A loooot of that is stuff chopped from the end of ADwD, though, so…that's how the conspiracy can exist. Not that I necessarily believe it, but there's the slimmest of possibilities.

Awwww, it's too bad he didn't like Abominable. That movie's still probably the best straight-to-SyFy Channel movie I've ever seen, and that's by a country mile. Surprisingly solid little monster movie (and directed by Lalo Schifrin's son!).

OH MY GOSH, I would kill for that.

I'm pretty sure this is one of those "of a certain age" movies. Like, you have to have been between 11 and 13 when you first watched it to enjoy it. If you're at any other age, it's pretty garbage.

I mean, Jimmy's apology is Jimmy saying "Hey, Chuck, this is what you SHOULD be saying to me, but you won't because you're a gigantic piece of dogmeat who might be legally in the right is morally a piece of scum". So it's not just laying it on thick, it's also chewing Chuck out (if Chuck got it, which I doubt).

Thank all that's holy.

Haven't done this in a while…

So Pete is a great choice from Mad Men…but my other favorite is Harry Crane. SUCH a piece of crap, SO awesome, anyways.

It's a surprisingly good book, too. The recent choose-your-own-adventure issue was absolutely excellent.

From what I remember, the Dredd guys heard the concept of The Raid, and then decided it would be awesome for a Judge Dredd movie, then made it.

But Evans just looks like everything smells bad to him all the time. I can keep a straight face with Jackman, at least.

The John Wick movies are seriously stunningly good action movies.

Movies: Watched Get Out. It was just magic. Such a great, great horror movie, one that has some added weight due to events.

Oh, man, absolutely agree with Weezer, though for me, it was The Green Album. Nothing hit the heights of Blue Album and Pinkerton for me after that.

It's not the Kickstarter version, is why.

It's totally fine to read one without the other. I read the first issue of Kingpin last week, and that was pretty solid, actually.

Books: I finished Marisha Pessl's Night Film, and…woooooow, eff this book and its cop-out ending and its garbage attempts at "soul-shaking" horror that really just sound pedestrian.

Re: Lone Wolf & Cub: evvverybody wants to be official executioner, because it's basically carte blanche to act in the shogun's name (I haven't watched the movie in a while, so I can't remember how much of the power structure gets explained, so here goes…) There are three main branches of enforcement for the shogun:…

I mean…it's life? I can't think of a single retail place I go to that doesn't have some sort of sign-up for something at the registers. Sometimes, like with B&N (where I work), there's active selling/asking, while other places it's not quite as in-your-face. It's always struck me as another form of impulse-buying.

The problem with the "any publicity is good publicity" mindset, though, is that eventually you become a laughing stock because you're protesting an effing miniatures game that only people who are going to laugh at you pay attention to.
