1. Empire Strikes Back

When keeping it real goes wrong

The actions that she took when she was alive both contribute value to her estate and remove value from her estate. Her last act removed a lot of value by seriously impacting an innocent person. If she had put all her money in an ill advised investment scheme right before she died would we make an argument that her…

Eastwood? Let the man rest. Can’t you find a young filmmaker with his aesthetics to satisfy your urges?

Exactly. These movies are...I dunno....fine, I guess. Is this Harry Potter or something? Please try to distinguish between dubbed foreign Netflix imports and this.

That’s a serious crime. I owned the season 1-2 DVD box set that I bought in 2008 and I think it has all the music. Also, later editions of the DVD release appear to be of extremely low quality based on recent Amazon reviews. I think I gave away the DVDs to Goodwill amidst a physical media cleansing of a few years ago…

Something is crazy here, and it ain’t the “standards”.

 Good apology. Not great, not terrible. Moving on.

Bring back John Wesley Shipp!

Indeed. Dummy rounds have little ball-bearing-like material in the round instead of gunpowder that rattles when you shake it. Standard procedure for dummy rounds is to shake each one to listen for the rattling sound before loading the gun. This is usually done by the armorer and production supervisor together before…

I think of Buffy and Star Trek: Voyager. I am truly old

There is so much that is wrong with this.

Go is a lot more complex in variations than chess, but eventually it may proceed down this route as well. Though, given the permutations in Go, it’s possible the human brain can’t memorize enough strategies to matter.

I think Guy Fieri is a genuinely good dude with some questionable taste. I think Kristen Stewart seems like a nice person as well. My view of both is generally positive. So why am I left feeling...uneasy...by this announcement?

Dead horse was definitely part of the cuisine there.

But then he would be yours and yours alone. I have My Own Private Idaho, but Duncan Idaho is for everyone

Wait...did they cut off the tribute to Norm, or did Lorne just casually throw out his name and say he was “one of” the best dozen or so Weekend hosts? Lorne: you can go fuck yourself.

I prefer the term “horse paste” to “horse medicine”. I’ll also accept “sheep-juice enema” as an alternative phrasing.

When I think of Burton, I think of Conan O’brien’s early stint on Late Night...taking over for the great David Letterman. He was awkward and unpolished, but had the credentials and ultimately found his groove. I think Rogers would be a great host, but I would like to live in a world where we let Burton find his own…

Personally, I don’t shop at the Dollar Store, but am super pissed that I’m forced to buy toilet paper at Sam’s Club at outrageous per unit costs as compared to buying it by the pallet or even in shipping container quantities. Why should I be penalized because I can’t afford to buy or store toilet paper in quantities…
