Okay, let’s see. The executive in charge of branding was running late, accidentally grabbed his son’s very iffy home-brew D&D campaign notes instead of the presentation portfolio, didn’t realize the mix-up until he got to the meeting, and figured, fuck it, let’s roll with it.

Yeah, I have distinct memories of (a) the late-90s being mostly hot garbage for pop music (+rock, still barely hanging on) and (b) people (mostly music critics) freaking out about (a). Nu metal was a much bigger part of the conversation; I’m kind of amazed none of them showed up on the Billboard list. Maybe that was a…

Always sounded like mid-70s Todd Rundgren to me.

Agreed. That bullet was meant for Biden :-/ 

I wonder if he’ll focus on gigantic novels from here on out. I loved Voice of the Fire; I was expecting him to shift permanently into that kind of experimental lit. I couldn’t get past more than a few 100 pages of Jerusalem though, which I think is less that 10% of that goddamn monolith. It read like it needed a…

Damn, so looking forward to the origin story of the giant coin or whatever the fuck.

(I am pumped for this movie just to see what Joaquin Phoenix brings- dude is made of Joker energy)

Ice-cold take: Curse of the Blair Witch is better and significantly more rewatchable than BWP. 

Yes, I’m getting antsy waiting for Kawhi news too

My favorite part is where after the episode first aired, everyone bitched about how this could never really happen because no one blindly follows a navigator.

I think I like these the most, when you remember all the guys. There’s a special joy to them, and no spackle-level gum.

Leaving aside how those revenues were actually shared... I’m astounded that right now, downloads and physical CDs have equal market share. Who is going out of their way to purchase and play physical media but not go all the way to vinyl? Are there that many people who still use the CD player in their car?

Definitely true for Dr. Frankenstein.

Peele is a tremendous talent, and I’ll queue up for any future film he makes, but man, so far the dude cannot stick the landing.

I’m hoping Jizyah Shorts makes it all the way to the end, but somehow I suspect she will finish prematurely.

I just can’t believe that Finn Wolfhard has a band, and he *didn’t* name it Wolfhard. SMDH

My favorite thing about this movie was the nickname “The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre.”  Everything else... ehhh.

I completely agree intellectually with this comment, yet when I was a maniacal REM fan, I was so damn unhappy when they kept releasing shitty albums in the 00's. Listening to the new stuff- and of course I would get each album hoping for a return to form- really did rewire the REM-enjoying part of my brain, and it was…

I was gonna say that this plan would work up until the first boot, but I’d bet those fuckers would just go out and buy a new Rover.

I love the image of “forgot to break up before the holidays.” All right, got a dinner date with the girlfriend set up, but I could swear I’m forgetting something... did I write it down?  No... right on the tip of my tongue, I know it’s important... ah, shit!
