I’ve bought a few “broken item” mystery boxes online. Mostly for airsoft guns. Being a mostly mechanical thing with minimal electronics, they are pretty fixable. Most times they were perfectly working. Maybe had a bb jammed in the barrel or a motor slightly ajar. A few minutes of work on these things and you can make…

Oh, good one! Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci really elevate that movie above the book.

This is a weird one, but The Devil Wears Prada. The film is sweet fluff and the book is strangely cynical.

The trouble with adapting Catch 22 is much like adapting Vonnegut, it’s very difficult to nail both the tone and the casting.

A friend of mine does the craft fair here, and struggled to sell her lovingly handmade stuff for a couple of years. Then she started making “mystery boxes” with like marbles and ribbon and shit in them, and people buy them like crazy.

I didn’t know that was a thing.  Maybe some people just really like surprises.

Its a great way for a company to get rid of inventory that doesn’t sell. Dumping it on a loot crate company for cents on the dollar is better than having it sit idle in a warehouse for a couple of years.

Some people can’t help themselves and that’s why I’ve changed my tune on this. I use to think “god have some self control” but sadly some peoples brains are wired to take these chances, no matter how stupid they look to the average person. Hearing people post about how they can’t help themselves made me even thing of…

Cube does today what he’s always done: Hustle and stack chips.

It’s easy to miss, but the word “up” is very, very key to this headline.

Rather than feeling boobs, it’s about humiliating and traumatizing in a particularly demeaning way and othering her from the “cool kids” since he obviously got other people involved in it.

Do you want a cookie? I’m not sure why anyone is taking a victory lap on any of these stories.

It’s not like Louis C.K.’s “apology” was much better despite being longer.

This registers a whopping 0.0 on the Pope Francis Surprise-O-Meter™.

Too bad Dick Sargent is dead.

AV Club should have a section just for parents. And not just something that talks about how horrible kids’ entertainment is.

My school would have chicken fried steak on Mondays then “steak fried chicken” on Tuesdays. I think it was just the leftovers. Neither tasted anything like steak or chicken.

Yeah, I am generally shocked that someone would use the idea that in context sexual assault of an incoherent gay man is cool because...WeHo in the 80s.

Are you implying that George’s “jokes” were just “locker room talk”?

That is some finely calibrated conspiracy theory there.
