"You know why black people have it so easy in America? Because they're so good at basketball" would probably not go over great in a rap song.

Arrival is great, but I think it fits more into the category of "high-concept, high-budget, adult-oriented sci-fi" along with The Martian, Interstellar, and that one where Johnny Depp becomes a computer (hey, they can't all be winners).

Those movies would have been way better if they'd just been Chris Evans lying on a table, preferably shirtless, staring directly into the camera.

Either that or Chris Evans' rendition of "Josie's Got a Gun" from Not Another Teen Movie

This is the only political hot take worth having.

"You know what the preservation room is for?"
"Delicious jams and jellies?"

I picked up "Look at Me" by Jennifer Egan in a bookstore only because I thought the cover looked cool. I had never heard of her or the book, but I ended up loving it and a couple years later she won a Pulitzer for "Welcome to the Goon Squad."

I kind of want to pay to watch this movie as penance for illegally downloading Kingdom.

Wow. I finished Underground Airlines in 4 days and found it totally engrossing. I do support the idea that if I don't find a book compelling enough to finish it in two weeks it's probably not a book worth reading (Anna Karenina comes to mind as an exception)

I haven't really liked much of his music since Camp, which I loved, but I'm always willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, but what about Ralph Feinnes and Uma Thurman? What's their backup plan?

All I want in life is a full version of Tina singing "Just What I Needed."

We need to talk about Kevin.
