SHERIDAN: What’s in there?

Yup. I’m exercising more than I ever have in my life, but still been chasing the same 10 pounds around since March. Part of it is boredom snacking, part “eating your feelings”, and a not-insignificant part is the munchies from one of my other pandemic vices.

Well... I guess someone had to pick up the baton from Shirley MacLaine.

This is such hypocritical manufactured outrage, but dammit, Nancy! WTF did she think was going to happen? Woman can’t stock her freezer with her preferred brands of ice cream without a Fox News exposé, so what exactly was the expected outcome here? Stop scoring own-goals!

These points are essentially where I’m at. Had she gone with the bikini top without the hairstyle, then it would almost certainly have been fine, eliciting little-to-no commentary. But with the Bantu (TIL!) knots? Not great, Bob...

Purely personal story, take from this what you will.

Fantasy Flight Games has the IP for Arkham Horror and other Lovecraft-mythos-related games, and they are surprisingly good at giving you diverse characters to play. Whether it’s one of your Investigators, or some of the human menaces they have to face, there are a lot of faces of color. I think there are also at least…

I was lucky enough to see Dead Again in a nearly empty theatre when it was released, and it was just enthralling. Every part of that movie felt so fresh and original to younger me. I wonder if the twists and reveals in that inspired Shyamalan in his films? 

One of my kids was reading this for school here in Spring, and so we watched the Brannagh version. I tried to explain to them that the most “Household name actor” in the movie at the time it was released was the guy playing Dogberry. I’m not sure how successful I was. The wife and I were also DYING at how bad Keanu…

I generally stay away from astrology as much as possible nowadays, but I’m often uncomfortable at how much my personality is so very, very, very CANCER. Moody? Check. Introverted? Check. Creative, but afraid to show off that side of myself? I like to think ‘Check’. Plus, it’s a water sign, and I am rarely more content…

Thank you. They were like little chunks of cardboard flavored with Splenda and ass...

The wife and I just watched MI 2 & 3 for the first time over the weekend. The script for MI:2 was god-awful, but Woo’s visual style saved the movie itself from being just as awful (one of his gifts as a director). I still found it more entertaining than 3, and a lot of that credit goes to Thandie Newton. Neither movie …

I agree with you about everything except Hard Target. I love that movie un-ashamedly. Lance Henrikson, Arnold Vosloo and Wilford Brimley take it from being a ho-hum action vehicle for Van Damme to something so much more than the sum of its parts. My buddies and I STILL throw quotes from that movie back and forth. And…

Without going in to whether cheese is an appropriate fajita topping, I will share one of my own food foibles. I don’t care for corn IN things. On its own - be it steamed/buttered kernels, or just about any way on the cob (elotes!) - corn is great. I just find the presence of corn kernels in casseroles, rice dishes, or …

Y’know, I really have no room to image shame anyone, but wow. Dude looks like Central Casting’s idea of what a cult leader is supposed to look like...

Goddess, I made the mistake of clicking the link to the archive site. Wow. That is so, so cool, and will be a serious time-sink in the weeks to come. I wonder if the IA has special equipment for converting the Betamax tapes, or if they had to hunt down an old player on eBay or a Goodwill store somewhere.

I know we aren’t supposed to judge a book by its cover but good lord those mugshots are some pretty Klanny covers...

Spam was a staple protein after my parents’ divorce. Grilled spam and cheese was lunch at least once a week before Dad met my wonderful step-mom. I reintroduced myself to the product recently, and was pleasantly surprised. Chopped and fried with egg and cheese makes a really wonderful breakfast burrito. I also fried…

“Rage Against The Machine” - does exactly what it says on the tin, broheim...

I can find no flaw with this theory.
