It’s nice to know that he’s turned over a new leaf.  Better things ahead for this young man!

On the whole, well-researched article, but I want to share that there’s been a wellness movement in Indigenous digital communities for several years, with frequent meetups for distance running events, and in these communities, frybread is anathema. There’s a generation of us who are parents and who are teaching our…

And here I was just trying to make a wee joke about how the pacifier being an infinity stone would make a lot of sense in the Simpsons’ over the years. 

S2 of IRON FIST was much, much better than S1. Fairly low bar, sure.  But it jumped way over it and made me excited for what could have been a great S3.

Glad to be of service.

Counterpoint - as SingedVinegar and Other Sea Creatures have pointed out, OC is broadcast back-to-back with University Challenge, and I’d rate UC as the harder programme. Mainly because around 15% of UC questions rely on the team having someone who is studying in a particular field - picture The School of Oriental and…

If you’re going to watch Only Connect (which is standard viewing in the Vinegar household) then you need to watch University Challenge. The questions are just as tough and you’re always guaranteed a bit of hilarity on UC Twitter, especially on the very rare occasions they get a semi-decent-looking man or woman…

In the UK the show airs as part of a double feature with University Challenge, the long running general knowledge quiz where the teams represent individual universities in the country.

I usually enjoy UC as it makes me feel good when I occasionally get an answer the team doesn’t, and then I watch Only Connect and I…

Loved the first season precisely because it wasn’t about a one-dimensional man shooting people left and right. That’s just boring, sorry. I’ll play a video game if I want that but I don’t want to see it on my TV. Hopefully, this season will feature more of Castle’s emotional arc. Love watching a hard man having a…

And having seen The Intouchables, here are the original two people that all this is based on, Philippe Pozzo di Borgo with Abdel Sellou:

Being a fan of acerbic wit and British comedy, I’ve been watching Charlie Brooker’s stuff for about 10 years now, and it still surprises me when people think of him as:”The Black Mirror guy”.

This is NOT a man you fuck with. His whole career was based on cutting people/things/institutions apart in very intellectual…

Jesus fucking Christ how long before this no longer gets commented on every fucking article about meat replacements?? People like the taste of meat, but if we can get that without killing things, that’s obviously better. So that’s what they’re attempting to do. How the fuck is that so hard to understand?

This looks like it’s taken from the Sketchy Looking Heist Movie Extras Handbook.

You’re 100% right there, when I finally saw City On Fire I was appalled by how much Tarantino had ripped off, and that to this day he hasn’t come clean is pretty shitty behaviour.

Look, I could talk about Tarantino’s propensity to steal forever. In the 90s we all laughed it off as ‘homage’ or part of (ugh) “Remix culture” and whatnot - hey! we’re all postmodern now, it’s fine! - but even with those Youtube videos that show the side-by-side comparisons of some of the more upfront ‘lifts’,…

It’s only a war crime if you lose the war.  Gaga doesn’t start wars she can’t win.
