Hard agree on Schitt’s Creek. As a Canadian, I am aware that CBC comedies are typically execrable (see Corner Gas, with Kids in the Hall being the exception, not the rule). But I finally succumbed after Daniel Levy won all those Emmys and wow was I surprised. The acting, casting and writing is just superb.   

F. Murray Abraham [...] Peter Weller

That tongue is a pretty big target for airborne droplets.

...the movie is a “Roman epic” based on the classic Catiline Conspiracy but “set in modern times,” with New York sitting in as a fictional city called New Rome in the midst of a financial crisis and a feud between rich guy Catiline and “beleaguered mayor” Cicero [...] Coppola wants Oscar Isaac to play Catiline and…

Bizarre trivia: Danny Boy O’Connor, aka the guy from House of Pain who isn’t Everlast, took his royalties from their albums and bought S.E. Hinton’s old house in Tulsa, OK and turned it into an Outsiders museum, which he operates to this day. Pretty cool way to spend your money.

I grow my own tomatoes in the brief summer we have in Calgary and it always astounds me how much more flavour they have than the store-bought varieties. I saw a documentary that explains why, and it’s very similar to this story. Basically, tomato plants that big growers use are genetically selected for quick, fecund…

Anything Harryhausen touched was gold. Give me Clash of the Titans monsters over CGI any day. 

Keannu is definitely the other frontrunner, but I feel like he has gone through so many career phases he can’t be compared to the Rock. You’re 100% right though, Rock Movies are just Rock Movies. 

Dwayne Johnson is basically unparalleled and untouchable in terms of leading action stars these days, isn’t he? I feel like he has the kind of dominance that hasn’t been seen in years. Even Ahnuld had Stallone. 

No review of the actual album yet? 

Honest question here... what purpose is served by going into so much horrifying detail? Is it to show credibility, i.e., the person couldn’t be making this up because it’s such a minutely detailed account? I could certainly see going into this level of detail in the courtroom but does it help victims past, present and …

Over a montage of the bad guy literally putting a little bit of variously named women into the trunk of his car

Ouch, true

Great analogies. What others are there? 

Amen to this so hard. If you write off entire genres it is clear that you are lazy and closed-minded. 

I spent most of my life thinking country music was the one genre I couldn’t stand. Then, like a miracle, I turned 40 and suddenly those George Jones and Merle Haggard songs my mom always made me play for her starting to make sense to me. (Also, I started drinking heavily around that time.) Voila, now I love me some Cas…

Why won’t it let me do a hyperlink? Fuck I hate Kinja.

I replied to the wrong comment but meant to reply to you:

The majority of people still fucking love the music they loved at 16!

Tentatively looking forward to this, especially given that Lithgow is coming back... his arc was the high point of the series and one of the best big bads ever on TV. Wondering how they’ll do that though, given how fully and completely he died. Flashbacks? Identical twin? All of the final five seasons were a dream,…
