I really hope this movie is good. Because I really want to take my daughter to it and then surprise her with the Wonder Woman figurine in the car after.

Hi, I’m Troy McClure. You may remember me from such elite career orientation videos as “So You Want To Run General Electric?” and “Orientation The Right Way: Welcome To the St. Louis Cardinals.”

Today we’ll learn together about the exciting world of being the President of the United States. First, welcome to the Oval…

Part of me thinks I’d be really annoyed. The other part of me would gladly accept some PSA time as a replacement for Ina Garten’s incessant fawning over Jeffrey, Guy dwelling on his BFF Sammy Hagar and Donkey Sauce, or Giada’s over-pronunciation of every Italian ingredient.

So she was Rouge One!

Take a holiday trip. On the train in a sleeper car. You can be alone when you want or meet people in the dining, lounge or observation cars. It is a humanizing experience, as opposed to air travel. And a lot easier and less lonely than traveling to Point Nemo. Your destination could depend on where you start, how much…

They should kill two birds with one stone and use potential jurors as a test audience. I’m sure they would be happy to have something to do, while waiting to find out if they will be selected to serve.

balsamic is good, but for this application, you might someday want to try a chinkiang black vinegar. i use it straight up as a dumpling/potsticker dipping sauce, but it would go well in the sauce you describe.

Rice vinegar works great, too - we just happen to always have (lots of) balsamic vinegar around so use it most often. The mirin, as well, is replaced by Shaoxing rice wine when we are in the mood and have it around - mirin (as we buy it) is essentially sweetened/salted rice wine anyway so THAT substitution isn’t a…

You don’t put them both in at the same time. Generally, I use a about a tablespoon of hot oil to fry the bottoms for a few minutes, then I turn them on each side for a bout a minute each, and finally turn them up-right again, turn down the heat, and add about 2 tablespoons of water before I place a lid over it for…

Only if you fully heat up the oil first then add the water. Add both before you add heat = no problemo - kitchen basics. 

This is almost the way we always cook potstickers/dumplings.

This is literally the directions on the back of every frozen bag of pot-stickers I’ve bought.

Hardcore Henry is awesome and miles ahead from perennial io9 recommendations like Snowpiercer and Interstellar.

They’re wrong though. It’s literally the most comic book series on TV. You do kind of have to appreciate everything from camp ‘60s Batman to Burton Gothic/Art Deco Batman to Nolan darker Batman to really enjoy it; because it’s an amazing pastiche of all of them:)

This isn’t blackface, though. Blackface is about using black makeup to portray a rather negative image of colored people. Maui’s costume is about letting kid’s look like a freaking shapeshifting demi-god that happens to include awesome skin tattoos.

Except that this isn’t “racist blackface.” It’s entirely divorced from the tradition, tropes, intent, meaning, methods, and practices of blackface that makes it so shameful.

That entire Superman/Jesus parallel just seems incredibly forced.

I remember my teenage self being impressed at the 1980 version.

We hear a lot about “personal responsibility” when it comes to rape victims as well. Somehow, rapists never have a responsibility not to rape, but rape victims are always entirely responsible for avoiding getting themselves raped. And drunk rapists aren’t responsible for their actions because of the alcohol, but drunk…

Tough for parents to teach these things to their kids when a majority of parents (people in general) have no idea how to communicate themselves.
