Dolphins are like humans in that they can be very cute but also seriously sick bastards.

What? I, a woman who joined an organization which explicitly says men should have authority over women and which has fought for years to roll back women’s right to control their own lives and bodies, now find my rights and bodily comfort have been disregarded in order to serve men? That’s unfair!

What’s funny to me about totalitarianism is its failure on its own terms. It’s a form of government meant to ensure the safety of the people at the very top that, in the end, does nothing of the sort. Stalin had the country’s best doctors arrested, leaving none around to treat him after the cerebral hemorrhage that

How is it that this still hasn’t turned into a Troy McClure quote thread? What happened to you, AV Club?

‘Excuse me Mr Culver, but I’ve forgotten what these peppers represent ...’

I actually really rate 2003's Hulk and appreciate Lee’s decision to do something a little less generic with the superhero movie. The only parts that I don’t think work as well as they might are a couple of the fight sequences (the silly mutant dogs scrap, and the final battle with his father/The Absorbing Man). Not

It’s not even really horror. It’s a comedy with gore.

Isn’t the fact that an aborted fetus will apparently attempt to murder everyone around it actually a convincing argument for abortion?

The connection is a bit tenuous. Also - the Byzantines quite literally were the Roman Empire!

There’s actually a whole mystery to that tattoo business, so isn’t as clear cut as you might think:

Just to elaborate on how The Santa Clause made me lose my belief in The Santa Claus:

Friend of mine was in bar in East Village years ago. Guy bursts in through front door and says, “how you get to CBGB?” Bartender not even look up. “Don’t practice.”

Why, as the larger cat, does Garfield not simply eat Nermal?

When do we get this level of analysis for TMBG’s “Flood,” which was the most impactful album of my youth and therefore should be of interest to everyone?

I guess people are different, but my father (in his 80s) always brings up that delivery in general was very common decades ago (his family used to not only have restaurant food but also groceries delivered in the 1940s)

I hate hightops as well. I’m short and I always feel like a little kid sitting at the big people table.

I just watched it last night, and I watched all the credits too (which I rarely do). So there were a lot of weird thank yous in there that made me chuckle (thankfully to relieve all the crying). I’d totally drive an hour or so to go check this place out after seeing the movie. But I’m weird. I wouldn’t be surprised if

Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton have to be in that!
