Small yippy dogs are just awful. Upstairs neighbor got one, and now we're looking at rebuilding our ceiling for soundproofing. Grr.

I'm gonna guess a gentle tug on Damon's pooch will accomplish very little when people are showering him with affection.

Like, any dog? Even pugs and chihuahuas?

I've known women who noticed strangers stopped hitting on them when they gained weight, and appreciated the reduction in everyday hassle. This sounds kinda similar.

Man, do not challenge the VSB writers on disturbing article photos. It will not end well.

The fact that they dropped an excuse for werewolves and other magical/supernatural creatures, then did absolutely nothing with it, always struck me as a gross violation of Chekhov's Gun.

Right. "Hit", not "Blockbuster". I loved District 9 too, but you can't say it had anything approaching the influence that Matrix or…probably any other film in this series has had.

Hell, the new Sniper Elite uses it. Just for 2-4 second highlights on kills, though.

I think Get Out ($177M gross) is in the same box as District 9 - surprise hit, not a blockbuster. Also not really an action movie.

Action-wise, Avengers really struggled with the power differential. We've got a flying tank, a god, an unstoppable juggernaut…and a really fit dude, a really fit woman, and a guy with a bow.

The man is the consensus best player of all time, and he's *still* bitter about how his high school coach treated him. I'm sure a lawyer has had to talk him out of it at least once.

She doesn't really have anywhere to go - she was doing blackface-as-lifestyle before any media picked up on her, and now she's a freakshow that various outlets decide to write up when they're bored. What story there is has been told, some folks just want to gawk at it some more.

Hardcore dedication would be reading VSB while putting that training to use.

And yet still, overall, voted for him.

What happened was Roger Ailes left. Ailes was also serial harasser, and he bought off everybody O'Reilly groped as professional courtesy. With him gone, the new management realized BillO's declining ratings weren't worth a big under-the-table payoff every few months.

Really, you're gonna post him in his Darth Whiny phase? C'mon.

…because it's *possible* the child could be trilingual?

Indeed you can. So look at it this way - her marriage and subsequent pregnancy has had *no effect whatsoever* on your chances of being with her.
