Uh, William Goldman would like to have a word with you about Buttercup not being a name for royalty.

“It’s the first film DC has gotten right, mainly because Zack Snyder isn’t directing it.”

Fucking hell, yes. I work just a couple of blocks from the place where the Portland racist demonstrations will be happening as well as the downtown courthouses. Oh, and then there’s the tv station cohoused in the building I work in. I’m *constantly* worried about shit going down, although it’s not just because of…

That fight scene in the village! I’ve been tearing up at women and girls being at the center of action and fight scenes kicking all of the ass lately. The Walking Dead (well, okay, I bailed partway through the latest season), Logan, Game of Thrones (rewatch), and now this. Beloved characters dying? Dry eyes.…

I swear every single person who talks about joining Next Door also talks about the amount of racist crap posted to it. My guess is that it just attracts gossipy people who feel a little bit... freer to indulge in their racist tendencies due to the relative anonymity. Or it provides a sort of Petri dish where…

I thought he was supposed to be an American working for the British. He definitely had a one hundred percent US accent when he wasn’t pretending to be German.

Hell, the movie isn’t even about America. The majority of the characters are European, and a large chunk of those are British. It has two North American characters, one of whom might actually be Canadian for all we know (I do know the actor is). The entirety of the movie takes place in non-American locations. It would…

He was the William Katt character in the remake of Carrie and is going to be the Judd Nelson character in the upcoming remake of Billionaire Boys Club. In other words, no.

You need to watch the gif JujyMonkey posted. The balloons from the snow globe + the look on Fred’s face = oh, hey, flashback to that dude from the con!

It’s kind of sad when you want to remind them that the EPA was a Nixon creation. And by “kind of sad,” I mean “HOLY FUCKING SHIT.” On the up side, I’m no longer worried about being turned into pink vapor stew by nuclear war. Instead, it will be from air and water pollution.

I can... ten-key really, really quickly. Oh! And I actually work for a French bank. Or at least a US bank owned by a French bank. I’ll probably mangle the French language for a while by mixing it up with Spanish (I had to stop taking French in college because I kept doing everything in Spanish), but I’m sure I would…

We were never sure whether it was confidence or drug use. It was Seattle in the ‘90s, after all.

That reminds me of a guy who went to a science fiction convention I used to go to. He was known for one thing and one thing only: wearing tights and a leotard covered in blown-up small balloons (like the size of water balloon) and kind of dancing by himself over in the corner of the Saturday night social. His dance…

Because I saw a video of the rant. I’m having problems grabbing a link directly to the video, but here’s one to an article from a local weekly paper that includes the video:

You mean the volunteering part or the rapes and murders? Because the Scarborough Rapist was their second episode.

The night before he murdered these two people, he went off on an epic rant condemning Jews, Christians, and Muslims. He very loudly proclaimed he was pagan. And Norse, which was very telling for me. I don’t know how it is in other parts of the country, but in this area, the more you claim to be Norse, the more of a…

Every single morning, I hope I will see a news alert that he has stroked out when I check my phone. I remain hopeful that it will happen.

This was my immediate thought. One of my favorite actors** recently had a stroke, and he very clearly has problems with typing words out correctly right now.

I think it’s holiday weekend rebound. People are back at work but in denial about it, or their brains are in summer mode, and so they post here to keep themselves from standing up in their cubicle screaming.

Springer did get busted and resigned — and then won his seat back the following year. And then was elected mayor a couple of years after that.
