I told my wife if there was a God in heaven she'd figure a way to get Leslie Jones in a Ghostbusters movie.

It's called Entourage.

Thank Neal Adams for that.

Actually onions, peppers and mushrooms. Somehow I don't think my wife is going to buy that. Like the time I floated carrot cake as a vegetable.

Agreed. At a con an editor told me they always look for artists because they can only draw one book a month. A writer can write two or three and there are those who write one and want more so it's hard to give a new guy a job when there is a guy he knows already looking for work.

My wife is a dues paying feminist and she would punch this chick dead in her face. That was just painful to read. She doesn't sound like a feminist, she sounds like a sorority bimbo stereotype. I could just hear Snooki from Jersey Shore in my head. After reading that, even I don't like titties enough to put up…

Seriously, that's what I thought this article was going to be about and instead it's a really nice write-up about character and lessons.

I was a "Nielsen Family" back in the day when they paid you five bucks a month and you wrote down what you watched and they determined ratings. The ratings were never accurate because people say they watch the news and PBS when in reality we were watching David Hasseloff fight crime with a tallking car. It's like…

I'll have to consult my attorney on that one.

I think a lot of people have PBS Syndrome putting in things they think they should watch like Spike Lee's When The Levees Broke, his four hour documentary on Hurricane Katrina, and in reality coming home from a day of bullshit at work and watching Kevin Smith's Tusk, a movie about a guy who kidnaps Justin Long and…

And if you couldn't take tomorrow off and people did you'd be in trouble. See how that works.

Yes. Any statement that has to start with a disclaimer is destined for trouble.

Here's a better tip for the other side of that conversation: if you feel the need to start a comment with, "No offense..." stop right there and rethink whatever you were about to say because it's probably offensive as hell.

This is an excellent idea. I watched someone doing tech support that whenever he was, he asked, "What do you think/want it should do?" He was really asking what do you want it to do instead of what do you think is wrong with it. Often the callers couldn't tell him what was wrong because they didn't understand it…

Agreed. Click open your c:\ if you're using Windows 7 or higher and you'll see a Program Files and Program Files (x86) directory or right click an icon and you'll find that Compatibility Mode. That's because Microsoft has always tried to support all software regardless of what OS you're using and it's an absolute…

Just curious, what does one of these that changes depending on what's being viewed cost? Does it work just based on sound and bass? I have two bookshelves on each side of my 60" TV and LED rope above the bookshelves to give the ambient light. I'm not super happy with it. The LEDs gives a weird yellow light which I…

I never justify it. I just believe in calling it what it is and not something warm and cuddly so you can sleep at night. I said I had less of a problem with it being done and more of a problem with it being broadcasted. It's the difference between enough pot for me and my wife and a van-full for distribution.

As for Selma and not getting a Best Director is because it's easier to get Best Picture than any of the other categories because it's the only one that has up to ten nominees and everything else has five. The directors of American Sniper, Whiplash and Theory of Everything are standing there with Ava DuVernay as is…

Not really. I would think that New York Times writer gets paid (or at least can negotiate his worth) based on the amount of hits his article generates the same way Herbert Lui gets paid. Neither of these men do this as a hobby to make somebody at the New York Times or Lifehacker rich. It's their job. Bypassing the…

When it says five computers, does that mean five computers simultaneously or the same five PCs all the time?
