I know it’s an integral part of Korean cuisine but I just can’t get down with spam so I always avoid gimbap. My hatred of spam sure made my life difficult when I lived in Busan!

>The franchise belongs to families, not entitled fanboys like Rian Johnson and the creepy Alamo Drafthouse crew.

>The hole in the Death Star that allows you to shoot a missile right into the reactor core is ridiculous

100% this. No one would have seen or liked this movie if it didn’t have Vader murdering a room full of rebel soldiers or shots of iconic Star Wars imagery peppered throughout (ie., the Death Star looming in the background during the climactic battle).

>Following the surprise success of District 9, pretty much everyone was ready to anoint Neill Blomkamp as the king of sci-fi horror.

I feel like Kevin Smith is straight up trolling the film industry at this point. Whenever he signs a deal I imagine him and Affleck getting together, smoking a huge joint, and laughing at the fact that he just got Lionsgate to pay him $8mil to shit out another gigantic turd no one will watch instead of spending that…

Giving Vince McMahon credit for the Rock’s persona is pretty inaccurate. Vince spent years unsuccessfully trying to get Dwayne Johnson over with different gimmicks, most notably as “Rocky Maivai the first third generation WWF star”. Meanwhile Johnson was working on “The Rock” persona himself and was responsible for…

This is what we in the biz call a shakedown.

Honestly the animation in A Bug’s Life isn’t even that much better. Yes it’s better but the difference isn’t really that pronounced, especially if you’re picking one to watch today and not time travelling back to 1998 to catch them when the animation was state of the art.

You’re forgetting that he’s English.  That “I see” is like a slap in the face.

I once bought a pre-packaged muffin from a convenience store and after eating it felt super full so I looked at the nutritional info on the package. Turns out that a single muffin - that was individually wrapped both in plastic and in a muffin wrapper - was considered three separate servings of 200 calories each.

For real that top pic makes him look 900 years old.  

You probably have better odds of winning the lottery than starting a small business in your 20's and having it be so successful that you can retire a millionaire at age 40. It happens but it’s so exceedingly rare that it probably has similar odds as being hit by lightning or something.

#3 on this list is by far the most important - people don’t realize that running a small business is like 10% “doing the thing the business exists to do” and 90% “admin bullshit you need to do to keep the lights on.” 

My wife and I are in a very similar position as we spent our entire 20's and 30's either in school or paying off crippling student loan debt. Now we’re finally debt free (except for our mortgage) and will never consider buying a new car as the last thing we want is a $500 /mo payment for a fucking car even though we…

I haven’t followed GBV in a while but man it is ever going to be the end of an era when Pollard finally stops making music. I remember buying Bee Thousand like 25 years ago and he’s probably released like 30 albums and played something like 2,000 three-hour long concerts in that time.  Dude is an absolute legend.

Yeah this was my thought too; why is anyone comparing ketchup to a raw tomato? Really the only similarity those two things have are the colour red. The proper comparison for ketchup is a packet of sugar.

I find that often the packets are just a substitute for salt. If a recipe wants you to add a packet of onion soup mix or whatever you can probably just replace it with a giant pinch of salt and not really notice the difference.

Yeah, Picard and Data had an almost mentor/protege relationship that went well beyond acquaintances or colleagues.  Data was always asking Picard for general guidance and life advice in a much different way than any of the other characters.

Baby boomer recipes are the worst. Why is that generation so obsessed with adding packets of powder or condensed soup to everything? I was once at a relatives house who had packets of yorkshire pudding mix....for those who don’t know yorkshire pudding has literally three ingredients - flour, eggs, and milk - why would…
