my alma mater gets a percentage of the royalties from ‘I’ll be Home for Christmas’ because the guy who wrote it was an alum so it always gives me an extra smile when i hear it in a store

Exactly- in the lyrics it’s clear she is fully into it, but is mostly worried about society considering her a whore for staying over. The ‘what’s in this drink’ line- in context- is her making up an excuse to do what she wants to do and stay with the guy. The depressing part isn’t that this has anything to do with…

The reason ivanka is held to a higher standard has nothing to do with her gender- it’s because she works in the white house as a special advisor to the President. She ostensibly has a portfolio and responsibilities directly related to governance and her husband also has a prominent and official role. The brothers…

sure, but by then you’ll be long dead from doing too much cocaine!

good point- although i think some of those elements are legally troublesome for them. apparently they have to be careful what they take wholesale from top gear. they have to come up with some other hook or party game that they can play though.

i also think that a lot of the audience that enjoy watching them aren’t…

i caught a handful of older top gear episodes and i think the problem with the grand tour was largely that amazon gave them too much money and freedom. a lot of the really great top gears bits came from the ‘buy an eastern european car on CL for 4,000 euro’s and then do a bunch of nonsense until it explodes.’ like…

why would they bother? you’ll make your money back in spades with the cheapest garbage you can churn out as long as its christian based. its not like the people behind this (sony) are some sort of true believers, looking to deliver a great version of a bible story. they want to turn the bible into as much cocaine as…

exactly. its not like- just spit balling here- the catholic church is the one suffering from this issue. only hollywood is both sanctimonious and raping people!

honestly, it was the pitch of a remake of pygmalion aspect and not the name that got me. i always hated it and my fair lady. no interest to revisit that, regardless of the cast or the writers

no, as it was explained in Stargate all planets in the universe look like either a quarry in british colombia, or the forest right behind that quarry. also in british colombia.

Well, the AV club did give the jackass ‘Bad Grandpa’ movie a B-. The whole plot of that film was ‘old people often become socially inappropriate as they age’ which seems to be what we are seeing here

Bravo sir- lots of bites, managed to string several along and still managed to throw a few winks in for those who are not humor impaired

good lord, i did look that up. i was totally wrong on the rocks impact to box office. fair enough.

i remember with ‘return to castle wolfenstein’ my mother was worried that it was too violent. my response was ‘mom, the only violence is against zombies and nazi’s, who can argue with killing either of them?’ and it worked. its a strange world where this is now possibly controversial

the franchise wasn’t dead before they brought in the rock, but it was pretty much going to be direct to streaming. not to say the only reason its a huge global mega franchise is because of the rock.... but without him, it never even gets a chance to take that shot.

aw, i liked the stan lee thing

i’m with you- if i had cords dangling all over the place, someone would break it or get killed. and really, i’ve played a couple of SNES emulators over the years that install on windows, have controller support and do save states that get around the weird ‘you have to pause it if you need to walk away’ situation. this…

what he is creating is called ‘cocaine’

intellectually i can appreciate he was a piece of cultural history. emotionally though, all i can picture him as was the creepy old crypt keeper he’s been for nearly my entire life (certainly entire adult life.) He may be the greatest example of knowing when its time to accept your age and enjoy a quiet retirement.

seal team is half over and i can already say that it is significantly worse than the brave. if the brave was a C, this is a hard F. its not only not significantly better looking, better acted, faster paced- its also much, much less interesting in every aspect.
