TLJ was sort of like the Prequel trilogy in that I could understand and respect some of the creative choices, but I still didn’t like the execution (as opposed to TFA which was fairly well written but remarkably uncreative fanfiction).

Some of what modern Trek has done is taking risks, like a goofy adult animated comedy or a kid’s show, or all the stuff they did with Discovery. Not all of it works, but those are definitely breaking out of the mold set by the previous series and movies.

The entire craft market isn’t representative of the average beer consumer. As many different brands as there are on the shelves and and in the coolers of good beer stores, their total sales are all eclipsed by any single macro lager brand. The average beer consumer isn’t paying attention to anything about craft beer…

I’m generally to the right of the Jez (and general Gizmodo sites) zeitgeist but I can’t help but chuckle when red states keep voting against abortion bans after Dobbs.  The rabid pro-life wing of the GOP is like the dog that caught the car and found that bumpers don’t taste good.

Kim Jong-Un is actually really charming once you get to know him.

I think most people understand that there are going to be changes when adapting a story from one medium to another. Scenes get cut or changed because they’re too expensive to be produced as written, scenes are added in order to convey information that was put in the narration instead of the actions/interactions of the…

Either that or they were really good at misdirection.

Just wanted to express appreciation for the juxtaposition of the divine and the profane.  I might steal that for later.

Both these guys were married, and I’m just wondering how you play it off to the wife when you’re building your murder dungeon in the basement or the garage.

No, your reading comprehension is fine.  11:58 is eleven minutes and fifty-eight seconds.  The writer meant 11.58 seconds, and did not express it correctly.  Everyone poo-poohs grammar but it’s actually kind of important for written communication.

I’ve got two, maybe three comments on here plucking the low-hanging fruit of bashing Nanette. And surprisingly enough, I didn’t actually hate it - I watched it all the way through (though I didn’t like it enough to watch Douglas).

Given that Nanette was on the list, the answer to that last question is a resounding ‘No’.

I didn’t watch Rothaniel because I never liked Jarrod Carmichael’s standup. Which is weird, since I loved The Carmichael Show, but his sort of humor worked really well for me in the form of a talky sitcom but not so much on stage.

I love the cognitive dissonance of declaring “Don’t want no f****ts looking at my ass!” while wearing red pleather pants that were obviously sold as ‘Guaranteed to make f****ts look at your ass or your money back!’

I just love how Hedburg was simultaneously foul-mouthed, and yet most of his jokes were the sort of thing that you could tell to kids if you just left out the swears. Master of making absurdity out of mundanity.

Had to make room for Nanette. 

I can’t imagine Lizzo fat shaming anyone, so my assumption is that the intense physical activity was beginning to show on the dancers bodies and Lizzo started making snide comments about wasting away to nothing, followed by suggestions that they ‘haz cheezburger’.

My assumption was that it actually went the other way, and the dancers were starting to lose weight. Lizzo walked by and saw the digits on the scale and was like “You gotta pump those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers!”

Like ‘Sploosh!’ from the TV series Archer.

I’ve never really understood the people who sell (or even destroy) something they already own because they don’t like who made it. Like with folks getting rid of a band’s albums after they find out the lead singer was a rapist or something - yeah, I get not wanting to give them any more money, but divesting yourself…
