Does she explain why the new record doesn’t rise to the level of “mid” or did they run out of biscuits?

Did you think it was anything other than a coincidence? If so, why?

Broadly: Aegon isn’t given a lot of character shading as a deep-thinking planner who would lay a trap for someone...

Specifically: In the scene where the idea is presented to him, it literally seems like if he’d been told “We’re going to take him to…

“I haven’t actually heard a third of the songs on the list, which generally makes it difficult to evaluate covers...”

Is there a reason why you can’t... listen to the originals? Hell, I’d argue that it’s more fun to “evaluate” the cover on its own terms and THEN listen to the original since they’re effectively both new…

Who’s the “she” you’re talking about here?

Fuck you, buddy! Nicole Kidman is right:  We go to that place to experience confusion, hallucinations, other people’s fecal matter, and a host of other things! Because MAGIC!

All that is true, but my 65", 5.1 surround setup still isn’t as good as a theater.

You have a right to your opinion. This is even an opinion I share. But I also recognize that there are plenty of people for which this isn’t true, for a variety of reasons. They don’t love it the way we do. They may have less disposable…

To your point, human behavior in theaters is also a factor for people who love the theatrical experience. I have a better time watching a movie in my own home than I would in the first 2-3 weeks of most releases because Me and Mrs. Munners are both more respectful movie viewers in our own home than the average…

I agree with a lot of what you wrote, but this is your strongest point:

“also, and i’ve beaten this drum a lot, streaming fucked the MARKETING of movies more than anything. you do not see movie trailers during commercial breaks on tv shows anymore.”

I grew up going to movies and LOVING the entire experience. Some of it…

He got run over by a supertractor. I don’t know what you learned from your last experience at urgent care, but disaintdat and datintdis.

I think people are really shitting on Hawkeye and phrasing it as directed at Renner.

“And if you’re condemning whole geographical areas, you have Washington DC right there.”

Even this example doesn’t make sense. If you’re pointing the finger at politicians, most of the people in Washington, DC are not elected officials, employed by them, etc. And many of the elected officials don’t even have secondary…

“Leno with Kevin Eubanks wasn’t so great either.”

To be fair:  Leno with the fucking Beatles wouldn’t have been great. Leno, live from Woodstock, minus all the mud, wouldn’t have been great.

You’ll get them more quickly if you complete them yourself. He’s on to more enjoyable, lucrative, attention-grabbing things now... We’ll be lucky if we get anything other than 10,000 blog posts.

And let’s be honest:  That was disjointed trash. It just so happens that SHE was good in it.

You know what’s the height of candy-assery? Referring to the consumption of media you supposedly like (or get paid to write about) as “homework.” Homework used to be what you had to do before you got to watch TV. Now you guys think watching TV actually IS the homework. That’s why everything sucks. I miss Snapface.
-W.…

I don’t think the actual experience is like what you’re imagining. First, assuming you’re right about “the whole point,” you’re in the middle of the ocean, so you’re definitely “away from the city.” The cruise I took wasn’t on a ship this big, but it was an pretty big RC cruise ship and I also almost never felt like I…

Switching sides to the side that finds him ridiculous and racist? Switching sides to the side that has no interest in his xenophobia? Switching sides to the side that doesn’t live and breathe to validate his every inane pronouncement?

If Ryan Reynolds finds himself in mid-air, do you think he looks down for a shark these days? I really wanna like the guy and I legitimately think his heart is in the right place, but...

“I will eventually watch it, but I know it’s not going to be epic like Fury Road in my view...”

That was you literally saying that you KNEW something about a film you hadn’t seen. Sounds like a conclusion. And a weird one. To be clear, I don’t really give a shit one way or the other where, when, or whether you see it.…

Yeah, it’s crazy to live in a world in which criminal prosecutions by the federal government are initiated after they’ve gathered evidence, produced an indictment, and prepared for a trial. Much better to have a justice department whose approach to criminal charges is the “ready, fire, aim...” method you’re advocating…
