Oof. I get doing this once or twice, or how it could happen when you're in a place like Times Square, on sensory overload and completely exhausted, and you're just like, fuck it, kids, we're going to Olive Garden. But that's like, extreme last resort-type eating. (In any city, but especially in New York, where

It's partly the fact that it's a chain, partly that it's Italian that gets to me. Like, even in ripoff-central Times Square, you can probably walk five blocks in any direction and find better Italian.

It's not as campy, but back in 8th grade, a buddy of mine and I used to find this super-portentous Zep ad unintentionally hilarious:

I saw Ex Hex do a cover of that song and I lost my damn mind. It was awesome.

True story: I bought a couple of packs of original Topps Empire Strikes Back cards* at a collectibles shop a few years back, and the clerk warned me, very seriously, not to eat the gum.

Okay, this is the second AV Club article in a week that's reminded me of the existence of Nothing But Trouble. I'm slightly nauseated. Again.

This post has EVERYTHING.

I'm no fan of censorship, but, yeah, I see where Raffi's going with this, even though New Pornographers are a bit of an odd target. (Outside of the hipster toddlers of Park Slope, I can't imagine too many kids stumbling upon the phrase New Pornographers and then, say, calling someone on the playground a new

It's mostly related to the fact that he is, in actuality, a leaky Hefty bag that somehow achieved low-level sentience.

Funny, I thought the Bushes not liking Trump was their nearly redeeming quality.

I'm glad I'm not the only one misting up over Dave's mom! RIP, Dorothy. Instead of raising my glass, I'm raising my pie to you.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this project, because the Joe Harris comics are pretty darn good. Admittedly, I'm way behind with them, but the initial "Season 10" storyline with Gibson Praise returning as the Big Bad and CSM returning only as a sort of clone was way more entertaining and thoughtful and well-paced

I'd just like to take a moment to note that I, a human female, found CGI Tarkin extremely distracting, while my human male boyfriend didn't notice a thing wrong with him.

I cannot upvote this enough.

I hate to think of the death of Leia, but I wish there was some way they could open 9 with her ship under fire, she's communicating back to Luke/Rey/Poe/whoever via hologram, and then the hologram cuts off. It wouldn't be an ideal final death scene, but it could still be extremely affecting and would certainly mask a

Honestly, this is probably a joke comment, but she and Carrie did share a rather uncanny resemblance - roughly the same height and build, big brown eyes - and in the later years even had a similar heavy-smoker-and-former-coke-user voice. Nicks may not be able to act, but she'd be a lot more credible in wide shots

Seasons 4 and 5 get way better. Hang in there with it.

Oh God, I'd forgotten all about that. I had this faint feeling while reading this that I didn't like this guy for some reason, but I couldn't remember why, and there it is.

And Bloom County, too!

This may sound weird, but I find Harold and Maude tremendously uplifting.
