If the state of tow truck availability is what lowers your hopes about societies future I’m kinda concerned how  you’re going to handle it when you hear about the covid vaccination rate.

Yeah in my experience I’m lucky to get a tow in 45 minutes. Oh sure, they’ll tell you on the phone it will be 45 minutes, but they ALWAYS take longer. 

There were several shots which were really, really nice in this episode. 

Malek strikes me as being exactly the sort of “serious” dramatic actor who happens to be hilarious when working in sketch comedy (John Hamm being the obvious example)

It’s about what the design represents. they ran a very informative article about this when the new livery was first announced.

It isn’t isn’t street legal and looks like it’s really wide so trailering it is probably a royal pain in the ass, so you’ll be very limited in where you can actually use it. My guess is the typical use case would be if you own a substantial amount of land so you can trailer it up there once and do what you please with…

What you’re describing is a market economy. It’s not only legal, it’s how our economy is supposed to work. The solution is to not buy something if you feel that it is priced unfairly.

The dealers can charge whatever they please for the cars; buyers are free to walk away from the deal. There’s nothing corrupt or even remotely illegal about it.

Every single time someone pays one of these markups, it’s absolutely, 100% fair. And the reason why it’s fair is becuase the customer paid it. The only way to define a fair price in a market economy is the agreed upon sales price between a buyer and a seller. And when I say “agreed upon” I mean there’s an executed…

I REALLY wanted to like Star Trek... and I think they came pretty close to actually pulling it off, becuase the characters all get decent development and the overall story is pretty good. but the more you think about the plot the worse it gets. I used to think that they got screwed by the writers strike, becuase you…

There’s no one person, becuase there are so many parts of the original trilogy that are done so amazingly well that they whole becomes so much more than the sum of the parts. Things like the art direction, set design, sound design, soundtrack, and special effects are each outstanding achievements on their own. Lucas…

Luke instinctively used the force without knowing it also, that’s why he thought it was no big deal to make that shot, becuase he had been using the force all along on Tatooine. Anakin used the force without training more than either of them when he was pod racing. So Rey’s force sensitivity is not without precedent. 

Oh man, if they posted this on Jalopnik the commenters over there would absolutely lose their shit. The only suggestion that’s correct is the first one, and that’s something that’s basic knowledge. Some of these make sense on the surface but are debateable at best, like filling up your tires. sure, if your tires are…

well that’s not really the point of the column, is it? if you want the whole story you gotta watch the doc and then form your own opinion.

I didn’t see that coming at all, but I always enjoy a nice Ninja training camp! We need these in more movies, it shouldn’t be limited to action movies. say for instance, romantic comedies; why can’t the protagonists go for a romantic walk through a ninja training camp? Ninja’s can train on romantically lit beaches at…

The MCU reveals a worldwide agency of super ninja spy assassins’ like every third movie, how did the killers from Black Widow stay off everyone’s radar? and of course nothing will ever top the “Shield is really Hydra” nonsense.

Like it or not, 1 week seems to be the accepted timespan for major spoilers, for minor spoilers it’s opening weekend. Who’s going to click on this article a week from now? Honestly it probably would have gotten more clicks last Monday. And while I hate on spanfeller era AVCLUB as much as the rest of us, the writers…

They would have but there was a lawsuit about that back in the 90's I think and that’s illegal. or maybe they passed a law making it illegal, I can’t remember. I just know that you can’t tie a warranty to maintenance provided by the manufacturer. evidently the inspections get around this becuase they aren’t performing…

I like that he doesn’t go on to say “which means we can keep writing more great jalop content” or something like that, he got to “more money” and just left that hanging out there.

30 Rock was VERY smart to make the in-show show dumb and make the jokes ABOUT the show. They also really didn’t show much at all about TGS, all we got were background site gags and occasional rehearsal screw-ups.
