That’s awesome. My best friend met his wife online, and they’re a great couple. Even though I can think of two examples of successful online dating experiences, most of my friends, acquaintances, and colleagues talk about it as if it’s the worst. This last New Year’s Eve, a girl tagged along with our group for the…

I see what you’re saying. While I’ve certainly shat where I ate, I’ve come to realize that it will only be awkward if you let it. After the girl from my office turned me down, I literally felt dizzy with embarrassment. But that feeling cooled by the time I got home, and the next day I was determined to look her in…

Can’t wait! The intensity of the trailer matched the intensity of Mike Nichols’ 1970 adaptation (which, for the record, I think is a goddamn masterpiece). It’s funny, Catch-22 is one of the few novels that I obsessed over in high school that still holds up (can’t say the same for Slaughterhouse-Five, or much of…

Why is anyone doing online dating if it’s so terrible? As a thirty-something who is recently divorced, I waited about four months before I decided to start dating. But I put off creating any online profiles for the time being. One day at work I made a concerted effort to strike up a conversation with the girl with…

The year was 1998. I was in seventh grade. I’m hanging out with my friends, when this girl Alexis comes up to me and says, “I heard that you know how to sing the fast part of ‘One Week’ by the Barenaked Ladies.” To which I hesitantly replied, “Um...yeah.” She then told me that Melissa R., who was the hottest girl in…

I find Tiffany Haddish’s voice extremely grating (especially in those awful Groupon ads), but it could work really well in a cartoon.

Haha that’s perfect!

“When Johnson has reached her limit—when she sees the fetus trying to outrun an abortion—she seeks out the organization behind the protesters.”

I find the best way to prevent myself from stuffing my face with junk when high, is to make sure there’s no junk in the house. Instead, I always make sure to have a ton of fruit around. Apples, cherries, blueberries, oranges...I will get blitzed, and when the munchies inevitably hit, I can load up on fruit (which…

On New Year’s day of this year I started my new, healthy lifestyle. It was ambitious, and most people in my circle predicted, not unkindly, that I would most likely fail in one, and eventually all. It included:

I also have a job that requires me to work overtime when we’re in crunch mode, or if there’s a crisis. I would be pretty annoyed if, despite getting paid, all of my work (which took away from me seeing my family and friends) ended up being for nothing. And why? Because of a celebrity that I hadn’t even heard of before…

I remember loving this movie as a kid. I rewatched it a few years ago and these were my big takeaways:

This looks pretty...not bad, exactly....but generic. Yeah, that’s it. 

Yeah, I checked the fuck out at this point and had no interest in returning. As a confirmed ghost story and horror movie addict, I could never get on board with the whole torture porn thing. 

I’m confused. It Follows garnered a pretty sizable fan base (myself included.) Shouldn’t that be enough of a reason to give this movie a theatrical release? I mean, I saw It Follows, which led to me watching Myth of the American Sleepover (which was great!), and I would have gladly gone to see whatever his next movie…

Unreal! I’ve driven by this house a thousand times since I was a kid. I had no idea it was based on the Flintstones, even though my siblings and I would call it “the Flintstone house” every time we drove past it. It’s strange being able to see the full property, including the interior, after literally a lifetime of…

My understanding of Dr. Melfi’s arc is that she realizes that, far from treating Tony in any meaningful way, she is actually allowing him to rationalize his behavior and place the blame on everyone else. As a result, she courageously terminates the treatment and baldly calls him out for what he is. 

That made my day! Thanks!

If you can believe it, I just discovered Carpenter last year (following Consequence of Sound’s excellent season of Filmography). That is to say, I had grown up watching Halloween on TV every year, and I think I saw the Village in theaters (not a great sign that I can’t remember), but for some reason I never thought of…

This was literally the first thing that came to mind while reading this article.
