I lost track after that whole retrocon renumbering but I really liked at least one of those things Lucas put out years after the first Star Wars thingees. For the life of me, I could not tell you which one but they had space cars racing around a city and it was really cool.

You are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.

The names in high profile gigs (actors, directors etc.) appear at least trying to be more diverse in the last few years. But the vast behind the scenes population has always been problematic and has not improved.

I can vouch for the Dyson V7. I’ve endured ancient hand-me-down vacuum cleaners, Shop-Vacs, Dustbusters and even a fancy built-in system that had a hose that felt like an Anaconda covered in lead. The Dyson is the only thing that makes me want to vacuum. It’s fun and shiny like candy and comes with all the…

The only difference I noticed between the PG and PG-13 versions of “Josie...” is a sight gag with Tara Reid holding a sign reading “Honk if you like pussy!” :)

Yeah, it was a pretty good joke. I think the AV Club might be reading a bit too much into this.

Piano wire would have been better.

The weird, almost congratulatory tone here doesn’t jibe with the fairly evil task described. On the other hand, I’m not sure if the perpetrator of this stunt deserves to be exposed by name and subjected to the potential hell of anonymous retribution that’s sure to follow.

Not to defend Action Park, but around 40 people die every year skiing.

Various aspects of DC and Marvel comics characters appear to be in danger of losing copyright protection in the coming years. They have been quietly introducing new tropes to their canon for the past few years (and making retroactive deals with the heirs of the original creators in case the rights revert back to them.)

Well, that was one I agreed with. I was eager to see a comprehensive Beastie Boys doc. The stage show aspect was weird and distracting. I would have loved to be in the theater for it but it just didn’t work when it was translated to the TV screen.

Agreed. I got dragged reluctantly to a Carrot Top show years ago. He was hilarious.

Remi Gaillard did this in Paris more than a decade ago.

God, that twitchy, smirky publicist hovering behind Laurie is annoying.

I’m on Goodreads but interact with it only occasionally. I just don’t get why I should feel compelled to abandon it after reading this article. It does not make a very strong case as to why Goodreads needs to be cancelled. My hunch is the shade is rooted in a vague anti-Amazon stance but that’s a hard pill to swallow…

This sounds reasonable to me. But the reality of my own movie going experience usually consists of a bargain matinee in a large theater with a half dozen other customers. I never go near the concessions and buy tickets online. I’m reluctant to go anywhere - even outdoor dining seems like a risk not worth taking. But…

It’s much, much better than a C+. It may be problematic for Dickens’ scholars but it’s an enjoyable, energetic film.

At least as far as our cable provider went, the stereo aspect of MTV was implemented via a kludgy signal splitter that branched off from the coax cable to send a signal to an FM radio on the Hi-Fi. It was pretty magical.

I would care about this if I was 11.

I was there a few times when I was a kid. It was closer than Great Adventure and cheaper. It was also shoddier and low-rent in every way. But everyone I know from those days has an Action Park horror story and some of them have the battle scars to prove it. I know a 50-something woman whose back still looks like it…
