He is not the boogeyman. He is the one you send to stay up all night with the boogeyman doing coke and screaming about bees.

Sad news. He was great on Scrubs, and I had the pleasure to see The Blanks, his a cappella group, do a live show that was very funny and entertaining.

Another note on the sequels, this was the first time I remember two sequels being filmed at the same time so they could open in the holiday season 89 and then kick off summer 1990. It blew my mind back then for seeming so audacious. I was used to waiting three years for new Star Wars and James Bond movies.

I need to blow off some steam about Five Guys. I’m leaving (supposedly essential) work yesterday after lunch, and I think I’ll pick up Five Guys on the way home. Where I would normally walk in, order, and wait, I check the on-line options and see they have a curbside delivery added for the duration of the crisis. Just…

At many theaters in the south it was just listed on the marquee as “James Bond XIII”.

If I had plans, they were made by an incorrect life I no longer maintain.

The most important legacy of E.T. is the “S.P.E.W.E.Y. and Me” episode of Get A Life!

“We just want to take a few pictures, and maybe cut his head off.”

At Comic-Con last year, the attendees of the Westworld panel all got those mood T-shirts. Since we hadn’t seen this footage, the meaning of the shirts was a mystery. It was only after I had mine home for a week that I discovered that one of the words was printed with glow in the dark ink. And later still after I…

And Caleb walks away from MacArthur Park and then has his final conversation with Francis on the Spiral Bridge in Singapore, then wanders back into LA to find Dolores.  The geography shook me for a second, but it sure looked great.

The bed of pinto beans makes the larger bun necessary.  Anything like a “normal” hot dog bun, and it would fall apart after the first bite.  And I agree that all the other toppings keep the bread from being dominant.

Thanks for the detective work. I see that he was also Snickers (one of the Candy Bars) in “Hudson Hawk”!

Here’s a Singapore street vendor ice cream sandwich:

Or you can get an Indonesian Wendy’s take on that Italian classic, the Waffle Fiesta!

I’m in for this just for the name “Adam Warren”, who for me is synonymous with “the ideas come fast”. I’ve been a fan since his “Dirty Pair” adaptations, where what could have been fluffy cheesecake manga was filled with great sci-fi concepts that snowballed the mayhem. He also did an Iron Man mini-series a while back …

I’m hoping they keep some of the ideas from the Fred Van Lente series, where the neural ability to see and instantly copy other’s actions has displaced chunks of his long term memory. This causes him to live in a kind of Memento-like state where he knows that today he is, say, training AIM goons or hunting down…

Adam Sandler is stuttering, baby-voiced Cajun chef Michele Fontenot, who has left the bayou to open a wildly popular restaurant in Times Square featuring a giant alligator tank. He is smitten with Drew Barrymore, who runs a school for developmentally disabled children, and has invited her to bring the children to a…

In the late 80s, the McDonald’s Monopoly game pieces weren’t attached to cups or fry sleeves, just loose. They were supposed to parcel them out depending on the size of your order. We had a high school friend who worked at McDonald’s and would throw a literal handful in our bag if we went through the drive-thru when…

I was wondering, too. Maybe the 8 works better at the 3:1 ratio they are specifying in the recipe, which seems less like a cocktail and more like a spiked Coke. I’m having all the same thoughts Emily and everyone in the comments is having on betraying good Scotch while also being intrigued by the idea. But if I’m…

When I first came out of college, I could go to Taco Bell and get a Mexican Pizza and a Taco Supreme for $3.00, including tax. I always remember that because it came out to exactly three dollars. Now, twenty-five years later, if I order that same thing and have to pay $5.73, or whatever it is, I always think, “Man,…
