He directed and co-wrote Spotlight, too, which makes this current foray into seemingly sleazy tabloid bullshit even more surprising—at least for me, anyway.

Forget it, igotlickfootagain, it’s BarsantiTown.

And why does this kid always look like she’s been up for five days?

That’s awesome. I’m sure that Bob appreciates David’s support while the former is in the hospital. David sure did when the tables were turned.

This is Disney, one of the most powerful entertainment companies in the history of the world, reacting to a lawsuit from a woman who—up until today—was one of its most bankable stars.

I like both chili cheese coneys and cherry limeades, but then again I’m half roughneck, half pansy-man.

Well, I probably did, too, to be honest. Fisher was my first and still deepest celebrity crush.

Yep! As Patton Oswalt once said, Marcia Lucas was ten times the filmmaker that George was. Editors have been the largely unsung heroes of a lot of film history.

On the VHS box set of the OT that was released in the 90s, there is this three-part interview that Lucas did with an especially credulous (even for him) Leonard Maltin. Maltin just serves up one softball question after another about how impressive it is that Lucas had everything worked out. Lucas himself is rare form.…

Thanks for the catch. I was typing on a phone in the wonderful late July Missouri sun. I caught a few other mistakes and typos—like Aunt Baru autocorrected to Aunt Mary—but I missed that one.

It wasn’t just the advertising. Watch ANH again; Luke is totally written as having the hots for Leia. When R2 stops playing the hologram message intended for Obi Wan, Luke goes wampa-shit insane. He acts like Leia is the only human female other than Aunt Beru that he’s ever seen.

Honestly, if your natural disposition is to wallow in your own filth and you can find romance with someone else who also has the default setting of wallowing in filth and you don’t mind each other’s filth, what’s the harm? The Pigpens of the world need love, too.

Hey! I’m responding to your question about Columbia from the thread on the Lake of the Ozarks article. Sorry to have to do it here; I can see your comment in my notifications, but not in the thread, itself. Kinja gets really wonky now once a certain number of comments is exceeded.

I teach college English, and a student in another class that meets in the same room as one of my classes this summer just tested positive for the delta variant the week before last. I found out about it not from anyone in the college’s administration, but instead from one of my students who was also in the other…

I live a little over an hour away—in Columbia, Missouri, a blue oasis in a sea of red between St. Louis and Kansas City. I can tell you first hand that if you’re awarding Lake of the Ozarks “America’s Hellhole Of The Season”, you can go ahead and make that award out to the entire state. Everything the Politico piece…

This isn’t the first conspicuously fawning PR piece for Hilton on AVC, either. There have been a couple of other recent ones. It’s gross.

To learn more methods of drawing turkeys the artists would have had to give of themselves to the Great Red Ape. Sexually.

Jackie, Sr. was an interesting character—what little we got of him season 1. Jackie, Jr. was—for me, anyway—one of those characters that you love to hate that borders on being just plain annoying. I was happy to see him get whacked.

I just watched the ATHF episodes with Turkatron and I thought for sure R&M were making an homage to it. There’s probably only so many ways to draw giant turkeys, though. 

Ask Bruce to write a song about what happened to the Russian.
