Yeah, I thought so, but tone doesn't come across well on the Internet.

Sloppy structure or no, it's brilliantly executed. I watched the whole series a couple of years ago and it's the episode that hit hardest: Victoria's hellish fate still haunts me.

I can't tell if you're joking or not and I figure you probably are, but just in case: I can't have animated ads on the page because I find them so distracting that they're literally all I can see. It's either block ads or don't read the Internet.

Hush should have ended about five minutes earlier than it did (after she incapacitated him with the wasp spray she should have kept spraying, then beaten his brains out with her one good hand) but otherwise it was a good, tense thriller.

Seriously. That's why I can never read that book: because I know what this word means and I know it happens midway through.

Tito.

The boys in the auto shop retooled Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. OBVIOUSLY.

Two in particular, or just any random two?

Not just my few cents. Everyone's few cents that add up to millions of dollars and a career. I can't control mass opinion but I can do my little part and hope others do as well.

Or conversely you could say that where you spend your money reflects your values, and you don't want to give that money to someone whose values are so radically different from your own. If I learned that an artist was tithing a church that advocated the murder of gay people, I wouldn't want to give any of my money to

I think the difference is that if you look at a painting in a museum, the artist isn't getting a cut of the money you paid to see it, whereas if you pay to see a movie, you're directly profiting the director.

You know, you could have gone with Raper, Taken.

If they're anything like the aliens in "Story of Your Life", they're (and this is not a spoiler) alien. Completely unknowable, with inscrutable motives. They show up and do some things that seem to suit them but serve no purpose we can understand. And that's just about it, because they're not really what the story is

I've never actually eaten one but if you didn't have any salt-and-vinegar chips you could open a hand warmer, grind the contents into a powder, and sprinkle it on potato chips. I assume.

They printed cups with the logo upside down so that when the employee inverted it, you would be able to read the logo right-side up. And then they stopped doing that. And for all I know they started doing it again in some markets. But it used to be a thing. They even had giant Blizzard mobiles hanging in the stores

Pretty much exactly the same thing. I think a Skor is slightly thinner? Otherwise, basically identical.

They have a style guide, I'm sure: but there's nobody to enforce it. I haven't seen evidence for a long time that anybody copy-edits anything that gets published in the AV Club, and so we're subjected to typos, grammatical errors by the bucketload, and infelicities in style that any editor would catch in a second.

The term "community" is completely meaningless in that context. Take it from a gay man. I have no problem with conflating gay men, lesbians, trans people, bi people, and all the rest because we do have something in common — according to the most conservative elements of society, we don't do sex properly — but to call

Yeah, just like

Self-Loathing Cheesecake.
