If this is the kind of thing that gets people going, we are doomed.

“...del Toro’s first foray into television”? That’s just dumb.

I don’t know if she’s lying but the whole thing seems stagey and fake.

Rob Schneider’s suddenly credible here when he can contribute to the AV Club’s Bill Murray take down efforts.

Dental school programs are frequently cited as sources of free or inexpensive dental care in articles like this. The reality is quite different. Free dental care is rare. Many dental school clinics are open one day a week on a first-come, first-serve basis. Even then, they offer limited services. If you want to get a…

A typical Pixar film does not contain a single hand-drawn frame and is eligible for animated feature awards.

Comedy Central has been on life-support for years. It only exists to hold a slot on basic cable boxes, a rapidly diminishing business model.

The idea is the big head nod shuts THEM up. I think the nod works like you’re giving them an exclamation point for their sentence. Gesturing wildly with your hands likely has the same result but it might seem a bit ambivalent.

Adam McKay likes to remind us all how stupid we are.

Here’s a Jedi mind trick I read about years ago that I SWEAR works like a charm: You are in conversation with someone who just won’t let you get a word in edgewise. You NOD EMPHATICALLY THREE TIMES and it stops them in their tracks. Maybe it’s mumbo-jumbo that gives me the confidence to interrupt a blow hard but it…

Meh. (Maybe I listened to “Undisclosed” and was not particularly convinced.)

I went in giving it the benefit of the doubt after months of the usual outraged outcry from online fanboys. But this is a terrible, terrible film. I’m also loathe to join the ruckus of aforementioned fanboys who tend to single out female performers but while the two male leads do a decent job with such utterly shoddy…

I think drugs/alcohol and mental health issues are evident in the majority of homeless people you encounter on the street in New York or L.A. That’s probably 35% (vs. 65% in shelters, depending on the stats you look at.)

You are pretty confident in your telepathic abilities.

While “housing supply, rising rents, and stagnant wages” may be responsible for homelessness, leaving substance abuse, it’s pretty weird to leave out substance-abuse, addiction and lack of access to mental health care.

This article really screams spin. I liked “Avatar” well enough but it’s laughable to suggest it has anything near the cultural resonance of even the worst Marvel or Star Wars output. See also: “Titanic”.

I did the same thing with a plate. The problem was the egg “wrap” wasn’t very wrap-able. It broke apart when I tried to roll it up with a thin slice of ham. I tried a second round with a bit less cooking time aiming for something a bit more flexible. It was a bit more flexible but it was basically an omelette. It was…

Invoking Joe Pesci is not going to challenge my beliefs much. But whatever, that’s cool. Sometimes prosecutors do a shoddy job but still manage to convict a guilty person.

Every iteration of this tale left me thinking he was guilty. Maybe he got a shoddy trial. If that’s enough to cut him loose, I guess that’s the way it works. You could probably argue that O.J. had a shoddy trial. He was guilty too.

The elephant in the room is some of the people you see wearing masks are infected with Covid and think it’s OK to resume normal activities if they wear a mask. (Obviously Bill Hader was tested but don’t be so sure about the person next to you in line at Dunkin’).
