Agreed. I think the little atmospheric touches they do (such as clanking dishes in a story about being in a diner), really serve to make those short stories hit home. They help you feel the words with those little auditory details.

This game was phenomenal. I played it when it released on 360 for hundreds of hours. The story breaks (where you read the stories about their forgotten pasts) really catch you in the feels sometimes. This game is worth FAR more than $8.24 and is a steal at that price.

“My EYE is up here!”

Roxanne has that “I’m totes not noticing Powerline’s power pole is pointing right at me!” look.

This just confirms the leak at the beginning of this that their plan was to negotiate in bad faith until regular people started losing their homes.

I live for the day when everyone finally wakes up to the fact that all our lives are made worse because of the unrestrained greed of a tiny group of people whose…

I don’t really want to see it either, so that works out.

Can’t properly express how glad I am this isn’t another slideshow. Friggin’ herbs are gonna ruin this site even more than they already have.

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten they were in Joe vs. The Volcano together as well. I need to check it out.

Huh, I have a hard time imagining Hanks in the role, as Harry is so neurotic and prickly and quippy and [additional qualifier dancing around just describing the character as “Jewish New Yorker”].

And those first 20 or so minutes—starting with the opening number all the way until the raft comes to a rest are probably the most perfectly paced sections of film ever. The pacing is abosolutely spot on.

(And as an…

Didn’t know that, and they can fuck right off.

“Anything to the contrary is total bullshit.” Fuck yeah Judy Blume!

That’s Jennifer Coolidge.

Doctors hate her, but that’s unrelated.

“The clickbait is coming from inside the house!”

There’s this current of underlying self-awareness to a lot of the present-era AVClub’s clickbait that leaves me unsure if the author is rolling their eyes and laughing or barely able to see the screen through their tears.

She thought her experience would become clickbait.  You won’t believe what happened next.

For a sec I thought you were proposing a sequel to Harold and Kumar.

It’s like the famous quantum physics thought experiment: If you put a cat inside an airtight, lead-lined box, will it jack itself off normally or abnormally? The answer, of course, is both, until you open the box and see for yourself. I believe it’s called ‘wankfunction collapse.’

For me it’s Beatles: All These Years, Volume 2.
