Sneaker customization has been a thing for decades. Nike had no problem with their “heavenly” custom shoe. This is more about what Jordan said that one time “Republicans buy sneakers too” and Republicans are currently throwing a hissy fit over the video and shoes.

It gets even better with Jerry’s news post... 😂

Such a missed opportunity to make it like an actual penis. 

While I generally find the “all gentrification is evil” narrative pretty limited, to me this is just called: Do Your Research. Figure out what happens in a neighborhood, decide whether or not you’d be happy to live there, and then sign your lease accordingly. Don’t show up and mess with the lives of the people who…

I’m rewatching all of ST right now and just started season 3 of TNG today and yeah, its an insane change. TNG’s season 1 and 2 feel very much like a direct continuation of TOS. Not just in the way they’re written, but the way they’re shot, the lighting, the angles, the music stings, the sets the line deliveries. All…

You miss out on the scarring space parasites episode where the head explodes. It was supposed to set up a big plotline that was never explored! Or the super racist one that got the director of it blacklisted from the series. Or the weird bad uniforms that looked like sleepwear. Or the weirdly shitty lighting.

Well perfect example; my all-time favorite TV show is Star Trek: The Next Generation, and I can’t watch the first two seasons. Not just because they’re bad (and they are) but knowing that Gene Roddenberry was a drug-addled mess being manipulated by his lawyer, the writers were dunking on Wil Wheaton behind his back,…

The two shows that are beating her (Dr Phil and the Kelly Ripa show) never had huge audience participation elements to them, unless Dr Phil has started dancing in the aisles in the last couple years. Ellen always came off as a middle-aged dance party, and taking that element away from it has probably factored into the…

It’s probably true that some people were turned off by the Buzzfeed article, but I would think the bigger factor is the lack of crowds. From the few random times I watched, it seemed like a big ol’ housewife party that other housewives could sit at home and watch and enjoy. Now it’s just Ellen sitting around…

Not me. Because if I am taking the time to think about wearing PPE, the less stupid part of me has time to raise objections.

One of the film that still gets me to this day is The Good Earth, which is set in China and yet all of the lead actors are white actors in yellowface. Actual Chinese people were only used as background extras.

Supposedly, Anna May Wong (considered by many to be the first Chinese-American Hollywood star) was up for the…

I read Eaters of the Dead a couple years ago, and I think you're right about Baghdad. If they wanted to change the story to feature maybe a poet from the Almohad Caliphate in Spain, the timeline would work out okay for that poet to get picked up by Viking raiders. You just would have to change their path to Denmark.

I. Y. Yunioshi had to be in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, since it was the team-up film representing the culmination of Phase 1 of the Breakfast Cinematic Universe. It was The Breakfast Club of its day!

Man I genuinely wish there was an edit of Breakfast at Tiffany's without Mickey Rooney.  He's so goddamn inconsequential that you could remove him and lose nothing.  Oh and while the Childrens Hour does have the annoying bury your gays trope, but at least it's not actively hateful.  My love of Audrey might be blinding…

Perfect time for a Fu Manchu revival.

I have had a movie idea kicking around that I want them to make. It will be based on the bus driver. He goes to work every day, driving so many people essentially to their inevitable deaths. The stress of being nothing more than a modern-day Anubis gets to him. But it doesn’t throw him into a downward spiral until he…

I feel like a lot of the Series’ improvements over last gen are like that: decidedly unsexy, but in terms of general quality of life, actually pretty impressive. Like Microsoft was working overtime to make sure you didn’t really notice the changeover in generations, which is... kind of thankless and boring in terms of…

I like this idea better. Just because the GIF is great.

They REFUSED to publish my story about my Miata getting locked to a Supercharger! It’s been there 7 months, still on E. 

Can’t believe it is taking the big players so long to get into the flavored aiolis/sauces game. So many popular restaurants are realizing people will pay $8 for fries if it comes with house made peppercorn wasagarlic cheese aioli, and grocery stores have numerous options from small/regional brands....but the Heinz’s…
