Why is there always a little smiling face in the corner of the TV screen? Is that the narrator?

Did you go to Subway later to cheer yourself up?

He should have been a gentlemen and said: “Ok, man, any way you want it....”

There’s going to be a huge Atheist circle-jerk about how this movie is what Interstellar should have been. Watch for it in November.

Who says they never publish good news anymore?

Maybe I've been a social worker too long, but items 2 And 3 on your list seem like the most mundane-ass fauxhemian hipster douchebag horseshit that could ever be discussed at all.

It’s sad that parents don’t have more interesting things to talk about than mundane baby products. I wonder if parents from past centuries would find this just as bizarre as I do.

If you want to emphasize your class distinctions, there has to be a funnier way of doing it than by having a baby and spending a fortune on it.

Take the guns and the gas from the cops. Turn them out on foot with batons if necessary, but let them work in the community the way London bobbies used to, without firearms.

Honest question: have baby bumps always been tabloid fodder, or is it a post-2000 thing?

He doesn't need a hammer. He has the Auryn.

My dad once told me he saw an old Italian SF movie where the premise was a bunch of robbers would suck all the air out of a bank and create a perfect vacuum inside because.... That would turn the place into an anti-gravity room so the robbers could float past the infrared sensors.

How can this be as commonplace as they say, but it hasn't been objected to until now?!

Remember that Amy Schumer skit where she acted-out what happens when a hot starlet goes on a talk show? Those dudes in the audience who started whacking-off when she started talking about what a big Star Wars fan she was will love this video, and will REALLY love pointing out additional references you missed.

Good to know. I guess we’ll look forward to it?
