Somewhat related: Jeffrey Lord out at CNN after using "Sieg Heil!" on Twitter today.

Well he looks fucking ridiculous, for one. When exactly was that look considered cool?

Is "reboot" really an appropriate term for something that hasn't existed for the entire lives of most people reading this?

"It doesn't look like anything to me"

Man, that's easily in my top-five Onion stories of all time.

This is actually appropriate, in the sense that "Soundgarden" was named after a statue in Seattle.

In the premiere episode of this series, Michael Showalter's character, "Coop" is shown in the office of a literary type, pitching his book. He's seated in front of a bookcase that shows the spine of the book "The Secret History of Wonder Woman"… that book was published in 2014, so it's, ahem, rather out of place in a

The only suitable punishment is for this man to be shit upon at a Megadeth concert, as Dave Mustaine calls school shootings false flags.

I always thought that as Poochie drives away he said "Busted!" instead of "Bust it!"

This is actually indicative of how he comments on the Trump administration, i.e., lowering the bar so much so that the slightest, slightest bit of good news is a great achievement (example: no one on Trump's staff quit or was fired this week, so take that, liberals!).

The hope is that it's countered by people who are against Trump and his message.

I'm both elated and melancholy about something involving The Simpsons… There are many Simpsons podcasts, but for the last two years I've enjoyed one that tackles one Simpsons episode per weekly podcast episode (I think it's simply called "The Simpsons Show"). The two guys play clips from the episode, and do

Started Tom Perrotta's new novel, "Mrs. Fletcher." After a (kind of) departure with "The Leftovers," this one returns to suburban malaise of "Little Children" and "The Abstinence Teacher."

Point Break?

"Friday the 13th Part III" really makes no effort to do anything different than its predecessors. I think the filmmakers figured that the novelty of 3D meant they could basically do a rewrite of the first two movies and it'd still make money.

But his explanation led to one of the most real-life-Spinal-Tap moments I've ever seen re: clueless rockers:

So many years ago Sebastian Bach tried to warn us that Park Avenue leads to Skid Row, but we didn't listen… we just didn't listen.
