From what I know of the industry (I used to work in beer), a lot of people like the subtler taste and lack of aftertaste of a light beer. It’s a beer they can have with dinner that tastes like a beer but doesn’t really compete with the flavor of the food.

Having finally gotten caught up, I still think that the biggest problem with the Tench family household is that Brian is a non-character. Not that I want to see a child actor going through the motions of being the creepy neighborhood predator or anything like that, but there’s only so much we can get of Bill and Nancy…

He’s not out of his depth with the profiling, but he’s out of his depth with the investigation itself. He thinks he’s smart enough to solve this from his armchair, Mycroft Holmes-style, and perhaps he is. But it’s not a game show, it’s a police investigation, and constantly sneering and rolling his eyes at the larger…

If I were Bill, I’d be afraid that the moment Holden found out he’d start trying to explain Brian clinically (in other words, profiling him) in an insensitive attempt to help Bill deal with all this.

Wait, they’re getting rid of the XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito? Oh, I’m not looking forward to my roommate’s tantrum over that one. It’s like the only thing he’ll eat from there, and Taco Bell is his go-to if he wants fast food.

I’m not a binger, so I’ve only just gotten around to watching this episode (and this is the farthest I’ve gotten, so careful with spoilers if you reply) and I think the biggest issue with the Brian plot is that he’s such a non-entity as a character. I think this season we’ve had as many shots of him asleep as there’ve…

I wanna say it was omelettes. But then, this was a high school cooking class, and we started with a whole unit on egg dishes.

Not as a ‘thing,’ to the best of my knowledge. My friend would just try to find ways to combine DS9 and “Thong Song” references because of the name similarity. He thought it was clever 20 years ago... and then for a few years after that, because he’s got a terrible sense of humor and thinks busting out a joke that was…

I was in my senior year of high school when the movie came out, and my strongest memory of Phantom Menace is a couple of friends of mine who skipped school to stand in line for hours in a steady drizzle of rain. One friend had just bought a new pair of green shoes that soaked through and effectively dyed his feet. I…

Malory, realizing the limits of her crew’s ability to solve space-based existential mysteries: “So those are our only two options? Ghosts or magnets?”

Sodexo, actually. Just a few months ago they took over dining services for the local university, and it’s been an absolute nightmare for people I know who were working there. A lot of the employees who didn’t immediately jump ship have quit in that short amount of time, except for a few of those who still have benefits…

You wanna hear something unnerving, talk to someone who’s had to work for them, like some of my friends.

Dammit, the reviews were taking me from “Holy crap that trailer is great, I have to watch this” to “Hm, maybe wait until it hits Netflix,” and now your post is taking me back to that first thing.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this show kept trying to cram 20+ episodes worth of plot into 13. It didn’t need more seasons, it needed longer ones.

Well, yeah, they should have. Not arguing that.

As a seasonal custom, Halloween has been getting started earlier with each passing year. Go to a big-box store right now, in late July, and you’ll see bags of fun-size candy. Spirit Halloween is already colonizing whichever stores have closed in your area over the last few months.

There’s suspension of disbelief, and then there’s a thumb drive with data that hasn’t been copied anywhere. The trope was hard enough to believe in the analog age, but in the digital age?

Strangely, 29% of customers have also had a driver refuse to bring the food to their door, which is pretty much the entire purpose of these services.

I’d say it’s worth noting that the movie that most cinephiles see as his best is one that’s based on a novel (Jackie Brown), which means there’s simply less room to cram most of his usual BS into it.

For years, Spike Lee criticized his use of the n-word in his scripts, and what did Tarantino do in 2012? He released Django Unchained, a movie about slavery that provides the strongest narrative rationale to use that word. He sure showed us! Tarantino’s treatment of women was repeatedly criticized, and so here, he…
