Yeah, took me :20 to see that Minions did $1.2B, Rise of Gru did $939M, and Despicable Me did $543M. Those are huge hits.

Driving to Costco is going to be so much more fun.

Seems like he got good advice to shut up and wait, unlike some celebrities who prematurely came to the defense of their friends with some version of “I never saw it therefore it can’t be true.”

Oh, for the days when “freedom fries” seemed the most idiotic thing people would do.

I was a longtime holdout of a DVD plan but gave it up several years ago the last time I moved. I actually think the value prop is becoming more compelling now as the streaming wars have moved from throw as much money as possible at content to try to make money and there are more services competing so it’s increasingly…

Karen was mad that he had better seats. Her man that she’s cackling to needs hustle harder.

This a question that you never want to ask, let alone answer, about chocolate hazelnut spread.

On SAS, Higher Learning took him to task yesterday for this. I would love to see someone present him with the long list of evidence for him to respond to. The quote above follows him saying that he knew Trump because he was a big sports fan who held events blah blah blah without real specifics of how. He’s such a starf…

For a moment, I was like, how did I miss Trent Reznor as a vampire?

A lot of the entertainment industry is righly terrified behind the scenes about what AI is going to do to their jobs and/or profits. From displacement to replacement it’s a imminent content creation tidal wave that DGAF about IP.

We aren’t critizing him for not reading enough books, we, or at least I, am making fun of how much of a comical virtue signaler vis-a-vis his alleged prowess for reading he has been. That’s got nothing to do with whatever else he’s done.

they lead the Mandalorians into a hallway where they can get boxed in by none other than Moff Gideon

And the Board’s. It’s pretty crazy that this wasn’t more of a plot line at various points.

Please don’t link to either of their videos.

Despite rarely getting past the first page,

I think because they were never really cool or countercultural. They certainly may have been counterprogramming, hence the college-rock into alternative “genres,” but the bulk of their awareness and popularity comes from the Out of Time/Automatic for the People MTV video era which was their most “VH1" era, compared to…

I think you have to be someone who doesn’t know or care enough (like an athlete) or someone that has some sort of stand-up or theater experience to be comfortable. Just reading about what that week is typically like stresses me on behalf of all parties involved. Having some sort of professional reputation to uphold…

Thank you. Every time I make some dig at Shiv it seems like people get oddly defensive. You can like Sarah Snook and still thing Shiv is as bad (or worse, IMO) than the rest of them. She’s (I think?) the youngest and we don’t know much about her pre-WR days (which, isn’t even accurate because she doesn’t even have a…

Nice list. I agree it’s pointless to argue ranking and there are a few subs I would make. I won’t argue that it’s their best song at this point in my life but “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)“ will always be me favorite. Document was the first R.E.M. album that I heard when it came out as…
