I’m reminded of the recent episode of Louie when Louie meets a hack comedian who tries to get him to loosen up on trying to be a “good” comic and just go for the cheapest, easiest joke that will appeal to the drunkest, least discerning customers.

And I recall her saying that even though she loves mozzarella sticks more than any other food, the TGIF mozzarella sticks were the flavor and consistency of oil-soaked cardboard.

I don’t think he’s overlooking it; I think he states repeatedly that many things in the movie that would be good fodder for satire winds up being played mawkishly straight.

Evolutionary biology can be used (or rather misused) to explain any behavior. (For instance, maybe men’s bodies are attracted to pregnant women because they have shown they are fertile and can healthily carry a baby to term?) But I think it’s a good bet that many men are into pregnant women for exactly the same…

I think I just saw someone wearing these! Should have asked if she read Jezebel.

Hear, hear! High heel expectations seem like a slightly dialed back version of foot binding. I feel like the idea of “Wear this shoe, it will make your calves look better but it will be harder to walk and you will definitely be eaten by a pursuing dinosaur” is a non-starter.

There was a great bit in the X-Files in one episode when there was a TV show being made from Mulder and Scully’s adventures, and the actress who was playing TV-Scully (Tea Leoni, David Duchovny’s actual wife at the time) asked Scully to show her how to run in heels. So for a whole scene Mulder spoke to someone in the…

She works there. It’s her office! She’s not walking around the theme park and waiting in line.

I am going to hope that’s body painting and not a tattoo. Though wI’m not judging; I used to draw comic book sound effects on my girlfriend’s buttocks for her burlesque act.

The ingenious part is that the answer to the puzzle is playing nonstop the entire time you’re in the level. You have to activate the items (which each have a different musical tone) in the right order to play the tune of the Tranquility Lane environmental music, which is ALSO a tune that Betty/Braun whistles as she…

But you DID kill them, in real life. :) Fucking Tranquility Lane!!!

Yeah, the teeth are not out of the ordinary, but that nose hair is some Basil Wolverton level shit.

Maybe he was stuck at the Reaper boss in Rannoch for 10 hours, like I would have been if I didn't finally look up some hints for it...

My story involves me and my gf renting a PS2 and a copy of Devil May Cry and then marathoning it from beginning to end because we didn’t have a memory card on which to save our progress. Living on the edge!

The Hunger Games: Catching Dick

When I read the headline I thought it was going to be about a rumor that you can play as the dog.

If when I beat the game it turns out you’re right, I am going to invent time travel, come back to today, and sic a German Shepherd on you for spoiling it. :)

Plus the Chinese Stealth Armor which worked as a limitless Stealth Boy and was bugged so that you could wear dozens of hats simultaneously. Those glitchy armors kind of broke the game, since I was never seen until I wanted to be seen, and then was invulnerable during firefights… When I got to a high enough level I…

Oh yeah, I neglected to mention Bloodborne! Okay, time to break the piggy bank...

I'm going to guess that the dog does not get killed as part of the storyline, it will just get killed during regular combat when you fire a mini nuke at some mope and the dog also runs at the mope to bite him.
