I like Solo well enough, and in Ron Howard’s defense, what he’s bringing to it is not what’s wrong with it. The performances are solid, the action is decently executed, and it has a consistent tone without being stagnant or oppressive. It comes down to Lawrence Kasdan getting overly protective and precious about that…

I have never understood some people’s extreme dislike for this guy. He had nothing to do with Family Guy turning into a pile of bigoted, unfunny dogshit.

Dave gets overlooked with how good he was on Newsradio.

For me, it’s something about a morning-drive rock deejay dutifully broadcasting into the void, with no one possibly listening, as the last few drops of fuel in his generator are spent, that gets me. Maybe it’s because in the same situation, WNYX’s Dave Nelson would be broadcasting news into the wasteland, with…

It all comes down to his face. I have to hand it to Foley--his face drops into such utter despair whenever the song is on and he’s just staring off. It lends the thing a whole other level that is so depressing and also so perfectly Kids in the Hall.

this was the best thing abut Andy Dwyer/Chris Pratt.

Don’t buy Manuka Honey unless you really need it for medical purposes. The price doesn’t need to be driven up because of trendy foodies.

It doesn’t work. The kind of pollen that causes allergies isn’t what bees are gathering — it’s not flowers, it’s grasses and stuff. Also most honey just doesn’t have enough pollen left over to inoculate you against allergens.

Always buy local honey if you are mitigating allergies.

Yes, it is a pyramid scheme.

Ah, but under the terms of the “smart contract” that the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs use, whoever holds the NFT actually does have the IP rights for that particular Bored Ape! The means by which it got into any particular wallet are immaterial. “Code Is Law” working exactly as designed.

The way she played that scene as Steve professed his love was so perfect.

Wait until the show is out before we start backseat writing?

Why not both? This is the future,  old man!  (Im 49)

This is going to be interesting: friends on the crew tell me this show is dire and just not funny, entirely gambling on nostalgia (for the prior show, not the ‘90s). It’s also pretty expensive for Netflix.

Give her someone to be with if it advances the story, don’t just throw in a romance subplot for the sake of having a romance subplot.

Is this all some sort of bizarre performance art or is everyone involved really this fucking dumb?

The fact that they have cocks means they aren’t women. Objectively.

I agree, a better comic could take the subject matter and actually say something funny and interesting. In the Carlin doc he does a pretty extensive bit about how any topic can be funny. It’s not that the topic is off limits but you can only cross that line if it’s funny.  Neither of these guys has an interesting take…

In a truly democratic society being offended by something someone said is absolutely normal. That is the meaning of free speech, it might not be the speech you want to hear but in a democratic society that’s what happens. There is no ‘safe places’ in a free speech society. Who is to decide what’s right and what’s…
