They really need to go out and follow Sons of Anarchy’s lead and start selling Jameson juice boxes.

I have never seen a textured/popcorn wall before. Ceilings, yes, but walls?

Now, if they want to go back to the original Monopoly game and do a Verhoeven-style satire of capitalism and landlording, I’d be on board for that.

If you need to do repairs, matching the texture is such a pain in the ass. We had a minor roof leak and water blistered the paint from behind. Without texture it would have been an easy fix — scrape off the paint, smooth in a little joint compound, then repaint.

Gotta update it for the modern age.

studio execs vs fans:

Honestly, Clue is the best boardgame to adapt, as it’s actually based on a story (or genre of story) with a real plot. And it’s easy to see people going in multiple directions with the basic premise. My only concern is so many of these being done so close together.

Our house was built in the ‘40s and has (very!) hard batten and plaster walls. They’re also nowhere near flat and smooth. We used texture on them when we were remodeling, because it really helps cover up how uneven the original plaster surface is. Putting up dry wall, or—heaven forbid—re-plastering them, was…

Textured walls these days are probably flippers covering a shitty, rushed drywall job.  I know ours was.

You can’t beat Beyond Meat. 

Pretty much my thought’s on all these plant based meat things.  Like if you want a hamburger, you want a HAMBURGER, not something hamburger like.  I think it might be better to move towards tasty meat alternatives that aren’t trying to be meat.

Personally, it’s okay. Texture and taste aren’t too far off.

does anyone know a flexitarian? I’ve never met one.

the typical burger consumer is offended by the idea of fake meat, and as such choose not to purchase. it sounds unappetizing, too. wonder why it is such a failure, trying to capture a demographic that doesn’t exist

The jerky is by far the best Beyond product.

Most people who have read that book would probably agree with your sentiment. Especially reading it after seeing the film.

Don’t forget huge schlong and a starlet who had to be beaten by her husband into having PIV sex because she loved oral so much!

That vaginoplasty business was extremely disturbing to a teen girl with an early feminist disposition. What better way to dramatize the problem of Sonny’s huge dick?

...and then Olivier told me “Try acting” or some shit like that!

The AV Club could just re-decorate decades of old showbiz stories. Even easier than copying stories from Deadline.

Next you’re going to tell me that Marlon Brando wasn’t the studio’s first choice for Vito, Coppola wasn’t their first choice to direct, the studio didn’t want it to be a period piece, and the novel had a subplot about vaginoplasty!
