
