This reminds me of a local spot that’s hosted several restaurants that never seem to last long (one of which was a steakhouse), and there are rumors it’s haunted (something something burial ground). My roommate claims that a decade or so ago, when it was the steakhouse, he went in and felt ‘off’ about it.

Little disappointed that the article leaves out that by his own admission, he didn’t start thinking about how he wanted more compensation until he asked Nirvana to participate in an art show of his and they snubbed him.

He’s also doing the lawsuit for spite. He wanted Nirvana to be part of an art exhibition he was doing and they didn’t fall all over themselves to treat him like he’s their best friend and have someone throw rose petals at his feet.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I kinda wish Thor: Ragnarok had come out before Doctor Strange. Strange’s scene in T:R is just more interesting and fun to watch than 3/4 of his origin story, and I feel like it would have helped if his solo movie had been something of a flashback after we’ve already gotten a…

Yeah, the “warm sake” thing often gets tossed around like it’s some secret foreigners aren’t supposed to know, so you get lots of white Westerners drinking it in an attempt to seem cultured. But even above and beyond “nice in a cold winter,” heating up sake can actually enhance the flavor, but generally only with sake …

I sincerely enjoyed Reboot, myself — it’s not a great movie, or even an especially good one, but as an Elder Millennial who grew up on the View Askewniverse, it felt like I was getting to visit with a bunch of old friends I hadn’t seen in over a decade. Not necessarily friends I’d want to start hanging out with again,…

I remember when Chadwick was first cast as T’Challa, and he remarked that it was funny to him that he so drawn by the MCU’s humorous tone but he himself was being cast as what would likely be the most serious hero in the setting. I can’t help but think that when they wrote this episode, they wanted to give him the…

I mean, even aside the issue of the money boat and the rocking thereof, the first rule of “Your company is actively being sued right now” is “Don’t talk about the effing lawsuit.”

Anyway, Feige’s two-stepping around controversy continued as he said he’s “all for amicable solutions” when it came to the ScarJo suit. Giving a milquetoast soundbite is Feige’s superpower.

As someone who, not more than two hours ago, just tried ‘hot sauce for coffee’ he got from a Kickstarter, this is the sort of curiosity-provoking taste experience I live for.

Shrieking manbabies act like the Holdo Maneuver destroyed a massive chunk of the First Order’s military so they can complain about how stupid it is. In fact, it barely destroyed a single excessively-large ship. (I mean, that ship was still able to land military forces on a planet immediately afterwards.) I loved the…

Before TROS stepped over a bunch of established canon in the process (even some of the new canon had touched on the subject of whether Leia trained at all during the intervening years), the official answer to Leia pulling herself back into the ship was that it was an instinctual gut reflex in response to an extreme…

I love Last Jedi, don’t get me wrong — in my personal, subjective opinion, it’s the best of the saga outside of the original trilogy — but I always felt like Rian’s commentary on the past and whether it should live or die was timed badly in the grand scheme of things. I mean, I wholeheartedly agree with the notion,…

I’ll give you ‘nothing unique or catchy in theme or decor,’ but having been in a couple of other First Watch locations, I think the darkness is more your local thing. The ones I’ve been in, while not fancy, have been bright and cozy at least.

I’ve been slowly catching up, but I really didn’t enjoy this one much. I don’t know if it’s Covid filming or what, but this episode felt really disjointed, like 2/3 of the characters aren’t particularly interested in the plot at all. To me, Behrad’s “Shaggy from Scooby-Doo except they can actually call him a stoner”…

That’s fair. It’s kind of just falling into that ‘wistful nostalgia’ zone for me, if that helps.

He’s mostly been relegated to doing commercials.

While I haven’t done so, I’ve had pizza I’d drive that fast to get home if I had to. It was a local-ish place called Pizza Plus far enough outside of town that they wouldn’t actually deliver anyplace in-town; their customer base were all people in between these two small cities, far enough out where other pizza places…

I think a big part of what was driving the absurd speculation was the industry of YouTube videos where people spitball random theories and comic trivia for twenty minutes, knowing full well they don’t have to be right, they just have to hold your attention long enough for the click to count for their ad revenue. If…

Arguably, the best way to save the world from Wild Wild West would be to get the insane Kevin Smith-Nic Cage Superman movie to go off. Then the one producer would have gotten the ‘giant spider robot’ thing out of his system and he could go do something else instead.
