I’ve watched two episodes.

“Check out the TikTok tag”

prediction: Nixon will be an unseen character in this project. They’ll show shots of him from the back 3/4 or out of focus in the distance. We’ll hear his voice from the other room occasionally but never see him.

One needs to hang around a mall movie theater in southern California. Burbank, Studio City, Glendale, Hollywood and other similar locations. Eventually, some afternoon, someone will accost you and offer you free tickets to a movie that starts in 30 minutes. They won’t tell you what it is or what it’s about. You’ll see…

you are correct. it was LL Cool J.

I don’t doubt AT ALL that many comment cards from film focus groups have these exact phrases.

“six seasons of *Nailed It!*”

That’s a bummer to hear. It had great fish sandwiches when I lived there around 2011-2012

A ‘premium’ combo at McDonald’s (QP, filet o fish, 10 pc nugget) go for juuuust about $10, give or take a buck, depending on local taxes, etc. If you’re in NYC, that might be considerably more. If you’re in rural TX, it might be a little less. That seems about right to me. If I’m eating something that filling for less…

It probably is. The other half is probably salt and MSG. But this is one of those things where even though its objectively awful, familiarity = appeal.

Spaghettios from the can were a revelation to my teenage self. Old enough to cook for myself but *lazy* enough to not want to do dishes, I first discovered that no one would shoot you if you ate your mac ‘n cheese straight from the pot. Realizing that Spaghettios tasted more or less identical weather they were hot or…

I don’t think there IS an equivalent. The closest I can think is someone like Michel Gondry or Jean-Pierre Jeunet. But frankly, the idea of a Batman movie from either of them seems like a hot mess, with emphasis on the mess.

As long as they work in that Danny Rand was taken back to his home planet or something.

> law enforcement/intelligence agencies have traditionally wanted to ban or cripple cryptography on the grounds that terrorists and child molesters use cryptography.

There’s a reason they were called ‘Banana Republics’

Funny that we can get away with the ‘for decoration only’ loophole here, but they can’t elsewhere:

“Samoans are thick and delicious”

I SO SO SO miss Salerno mint cremes. Kept in the fridge (or freezer) the mint filling was hard and crackable, rather than soft and mushy, and they were the BEST. I haven’t seen them on store shelves in decades, and assumed they stopped making them.

sprinkles, aka jimmies, are essential in at least one food item: the jewish deli sprinkle cookie. Usually a variation on butter or spritz cookies, they are HEAVILY coated in sprinkles, and the slightly waxy, slightly crunchy texture acts like a shell over a tender, crumbly cookie.

Well, Mila Kunis DID say she always liked dogs...
