Going forward, maybe they’ll follow the Twin Peaks template: a second season that starts off well, but then Donald Glover gets bored and wanders off to do something else while the show meanders through increasingly silly plotlines until Glover remembers that it’s there and he comes back, it starts to return to form,…

Miso soup, absolutely.

Then explain the extra “t,” pal.

This man did NOT commit to his costume.

I had a similar thought: “Romo actually looks more like a hot young coaching prospect more than a franchise QB at this point.”

Likelihood of getting rattled/mistake prone in the playoffs actually seems like a wash of an argument in this particular case.

Ah, okay, so it wasn’t a good pass then.

Can’t agree on AMC; I’d much rather watch the great original Halloween followed by the increasingly ridiculous sequels than a day-long block of “Roughing and Walking Slowly Plus Zombies.” Burneko was right.

“Starblood” and “Adrift” — I want so desperately to hear those songs performed live, but Cranes haven’t been to America since 2002 and seem to be on an indefinite hiatus :(

Came here thinking “I better see fucking Cranes on this list somewhere, especially ‘Starblood’,” and was not disappointed. Fives stars.

I remember a story about how PT Anderson wanted Beatty for the Burt Reynolds role in Boogie Nights, but Beatty refused unless he could play Dirk Diggler.

Agreed. All sports owners have toxic, repulsive politics, some are just more quiet about it than others. Cleveland, on the other had, is parading around a racist symbol after explicitly stating they were going to downplay it. So I’m rooting for the Cubs, and also for Ricketts to go bankrupt.

Counterpoint: a lot of times I defer to the person who’s already waiting, only to learn that that person did not bother to push the button at all, in which case the light doesn’t change. This has happened enough that I always make sure to push the button, even if it makes me seem like a dick, just in case.

This. I always thought the NFL should adopt the college rules, but maybe teams start at the opposing 40 instead of the opposing 25. I think that’s a sight less convoluted than “sudden death unless it’s a field goal, in which case the other team has the opportunity to at least tie, in which case sudden death.”

They don’t need to. No one hires copy editors anymore, they just post articles and wait for commentors to catch errors for them. It’s the publishing version of letting consumers act as beta testers.

I’d argue that On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a Top 3 Bond movie if Connery played the role instead of Lazenby (who’s fine, but Connery is the Bond gold standard).

Well, of course — that’s exactly what’s happening. And that’s where the propaganda steps in, because the Republicans who are opposed to those programs don’t want you to think about that; they want you to think of them as big scary unaccountable bureaucracies that materialize without your input.

It’s the box that the Republicans/Right Wing has been putting itself in for decades. They’re convinced that the vast majority of Americans are very, very conservative (instead of, as logic would dictate, actually rather moderate), and so when they lose a national election they double down and declare that it’s because…

You say this as if Fred Rogers ISN’T a badass.
