I know, right? I’m a Laker fan, I know I watched those games, and even I’m having trouble wrapping my head around that idea.

I’m willing to bet there’s a whole bunch, but it’s like being in politics — you’re not “allowed” to actually acknowledge it.

what kind of monster would do such a thing

Yeah, I think I’ll be more curious to see what kind of chances exist for Jordan Peele if his next movie doesn’t do well. That’s the real test, the number of “chances.”

Yes, I’m having a good laugh at “The REAL problem is not the prevalence of guns, or the accessibility, it’s that Obama forced people to buy MORE guns by existing, and as a result guns have found their way into the hands of the mentally ill.” Just think, if Obama had never been elected, no school shootings!

Yeah, seriously, this was confusing — like, did I black out for a few years during which Quentin Tarantino put out a bunch of bad movies? Because last I heard he was still a fairly acclaimed director who put out movies people were excited about and generally got good reviews.

I’m reasonably certain that this is how his Andrew Jackson fetish started, too: Bannon probably made a reference to Andrew Jackson to pump him up, or called him “the new Andrew Jackson,” or something, and Trump grabbed onto it and will never let go.

Good luck with that. San Diego is largely conservative and Eric Garcetti’s only real concern is getting elected to a higher office, so he’ll only do the bare minimum while smiling and talking about “California values (pleasemakemegovernor).”

Yeah, they either need to ditch the draft entirely (lol) or stop the lottery and just do a rotating draft order or something if they want to eliminate tanking entirely. But of course they don’t, they just want Cuban, the 76ers, whomever else to stop being so brazen in talking about it.

So the supplements that Alex Jones hawks make you redder, and hairier, and cause you to suck in your gut a little more?

Um... I love Coppola’s absurd, overblown Dracula as much as the next guy, but Best Picture? I mean... the movie is all over the place, and I’m still convinced that Coppola was so focused on the sets and the in-camera effects that he didn’t bother directing the actors (which is why performances are so all over the…

I mean, you should’ve known what you were getting into when you saw the byline, to be fair.

Yeah, being the same player but on worse teams before Boston was a mirage, it was definitely all that sage white boy.

I really enjoyed CI on par with the Original up until season 6, when it switched to USA and the filming style changed and the editing got CSI’d up and they started delving into Bobby’s Deep Dark Past instead of just hinting at it here and there. But those first five seasons, with Deakins and Carver, I can’t get enough…

Bahahahaha of course The Pirates — knew it as soon as I saw the headline. I mean, I knew in my heart of hearts that that brief string of 90+ win seasons was just an aberrant smokescreen borne of luck and a desire to pretend that the team had competitive aspirations so that Nutting could go right back to lining his…

Cosign — Kanopy is great.

Have you checked out his work in the Abel Ferrara flicks he’s been doing? He’s brilliant in Pasolini and 4:44 Last Day on Earth. Hell, Ferrara’s “fuck it, I live in Europe now” period has been great all around.

Definitely ready for Get Out to be robbed of Best Picture so that future editions of Trivial Pursuit can trip up players with the question, “Which movie won Best Picture at the 2018 Oscars?” (no one will remember the actual winner).

I’m gonna be that guy, just for a sec: there is some good stuff in Iron Man 2, and somewhere there’s a universe where Mickey Rourke’s character was given time to do stuff, and the movie didn’t stop dead for a half-hour Avengers ad.

Didn’t he also bring both his wife and mistress on a vacation once?
