I mean, there’s a time for steaks, and some places, that really IS where you want to eat. I know if I ever manage to drag my ass to NYC, you can bet I’m gonna spring for Peter Luger one night.

Just as with most UK accents, there’s no one ‘English’ or ‘Scottish’ accent, and how you speak will differ radically depending on where you were born/lived, which school(s) you attended, and what your ultimate ‘station’ in life was. I had a Scottish coworker with a very posh accent and just the lightest touch of burr,…

Because Justified was one of the best things on TV when it aired and holds up incredibly well, because Olyphant has shown himself to be an excellent performer with both dramatic and (underappreciated) comedic chops (*Santa Clarita Diet*!!!), because Elmore Leonard’s work seems to adapt to a visual medium VERY well…

Because he comes across as yet another moderately funny young white guy that seems to fall into success (and the occasional super hot lady celebrity). Now, what his actual work ethic is, whether he’s a total sweetheart or a raging douchebag in real life, I have no idea. But there are about a bazillion folks who look…

They’re topped with cracked up candy canes, if that helps at all.

tell me how else to know how much peppermint extract to put in my brownie bites, and we can talk. ‘til then, I am tasting raw batter and will live with the consequences.

Well, the STORY, yes, is interesting. The music... well...

I don’t recall Abe’s. But yeah. Shit’s spooky. Drop me a DM one of these days.

Chumbawumba actually really IS an interesting story. Super political, almost Billy-Bragg-like band that accidentally scored a frat-boy party hit and used the $$ to actually... do politics!

The ‘owner’ is no longer the owner, and hasn’t been since he got all het up about the n-word on a conference call a while back, and got booted by the board. Since then, he’s been engaged in various pursuits: a- railing against the current board of Papa Johns and vowing his revenge. b- decorating his horrible McMansion…

On the one hand: It would shock no one to learn that Denzel can be a huge dick. The man’s a tremendously wealthy superstar. Even if it’s just a product of being professionally ‘on’ 24/7, elite tier celebs are ‘not like us’.

If I had even the *slightest* interest in sports that might have been enough to persuade me.

Shit, if you got Tobias and Tasha Robinson and Dowd and Rife and maybe Rabin would pop in now and then? I might actually put money to that.

“The numbers say this is a 4 quarter pic and if we spend $35mil + marketing we should have a solid $3-400mil b.o. We have X, Y, and Z for leads. Standard action something or other. Lady spies? Who give’s a shit? Who’s free than can get this out on time and on budget and won’t give me any grief?”

Tobias et al tried that with The Dissolve, which I think was funded by Pitchfork. It ran a year or so and tanked. Ad supported didn’t generate the right clicks. Bummer, too because they were doing really good work.

There is no way I am going out of my way for a single taco, and even at my stoneriest (stoniest? stonerest?) I don’t want to eat at Taco Bell multiple times a week. I suspect I’d make it about 4 days before not being able to leave my bathroom for 24 hours or more.

Yes.. yes... half-bloods... mudbloods... sure it’s anti-RACIST. But mostly, it’s hamfisted anti-CLASSIST. And specifically anti-British/UK-brand-classism, which is is VERY specific.

There’s no way someone like Dale wouldn’t have gone from eccentric to toxic without a serious change of character. Then again, having Dale go into therapy, become newly woke and swing wildly to the left could have been interesting....

... and that’s what I appreciates about you, Miss Caffeine Spiders.
