I had my heart set on seeing this and Dune in the theater. This was before it seemed like Delta was gonna fuck everything up. Now... if it was just me, I’d do it. Take a day off, go on a random Tuesday at 11 AM, take my chances the theater will be empty, wear a double mask throughout, and if I get sick, I’m vaccinated…

really? the majority of criticism for marvel movies i see and hear is the exact fact that they basically consistently deliver an assembly line, B’ish experience.

This review is about what I expected based on the trailer. I don’t think Marvel gets enough credit for how consistently high a floor they have for their movies and I think they get way too much credit given how consistently low their ceilings are. The majority of their movies are B-’s or B’s. If I think of ones that…

I’m incredibly excited to watch this and am rooting for this movie to succeed. I’m a big fan of Kim’s Convenience, a big fan of Simu Liu, a big fan of Awkwafina, and a big fan of the MCU telling more diverse stories.

I remember watching an interview with Timothy Simonds from Veep, and he talked about how a lot of the insults he got in the show (and his character was very much the but of jokes and the target of insults) were strictly about the character. But if he saw someone coming out of the writers room, look at him for a minute…

I want to say this was BJ Novak, but I know on Instagram she still purports to be friends with him, so I don’t know.  I think I suspect BJ Novak because that’s exactly the kind of thing Ryan would say, but of course BJ Novak isn’t Ryan.  Or is he?

Once again, he was certainly not the worst guy for the gig.

I’m also guessing they’ve done some backdoor (wink-wink) lobbying of said republicans.

Oh jebus fucking cripes Gossar. So your wife looked at your credit card bill and got pissed, leave the rest of us out of it. In what way is OnlyFans “online prostitution”?

What I can’t wrap my mind around is that in order to make themselves a better investment, they destroyed the part of their business that makes them profitable in the first place. And what is so staggering to me is that I’m certain some investors are still going to see fit dumbing a ton of money in this thing.

this guy wants more Lokis to fuck him.

Couldn’t they have at least just talked to Thanos. Tell him that his plan is a bad idea. That usually works.

Corny as it is, couldn’t help but smile at “Are you crazy?” “No, I’m mad.”

This is one of those things I think about every now and then when I read Savage Love’s roster of people who apparently can only have gratifying sex under extremely narrow conditions: yeah, what are you going to do when you get old? The jerk husband is right about one thing: the market for 50-something guys who aren’t…

Write it on a cake.
Then have sex with the cake.

Pretty subtle, right?

Back in the day when I had a very Internet 1.0 movie review site, it was being sent movies by their makers for review that broke me. I was fine trashing something I paid money for off of a video store shelf; when somebody sent me something they sweated and sacrificed for and it still wasn’t good, I really felt like…

Jay Rayner, the restaurant critic in the UK Guardian, has forsworn negative reviews on the basis that covid has hit the restaurant industry enough. If a restaurant’s bad, he simply doesn’t review it.
