You're drinkin, screwin, and playing chess with God now, kid.

Die Hard With a Vengeance. Almost Famous. NL Vacation. Caddyshack. Boyhood, which I hated but DOES feel like summer. The Great Outdoors. And fuck it, Friday, even though it's in LA and I have no idea what time of year it's supposed to be.

I hope the Duffer Brothers have genuinely planned on justice for Barb, and this isn't just them reacting to fan pressure over the internet. Whatever they do, even if it's just ignoring her, I'd like to think that they're the ones driving the plot and that the fans have zero say. Because while astute, fan theories tend…

I think Barb is hot. For real. The internet has done things to me.

I think I liked season one (I was 15 so I can't really stand by my opinion). Big drop off every year afterward. It was a very bad sketch show and one that should have died years before it did.

I went from really excited when I heard Larry Wilmore was the host to checking out in a month. If they hadn't done the roundtable it might have worked. But the roundtable was the centerpiece, and given at most 2 segments it was always going to be the loudest and usually dumbest voice to get airtime. Maybe they fixed…

He probably can't, but that's fine so long as he never tries to be anything else. There's a lot of money to be made being typecast, so long as you're also a good enough actor. Mark Walberg has never appeared in a movie without looking confused as to why the sun rose that day, and he's made millions. You do you, smug…

Every decade there's some movie like this (Lord of War last time) that comes out as a serious dark comedy that thinks it's way more edgy than it really is. It's just not as compelling a topic as you might assume.

Nope.

I knew somebody who worked on one of the first versions where Arachne sings some song about needing a lot of shoes. Because she's a spider. And spiders need a lot of shoes. That was part of the original vision. Nothing stupid about that.

Did they ever consider that Spiderman + U2 + Musical = Fucking stupid?

IPA's still dominate my decently sized beer store. But for whatever reason, NYC does not appear to be on the cutting edge of beer culture. I have no is why that is the case, as the residents usually want to be among the first of any other scene. Maybe they've realized that as wine snobbery is a fraud, the same must be…

Whether you genuinely believe that or not, you have to admit that you are in the minority. It's a good movie. I'm sure the sequel will disappoint, but for what it set out to do, no, it was not among the worst of the year. But if you want to be contrarian, go right ahead.

Now that you mention it, I could go for some pumpkin pie.

A lot of people rip on Pumpkin stuff but honestly at this point I'll try something new that isn't "Durrr it's another IPA. Quadruple IPA. So it tastes like a battery." IPAs are fine in a vacuum but we don't need to try 5,000 variations and we should stop offering small business loans to breweries who propose another…

At minimum Guardians of the Galaxy and Edge of Tomorrow are good, and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was at least okay and well made.

Everybody bitched 2 years ago about how bad the movies were, but 2014 gave us Edge of Tomorrow, Guardians of the Galaxy, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Days of Future Past (I didn't think it was terrible), and if we extend summer into September, John Wick. What the fuck has this summer given us? Civil War was…

I really fucking hated Our Lady Peace at the time. Couldn't tell you what they sound like now but art the time I hated them ( for completely different reasons) almost as much as I hated Creed.

“A&R people, who know music better than anyone…"

Watching Stranger Things now. But I'm going to take my time. Don't feel it's a binge show. More like one a day until it's done.
