I've never watched the Sopranos, but I love some awkward posthumous CGI, so I looked up that clip on Youtube. It was ballsy to frame the shots that way, in full light, and (at least on a little windowed Youtube player) it doesn't look awful, but something really feels "off." I don't think the face is perfectly

Fact: The word "dildo" is funny 100% of the time.

Now I'm just waiting for the headline "Anthony Weiner Undergoes Experimental Surgery, Now Has Two Dicks."

The first twenty minutes were great! But then came all those other minutes… hundreds of them.

I appreciate that someone has that much concern about the other guy from Ripley's Believe it or Not and the amount of vacation he had. I also like that anyone has such a strong opinion of Ripley, who is apparently a person (I always assumed it was the name of a publishing company).

There's probably a two- or three-person team at Sega of America tasked with handling the Sonic fanbase, and Sega of Japan probably has a term for them that translates to "death's waiting room."

That should be part of the promotion for the Genesis throwback machine: "Play a finished, well designed Sonic game!"

You know, I only just heard that Trump is over 6 feet tall. Based on his character and his proportions I always assumed him to be kind of a gnomish half-man, likely covered in scales. Given the well-described advantages tall men enjoy in society, can you imagine how much bullshit we might have averted if he were

They'll all be counted as president, but sadly the odds of an impeachment for Trump are not great, which makes the odds of repeated impeachments (of mainstream Republicans, no less) absolutely nil.

I was lukewarm on the new MST3K, but their dissection of that "clock / temperature / guy sleeping" montage was wonderful, and "Every Country Has a Monster" has been stuck in my head for weeks.

I actually can't believe that they used the name "Sesame Street" rather than a parody when the centerpiece joke is about being seduced on the casting couch by a felt puppet.

The world is teeming with talented people. Most people are good at something, but most of us don't do what we're good at on TV. Which is to say that talent is meaningless - it's a word we use to transform our best qualities into a commodity that can be bought and sold. Many people, whether using their god given

When I was a teenager the presence of 90s metal and "alternative" like Smashing Pumpkins, Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, and Marilyn Manson really made my friends and I feel like it was "our" movie. (I assume those band were so popular that only a well-budgeted movie with a good music producer could afford them, but

Dance of the Dream Man has bassline that doesn't line up with the melody, and the melody is an improvised (or I guess written as improvisation) saxophone solo. Learning four pages of it is a feat.

There's a long tradition in modern music of that kind of thing, going back to scribbling on magnetic tape and (IIRC) punching images into piano rolls. So you were participating in modern art. With Mastertracks.

Funny, Google described my drawing of dignity as "worthy of Webster's."

My brother has an elderly coworker who is being paid a very large salary for very little work because he's the only person who understands how some of the equipment and processes at the company work.
