critics have to watch every movie assigned to them, so they tend to embrace movies that buck their expectations and rate them higher just because at least what they are doing is novel and interesting. its not shocking then that TLJ got a lot of credit from critics for doing exactly that (even if in very superficial…

he dropped a lot of references to his left wing social beliefs into the full letter, so you might be lucky here- he seems like a good egg

given how much water and time it takes to grow almonds, its hard to argue they are environmentally friendly. maybe make it oat milk and that would be a better argument

this is the correct take- either do the subversion or don’t. but they ended up with the worst of both worlds

i think i got them off amazon, but yeah, probably. my 15 month old really liked them though, guess we should get her while she’s young

i tried some roasted crickets with some spice blend on them the other day. they were tasty. kind of pricey though for something that is supposed to be cheap and easy to work with

i assume its because he’s been on an airplane for 14+ hours with a couple of layovers drinking the swill they serve on the plane and probably picking up a fast food cup if anything in an airport. folgers is gross, but i’d still take it over that stuff

man, you people are sick

on one hand, this will make him a bunch of money, being a marvel star and all

on the other hand, everything i have ever heard is that what is required to get your body to look like that is basically 6-12 months of outright misery, so that can’t be fun

xwing alliance is weird- on one hand, its the most modern, easiest to play and obviously best looking on modern hardware. it also has the most ambitious story tie in, which is helpful.

buuuuuuuut, that’s a double edged sword in the actual story mission, because the game relied very, very heavily on strict scripting to…

i bought a cheap (but fine) joystick to play x-wing alliance and tie fighter. both are totally playable! 

that video should just be a guy saying ‘don’t shoot a pistol one handed unless you are tom hanks and its the end of saving private ryan.” its basically pointless

yeah i was just thinking the same thing- i’d completely forgotten the olympic bombing and the controversy with jewell even happened. it also doesn’t seem like a particularly meaty story on its own and eastwood hasn’t shown he has the cops for particularly complicated storytelling in the past few outings

yeah or ‘it costs more to have someone else do the work for you.’ if someone is doing the butchering work for me, i expect it to cost more because i’m paying for their labor. 

what if you’re just kind of ok with christmas? like, it has some stuff i like and some stuff that annoys me but overall i think its fine? where is *my* podcast damnit!

this sounds wild, but i bet you could get far more dangerous stuff at your local hardware store and nobody would bat an eye

wait.... you felt the need to clarify that clancy brown was from shawshank redemption (a relative deep cut these days for him especially on this site) then also gave weirdly descriptive references for Natalia Tena and Mark Boone Jr’s careers.... and then dropped Richard Ayoade without anything? either you have a very…

i tried serving them to my 16 month old child with a wine and cheese pairing and they took my kid away. 0/5 stars, would not recommend

i see it in opinion pieces more than stuff like this, but its not unheard of

its a pretty standard disclaimer. You could be accused of bias if it turns out the person you’re reviewing has worked for the same publication and you may have known them personally. what if april wolfe was a habitual lunch stealer and beatrice finally has her revenge by crapping on her movie?
