Jesus, you’re not kidding. I’m not sure this material can even be called pornography. You have to be human to get off to porn, and this is a degree of evil that has lost touch with anything resembling humanity. 

It’s too bad he didn’t do anything that would cross the line with these people, like support reproductive rights.

When you get down to it, Lalo is responsible for Howard’s death, period. If we’re going to blame Kim and Jimmy for being the indirect cause, then we may as well include Gus, Mike, Nacho, Hector, and everyone else connected with the cartel.

Probably the biggest surprise of this season has been Howard’s rehabilitation, as we see more of his personal life and appreciate how hard he tried to improve himself and do better. (Literally every character on the show should follow his lead and get into therapy.) Let’s not forget though, that Howard was trying to…

The soda can trick I was taught was to tap the top of the can a few times before opening. It works—but only because you’re giving the soda time to settle down. The tapping does nothing!

Don’t forget the “Young Gus in Chile” prequel. That’s actually the one I wish they’d make, given the intriguing bits they’ve dropped over the two series. 

100% chance that Jimmy used to shake up Chuck’s soda cans!

The Kids Aren’t Alright

Is this really an old people thing, though? I see all ages of people online defending shitty celebs simply because they really like them and can’t imagine them doing anything awful.

I was actually surprised when Amber Heard appeared in Aquaman in such a prominent role. Not that I was paying much attention to the marketing, but hers was the only major part I didn’t know about going in.

At this point, I’d rather they just moved on to RDR III. (If that’s even going to happen.)

I was hoping to see a minimum of 4-5 games on the list that I haven’t bought for whatever reason, that would justify the cost of the service, and I got that. Returnal, Valhalla, Miles Morales, Death Stranding, Guardians of the Galaxy—those are games I very nearly bought over the past year, so having them included…

To technology! The cause of—and solution to—all of life’s problems!

What an oddly old-fashioned sketch. I thought the whole “straight men can’t be expected to help their partners with anything because we’re no good at basic domestic tasks” joke fell out of fashion ages ago. 

The day I knew I was truly old was when I agreed with the Mongol guy that the open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at the wrist, and wind in my hair were actually best in life. 

Negative reviews in general seem to have fallen out of fashion, if all the “what’s the point of bad reviews?” think pieces over the past several years are any indication. I think you’re right that the MCU (along with Star Wars, etc.) has contributed to this trend. With these Maverick reviews, I sense an overall…

It’s true, commenters here have always complained about the critics (with rare exceptions—I think Donna Bowman for instance was pretty beloved for her Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul coverage). I actually feel like people are being pretty kind to these new reviewers, though maybe that’s just because most of the regular c…

Yeah, you’re right, excellent point—I also can’t think of any recent films centered around your traditional fighter jet dogfights. I guess I actually was thinking more along the lines of Star Wars space battles as you pointed out. And it did make me more intrigued to learn that they actually filmed in the air instead…

I’m surprised that people are so impressed by the flying, actually. It was pretty awesome in the original Top Gun, back when stuff like this was still fairly novel, but doesn’t it seem a little ho-hum in 2022? On the other hand, reading that they actually filmed the actors in the air and didn’t just green screen…
