“There’s also a dark, controlling, almost violent element to the relationship that’s hard to reconcile in what’s supposed to be a true romance.”

I got a great William Hurt story.

It was about a decade ago. I was working my crappy art supply retail job in Portland. William Hurt walks in, and I don’t believe it’s really him.

Woman I’m ringing up points to him and says, “That’s William Hurt!” I turn around to look, and think, “Nah. Why would William Hurt be here?”

Sh…

My mother always told us that she knew my dad had a crush on Kathleen Turner, because Body Heat was the only movie he ever rented twice.

I don’t know if “period piece” is the correct term here, usually to count as a period piece a movie has to be set at least 20 years in the paOH MY GOD.

My sympathy at this point lies with his editors. There is nothing more frustrating and unprofessional to an editor than a writer who won’t deliver pages. Yes, the creative process can take time, but at this point, it’s beyond that for GRRM. It’s not just that he’s a ponderously slow writer (which he is). He’s clearly…

Like when he tweeted the word “gay” 69 times yesterday in response to Florida’s “Don’t say ‘gay’” bill.

I have asked for this for years. As in, I’ve directly asked Auntie Beeb. I told them I’d even pay a premium on top of the fee. Selfishly, I even asked if they’d consider doing it just for British citizens living abroad.

Hopefully this means we can finally watch series 12 here legally. (The release schedule doesn’t mention a date for series 12, which is concerning...)

I wouldn’t compare MCU Taskmaster to Origins Deadpool. She’s more like the Winter Soldier, where we are given an origin for her and any actual characterization will come in her next appearance (because his characterization once freed was totally different than back in WW2). She wasn’t the focal point of the Black…

It’s shocking that this wasn’t somehow Tom Holland’s fault.

Kevin Feige desperately trying to stop millions of MCU fans from feverishly sharing tweeting about Spider-Man: No Way Home:

I literally talk about it in the sentence after the one you quoted!

I think there is at least a 50% chance that there would be no serious consequences for telling Dubai Airlines to eff off. You find a new sponsor that gets good PR for not being evil.

Ted Lasso has clearly set up a world where there aren’t global consequences, it’s about the personal relationships and conflicts of the characters.

While Dollar Trees are mostly in suburban shopping centers and are very popular with Girl Scout Leaders, most Dollar Generals and Family Dollars are more than ten miles, sometimes up to a hundred miles from the nearest Walmart, Target or chain grocery store.

Not necessarily low intelligence, but there is definitely a correlation between low-education and low-income, as better educated people can get better jobs. Much of the predatory business ecosystem for the poor depends on their innumeracy. Besides Dollar stores, there are those awful “Checks Cashed”, “Payday Loans”,…

Yeah. Spoilers: Fluffalo is not as tall as the Hulk!

I once had someone correct me when I said “It’s a moot point” and tell me “You mean mute.”
