Hell, I watched and enjoyed Season 1, and thought Season 2 was a huge improvement.

Thanks a lot, Franklin Roosevelt!

Yeah, sounds great. 

Yes, Mattel was there and did that. 

It is a very fun movie and a worthy addition to the Coens’ oeuvre, but it is nowhere near as good as its most rabid fans think it is. Hey, that’s fandom for ya!

Yes! I just stumbled across her stuff last week and I’m all the way in.

Service industry folks deserve WAY more than they get, for sure. I’ve never worked food service, or really any tipped position, but I am a habitual over-tipper. I’ve just seen folks quibbling over whether to add anything to the built in service fee/gratuity, and most don’t. But, yeah, you know better than I do what…

McDonald’s, in particular, beared the brunt of the controversy

Oh, yeah, I’m not advocating for doing away with tipping, or even tipped wages. I’m just saying I’d rather see wage increases (even for the lower “tipped wage”) instead of a convoluted scheme of mandatory service fees (which I imagine would also result in a reduction in tips over time.)

I’m all for restaurant employees getting paid, but I’d rather see restaurants just give their employees a raise, and then raise the price of everything on the menu to cover the gap. I know that’s a bit of a “I prefer six to half-a-dozen” kinda situation, but giving the employee a raise at least has a chance to last…

More like poorsight. 15th & Shelby was about all my roommate and I could afford right out of college. The (future) wife and I hopped to the other side of the river in 2004, but we’ve been back in Inglewood since 2009 (where, once again, we could actually afford to buy a house.) It’s definitely home by now.

I will watch 30 minutes of trailers with a song in my heart. It’s the non-trailer commercials that bum me out. Look, I’ve been mad about it for 20 years!

What if they’re just a business that’s struggled to make ends meet through a decade of competition with streaming services, only to have their businesses essentially shuttered for two years due to a global pandemic, and they are trying to to shore up financial reserves in order to be able to continue to provide an…

Sorry, have theaters not been doing this for years? I know Regal started testing it out in 2017 . . .

Parents’ groups complained about everything back then

For me, it’s how he constantly harps on the idea that “Marvel movies are killing cinema” and yet somehow fails to bring that up when interviewing actor after actor who have starred in multiple comic book movie franchises. A little bit cowardice, a little bit hypocrisy, all shitty.

I did actually have a friend who was picked on because of her looks in middle school and was, unequivocally, the hottest girl in school by senior year, but no, she wasn’t there. She’s not a model now, but would you settle for jet-setting entertainment lawyer?

David Rees’ Get Your War On kept a lot us sane in those early, bewildering days of the Bush & Cheney’s oil wars. It was reassuring to know that, no, it’s not just us, other people think that this shit is insane.

Seconded. Nothing in that quote should be interpreted as applying to the future of Hiddleston playing Loki, unless you were wondering if maybe he’d always played Loki, and always would until the end of time, in which case, sorry, yeah, he probably will stop playing Loki at some point prior to his death.

Hyperbole is a rhetorical tool that us humans use when joshing around on the internet, but don’t worry, it’s only half of Americans that read at 6th grade or below, and as many as 14% that are functionally illiterate.
