Some of those zombies were well past any kind of medical reanimation expiration date. I mean, there are people working on reanimation (I believe they use squirrels as test subjects), but the corpse has to be intact.

We had a running joke in my house about the Narrow Sea Bikini Wax favored by anyone doing a nude scene.

The lack of magic and/or fantasy in GoT seems like rather a difficult argument to make. Just look at the number of different ways people can come back from the dead. My only point is it’s not necessarily set in England, or even Earth. Just look at the curious lack of pubic hair and the over abundance of skinny women…

But it wasn’t wrong. A lot of “talent” was attracted to Vegas.

Trump has given many speeches that remind me terrifyingly of Flagg. The promises of executions, the encouragement of police brutality, the excoriation of journalists, and his followers eating it up and chanting his name. And then there are people who have supported Trump for their own reasons and just look the other…

Lloyd and Trash are special cases. In a sense, Lloyd does crave order. He wants to be a more capable, competent person than he is. He wants to stop being a fuck up, and Flagg gives him that opportunity. Flagg also comes to him when he is at an EXTREMELY vulnerable moment. Following Flagg is not exactly a decision…

Yes, this. His characters often display genuine kindness, not performative, transactional kindness, like “I’m going to buy this person flowers so that they will sleep with me”. Think about his character in Funny People. He’s not nice so that he will get the girl. He can’t help but be nice, even if it means he might…

Found mine when I went to the ER for dizziness and some vision problems. Tumor was benign and had nothing to do with my symptoms (it’s still there), but it was certainly a bad couple a months while we were working that out. I think undiscovered small brain tumors are more common than people realize.

The characters Seth Rogen often plays are not average. They are way above average in terms of being nice. This is a powerful attractant to smart women.

I would like to challenge the refrain that Seth Rogen is an “everyman”. I have dated a lot of men, I have been hit on by even more, and very few are as nice and sweet as Seth Rogen (or at least the romantic characters he so convincingly plays). Powerful, confident women don’t select men based on what other people…

And dire wolves were from North America, and they probably weren’t even canids, based on DNA evidence. OK, I’m done.

And also, while I understand that the lazy interpretation is that Westeros is something like England, the seasons don’t work like those on Earth, let alone England. Just sayin’.

So, um, that’s actually the second time Tyrion calls for trial by combat. The first time went a bit better for him, and his champion Bronn, who (spoilers) lives until the end of the series and becomes Lord of Highgarden and Master of Coin (and he’s pretty hot if you’re an oldish broad like me).

I remember seeing a home remodeling show where the home owner was a female police officer. The designer’s plan was to put a great big sliding door right her in her bedroom out to the garden. She was like “yeah, we’re not gonna do that.”

The change to Vegas is particularly galling. The whole point of the book is that the law-and-order-kick-ass-and-take-names types follow Flagg. They deride Boulder as a bunch of hippy peace-nicks who can’t get their shit together and turn on the lights. And Lloyd! Ugh. Lloyd is also a tragic character, a dumbass loser…

This reminds me of a great Christmas from a few years ago, back when you could visit people. My friend’s boyfriend and brother kept shocking each of with this self-defense ring my friend had gotten for Christmas (for when she walked the dog late at night). They would shock, then scream, then laugh, then repeat on a…

No way this guy can develop a cult of personality like Trump. I don’t like Trump and never have, not when he was a joke playboy in the 1980s, not on Howard Stern, not in pro-wrestling, not on TV, and not as president. But that career trajectory is an indication that many, many people find him entertaining. Josh Hawley…

Indeed. If the CIA were doing their job correctly, we would not know they exist.

He’s a pretty lame-ass shaman.

Like, where are you going to put that where it’s not going to look ridiculous? The only place it does not look ridiculous is the place that asshole took it from.
