Giant penis. 

Are you saying that escaping a woman who wants to kill and skin you and turn your hide into a coat is NOT an adventure?

I agree, “dog” and “cat” years come taking a typical lifespan of 10-12 years and comparing it to the typical human lifespan of 70-80 years, giving you about ~7 human years for each “dog” or “cat” year. But developmental milestones (e.g., sexual maturity) and variance (e.g., the maximum lifespan) do not directly scale

Can I just remind everybody whingeing about Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi that there’s no fucking way he could have told that story without the blessing of both Kathleen Kennedy and Disney?

Better idea: Fire everyone BUT Orlando Jones, give up on American Gods, and make an Anansi Boys miniseries instead.

Also, I think the entire performance could have been saved had she spent some time on Shy being a ladies’ man. 

Can we give props to Wanda Sykes as Moms Mabley!

Dear screenwriters: Stop writing stories about journalists who sleep with sources. You’d think our shared experience as nerdy, workaholic, under-appreciated writers would engender a little more understanding and empathy from their side of things.

It’s messed up how Trieu made that couple trade their house for a baby when they could’ve just gone down to the old fishing hole.
