“I’ve only ever eaten toasted ravioli made with ricotta, so the beef was an added attraction.”
I’ve only ever had meat-filled, but cheese-filled sounds interesting.
“When the fourth place entry “has some redeeming qualities,” you aren’t making a great case for eating at Olive Garden.”
Why? When you go out to eat do you order t he fourth-best thing on the menu?
“it seems like pulling handfuls of popcorn out through those teeth would be really kinda obnoxious.”
What does that even mean?
“Well isn’t that super relatable, lol.”
Could you do us all a favour and get a fucking life? Get SOME kind of happiness in your soul and stop being such an unbelievable asshole all that time?
“Fincher *kinda* disowns Alien 3, which I think is fair.”

No thank you.
What should happen to Messing? She hasn’t been in anything in a couple years and has one project in post-production.

“Then, when we get a situation that genuinely calls out for sincere concern, the commenters have nothing but incredibly hacky snark about dumb remakes.”
The commenters aren’t paid by the AVClub for their comments.
You get the difference, right?
“Does this look like a movie that I’d watch. Unless friends desperately wanted to and they were paying for drinks, probably not.”
Yeah, a lot of people hate fun.
I can’t believe it took so long.
“It is, in other words, profoundly strange, and pretty hokey”
NOTHING you’ve written suggests it’s strange at all, never mind “profoundly” so.
“Might want to fact check”
Hehehe, yeah. Sure.
“Nightmare Alley got a black-and-white redux, Vision In Darkness And Light”
Did they screen it for prison inmates as punishment?
“Also the Subway I went to in the late 90s had a 2 foot longs for $8 deal.”
Well, you should definitely go the that Subway instead of any other.
Oh, that was multiple decades ago and it’s completely and utterly irrelevant to the conversation? Well then why the fuck did you think that was worth bringing up.
“They used to…
“At each, I kept my order as simple as possible. Though you’re allowed to throw, say, spinach and olives on your sandwich at Subway if you want to, I adhered to the basics of a turkey sandwich: white bread, turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.”
Why? If you’re looking for the best sandwich and you like your…
“There’s a reason why I stopped watching wrestling and was happy for the advent of AEW.”

“I wonder if Netflix’s lawyers are currently looking over their deal right now to see if they can get their $500 million back.”
Why? This is far from the first accusation against McMahon and the WWE is more popular than it’s ever been.
Netflix doesn’t give a shit about anything but money.
