Urgh, I hated that.

I loved this movie, and watched all the sequels (but for the latest, i suppose). But I'll never love the sequels for two reasons:
1. FUCKING SHAKY CAM. One of the delights of the Bourne Identity was how clear those clean and surgical fight scenes were. Take the example above, with the cops. That would not have been…

I think you make a good point. I also think the whole thing is made worse by the fact that they aren't using their extended run time to fit in more plot or characters or world building. They mostly seem to use it to have multiple thirty minute action set pieces. And that's just too much and too boring.

It can be two things!

Though it's so much fun to be a bystander.

I'm pretty sure that's Thiel, or is that actually Musk?

The real question is maybe he can convince Peter Thiel (who Trump I think is more likely to listen to) to take a similar position..

I had two problems with the finale as a whole:
1. It burdens the characters with too much to ever reasonably come back from for a show that at least as been making gestures towards showing the effects of trauma and grief
2. The resolution okay, look, I really have an issue with the number of shows that create…

My mother said they played that on their reunion tour. I remember listening it to when I was 20 or so and promising myself I'd make a point to look it up again when I was 70.

Hmmm…a lot of their songs would be pretty good titles. Dibs on A Most Peculiar Man.

Alas, but does that work if it's called the 59th Street Bridge Song

I've come around to thinking that basically the biggest problem in Spider-Man 3 (though admittedly, one of many) was that it's really hard to satirize the actual movie you're making and have it work.

I have always regretted any time I've walked into a Best Buy. I've been in there to browse laptops on occasion and I kind of felt like I needed a crucifix to ward off the idiot salespeople who don't know what they're talking about and who had me pegged as a sucker.

It's super weird to go to to the giant malls in London, because they are like, christmas-eve busy on any random weekday afternoon, whereas the malls I know are pretty lightly trafficked these days.

I sometimes wonder if this is a common thing among mattress stores. There's one in my hometown that my mom is also convinced is a front for something, because they've got a really small stock, all of which is ridiculously overpriced, and no customers.

What I've heard (okay, admittedly from old fogeys like my dad) is that back in the day, Radio Shack was actually a pretty good place for electronic (and radio) hobbyists, and not a completely useless overpriced waste of space. But they basically thumbed their nose at their old base in order to become something more…

Let's go full on damnatio memoriae

Honestly, I read somewhere that an analysis of his speech from twenty years ago and today shows a kind of unnerving decline.

Are you sure you're allowed on the internet? I'm pretty sure there was a ban passed on being a reasonable, decent human being.

On the one hand: Fox News. On the other: they are all reporters and despite the party line, reporters generally are against being body slammed.
