The Hitchcock bomb under the table thing only works if you want the people at the table to survive. Or die. Or have really any impression or opinion about them.

The Invitation was downright horrid. I'm pretty baffled that anyone would find anything interesting, unique or even simply entertaining about it.

Overall I agree, though I still have a bee in my bonnet over his Dawn of the Planet of the Apes review, which specifically drew complaint over the movie's status as a prequel. He liked it otherwise.

They spend so much time setting up a universe where Factotum and Barfly exist and then it just turns out they're the same fucking guy.

It's getting late in the morning and we really need to get moving. But we can't go anywhere until the Force awakens.

HELLO

I think it works when everyone goes in the same direction with the gifts. One year, I demurred on stealing a gift that was perfect for me out of kindness (and figuring there was something even sweeter still unwrapped), and ended up unwrapping a gag gift that nobody in their right mind would steal from me.

Yeah but they were unable to predict the result of a chaotic, unpredictable system. It's weatherman rules. We hate them now.

See, the strategy to the claw game is to decide on one stuffed animal (or lobster harmonica) and try to pick it up with the claw.

I somewhat tuned out of the show around the seasons where it happened, but doesn't Lister pretty much do what Pratt does by cloning the crew member he spent the previous seasons pining over?

It's like Solaris, but with the Male Gaze turned up to 11!

The Black List is a great source for a bunch of really fascinating, unique ideas that Hollywood is in a bidding war over who gets to ruin.

It sounds like Season One Andy Dwyer in Space, if anything.

Seriously. There are plenty of "how I met your mother" stories that are downright oogy. Like "he came into my work every day and wouldn't stop pestering me until I went out with him and he proposed on the first date and now we have twenty grandchildren."

Just a shame they didn't make it possible to watch Community.

This Charming Max

Possibly the best book written on the subject of turtle stacking.

There's something about the Grinch song that really evokes "angry letter we wrote at 1am which we don't fully intend to ever mail."

"Adam Driver agrees with reporter's zany 'what if'" just doesn't have the same zing.
