I really thought FP was gonna sing there and was sad when he did not.

Or a girl. Because she was the girl. But when I played by myself I went with Ralph.

It’s a shame they took the approach they did. I feel conflicted about Apu in 2018 but that is the exact risk you take when you let your show go on for 30+ years. They are not frozen in amber glass as a product of its age, they are a living breathing thing and as such, still subject to that kind of criticism. Very few…

It’s funny you mention the Lego Movie because I think that is the exact appeal of Ready Player One, the idea that all of your favs are playing together. That was what I hoped the movie would be. I haven’t seen it yet, so maybe it is. But what was fun about it was the giddiness of imagining Godzilla and the Stay Puft…

It cannot be overstated how insanely stupid that line is. It’s been like haunting me all day. I’ll just be minding by business, and then “secret, brilliant way” comes floating in my head, and I imagine this shy, coquettish vagina, not unlike the Mingey episode of South Park. “Oh, am I at it again? I’ll never tell.…

I am also annoyed by this trope, but I can see an intellectual case being made for it. I think nostalgia gets stronger as pop-culture gets more fragmented. I often use 80's music as a crutch when I have my friends over because we all have such different musical tastes as adults, but we listened to the same shit as…

I also think it’s possible that The Muppets worked as well as they did based on the specific chemistry of the specific performers. You don’t hear people saying, “Man, why isn’t that cover band exactly as good as the Beatles?” I mean, maybe you do. I don’t know where everyone hangs out.

I just feel the need to post Jennifer Garner’s response to the tattoo when it was first revealed as it is all that needs to be said on the matter:

I think When Harry Met Sally gets more mainstream credit because of the happy ending. It has been awhile since I’ve seen Annie Hall, but I remember it coming off as, “Here is this funny, quirky, real, independent woman...and this idiot can’t really handle that.” Which is a worthy take on the subject matter. But it…

This one is maybe the only rom-com I owned, watched a bazillion times, can quote, etc. And I think the main reason is Harry and Sally are funny and interesting as people independently and then also together. That seems like it should be so obvious, but few designated romantic comedies pull that off. Weirdly related in…

Raising Cane’s sauce was kind of a bummer for me. Their tenders are delicious. And the sauce is fine. But it annoys me that it is the only dipping option. Conform or die. Halfway through my tenders I was a little sick of the taste and there were just no other avenues to explore. Except ketchup. If you put ketchup on…

I was very confused that the cameras were all still filming at the “happy couple” rendezvous, and we did look it up and it seems that is not the norm. I suspect what happened is Ari realized he wanted to break up and called the producers first to see if that was like, allowed. And they were like, “Yeah, man, follow…

“It’s because I don’t happen to have any cash on me.” Exactly! Me too! That’s what I’m saying, the less it’s the norm for people to need to have cash on them, the more unfair it is for a system to depend on it. Going out to eat is (often) a privilege. Ignoring the roll privilege plays in tipping doesn’t help anyone.…

Most people don’t carry cash around anymore. And honestly, why should we? Technology has moved passed it. Even laundromats and arcades have chip cards. I have no issues at all with tipping, but I admit that I am rarely going to remember to have tip appropriate denominations of cash in my wallet before I enter a…

This is exactly the kind of thing that just makes me shrug and say, “Yes, and?” when people complain that The Last Jedi had pointless scenes or logic that does not hold up to the slightest scrutiny. That is house style for Star Wars.

The introduction of Wakanda spy Nakia made me immediately think about the possibilities of teaming her up with Black Widow. There would be so many fun settings and interesting characters to play off of. And a great excuse for more Shuri!

The whole plot definitely could have used another episode, but I think there’s a certain dramatic justice in the thing that brings Rebecca down is the one thing she may have been justified in doing. No one rallied around her Big Little Lies style, because Rebecca is Queen Lying Liar Who Lies, and now everyone knows…

I was in high school when Scream 2 came out and I was so angry that they killed Randy. Like, really full of nerd rage to the point where I couldn’t enjoy the rest of the film. I should watch it again, as my Jamie Kennedy love was the briefest of phases.

I think rom-coms get slammed for being unrealistic in a way other films do not because there is apparently a subset of women who use them to set the baseline expectation of romance in their real lives.

I’m catching up on the DVR and I just have to express my delight at the character of Nathaniel and Scott Michael Foster. He is so God damn hilarious but his acting is so natural, his emotions are just all over his face all the time. Which makes him even funnier? But also heartbreaking. And also hot. He’s not even my…
