The Phantom is such an underappreciated movie. I remember seeing some of the behind-the-scenes featurettes on HBO when it came out, and they talked about how much work he put into his exercise regimen -- that’s entirely him in the bodysuit, folks, enjoy it. I think the only movie that captures that pulp comic vibe…

Five bucks says this gets an ‘unrated cut’ on the Blu-ray, with a bunch of CG blood and a couple of alternate dialogue takes with f-bombs.

And, god, but you can just imagine it, yeah? Mike Judge in his best Hank Hill voice, saying “a fusion chef in Dallas,” struggling audibly to figure out which precise word to put more of his good-natured contempt on.

I’ve only read a couple of them, but the X-Men/Star Trek crossover novel in particular is a surprisingly-fun read.

I think Sean’s clearly a little worried about him, too. I recently experimented with a Hot Ones variety pack, and I can tell you right now I didn’t handle the Last Dab (which was a weaker version than what he had) nearly as well as he did.

There was a 1977 episode of All in the Family where someone attempts to rape Edith, and the actor who portrayed him got death threats for years.

I can’t remember where I read this (and I’m paraphrasing), but I once saw it pointed out that Jean-Luc Picard orders his tea with the exact cadence of someone who’s had one bad experience too many with a computer unfamiliar with his accent. This just brings that to mind.

“Most in eatertainment are driving significant business through special events,” CEO Chris Morris noted at a recent business conference.

He was also going to have a cameo in GotG 2 on a movie poster, but the scene got cut.

Funnily enough, I saw him and immediately thought skinnier Tom Welling.

While it’s not exactly the same, obviously, I can’t help but feel like in terms of flavor and texture, if I’d want chocolate chip then cookies and cream does an even better job of scratching that itch.

Honestly, my initial reaction to the social media posts was distrust, because even if the movie had been good, half of them would have said “Worse than Morbius” just for the novelty of making such a comparison.

For all we know, they told him he was filming for Brave New World just in case he let it slip.

Somehow I never realized this was Snoop Dogg’s brand. I completely missed the ‘Broadus Foods’ logo, and so many cereal names are pointless, so I just never made the connection. I honestly thought it was one of those generic brands that sometimes come in bags.

Heck, I’d be fine about the final conflict being on Earth if it was someplace a bit more visually interesting and/or they’d broadened the scope of it. Like they’re clambering all over the Celestial hand and arm emerging from the ground, or have some ancient ruins with ties to their past, or if Kro got involved in any…

I genuinely like Eternals as well, and I could be wrong but I think that the reviews were more the result of post-Endgame expectations than the actual quality of the film. That said, I can’t help but feel like it’s biggest flaw is that it spends all this time building up this grand, epic tale that really starts…

One of the Starbucks where I live did late-night drive-thru for a while pre-pandemic, and I loved it. They were in a great spot for it, too — a block away from one hospital and not too far from another, and it still baffles me that it didn’t stick.

It’s still got some zing, but not as much burn, if you get the distinction. It should be pretty easy to find — I don’t know just how many grocery chains carry it, but I can consistently find it at Walmart so that’s a good sign.

I tried the Oleato latte with oatmilk the other day. It was interesting; not my usual taste, but not awful. I really can’t think of a good way to articulate it without sounding like Tom from Parks and Rec, but I will say it doesn’t really taste like olive oil. It’s much more in line with the less syrupy-sweet drinks…

Having experimented with a couple of alternatives, Tabasco’s is okay. I’d say it’s a little hotter, but not as flavorful. I also really like Sky Valley, which isn’t as hot but is a lot more garlicky. In recipes where I’ve previously used Huy Fong, I substitute about half and half Tabasco and Sky Valley and while it’s…
