A surprisingly fiscally-oriented weekend. Went on a date at a bar that priced its beer via a stock market style (popular beers are priced higher than less popular, prices change every hour, market crashes occasionally, sending prices spiralling to the alcoholic danger-zone.). Then went to see The Big Short with a…

As far as I know, it's a permanent fixture. Also saw a fascinating display of James Ensor, one of the first artists to use colored pencils. http://photos.cntraveler.co… that piece was about 12 feet tall btw, computers don't do it justice.

Those high notes on "Death of a Bachelor" are ridiculous!!

"I’ve made a point of always pouring my leftover fast-food beverages into the drain of the self-serve drinks machine, instead of hurling 32-fluid ounces of high-fructose liquid death into a leaky plastic bag that another human being will eventually have to lug around." As a former fast food worker, I salute you sir.

YES! I do the same thing; what's the point of diluting the concert by listening to a version you've already heard with worse sound quality? Then you blast their music all the way home to keep the magic alive!

I remember when I stumbled upon "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper at the Chicago art museum; blew my freaking mind to see my favorite painting when I was totally not expecting it!

I find it appalling that no one remembered the very basic concept of non compos mentis. Seriously, you don't have to be a lawyer to have a basic notion that people of unsound mind or diminished mental capacity should be treated differently in the eyes of the law.

He's perpetually homeless, you think he wouldn't say no to a free meal!

Better Call Saul made me come back round to law as a possible career. Seeing Saul/Jimmy act as someone who wasn't a manipulative scumbag, who actually tried to help people with his skills (ignoring that those attempts failed of course lol), made me realize that law isn't all occupied by swindlers and smooth-talkers.…

Yeah, it's about the impotence behind macho nonsense. What does Ryan Gosling do in this movie? He got his ass kicked by that godly police detective, amongst other spoilerish things.

Agreed; fortunately, "-ghazi," seems to have temporarily replaced "-gate" in "who gives a shit" manufactured controversies.

To be fair, I don't think any normcore people call themselves that; it's a name created by hipsters who wish they had their outward appearance of competence and stability.

Used to loooove that show as a kid. Looking back on it though it's creepy as fuck. I think it has something to do with the persistent "Renaissance Hellscape painting" lighting.

AMC's marketing is confounding. Remember the non-teasers for "next time on Mad Men"?

Yahoo Screen was so bad (consistently shitty connection speed which wasn't the result of our internet) it made me quit watching Community :(.

That seems like a false comparison: one is based in the story, the other is a criticism of the context around the show's production, namely AMC's business practices; what does that have to do with the actual content of the story? Dismissing it as arty-weird and crazy doesn't answer your initial question of whether he…

True. He brings out the worst in people with his manipulations, in a tangential enough manner that he can always deny culpability. How much of it is actually Joe's fault, and how much of it is everyone projecting their own problems and failings onto him is a fascinating question.

My brain saw the picture with the shooting range, plus coming off Cameron's "burn it all down" look at the end of last ep. and incorrectly filled in the title as "Kill." Stupid brain, gotta remember to upgrade for more RAM

The reviewer seemed down on Joe's scenes, but I think it's a good, organic way to introduce conflict to the central Mutiny arc, which by itself would be a fun story, but nothing with any real dramatic weight, or problems that could be easily understood by a non-tech audience (myself included). There's only so many…

Kind of makes him sound like a parasite… Ironic that the Steve Jobs model capitalist in this show doesn't have the skills to create anything himself.
