not to mention the implication

“That’s my secret, I’m always angry”
-Katherie Heigl

That’s a brilliant point.

Earthworm Jim is designed as a kind of absurd parody of 90s action-animals TV shows AND games, and it has some pretty comic concepts in the design and various villains you fight. The problem with the game and its sequel is that 1) it’s insanely hard and 2) Doug TenNapel is an absolute git.

Untitled Goose Game may well be one of the funniest games I’ve ever played. There’s just something so hilarious about being a complete asshole of a goose.

William Goldman wrote a book on the making of A Bridge Too Far, and in it he has a brief aside about great screenwriting. He singles out the scene where Rocky discovers his locker has been given away - Rocky comes in, works the combination on the lock, it doesn’t open. Without hesitating, he takes off his hat and…

YEAH BUT WHAT IF IT LOOKED LESS LIKE A FERRARI AND MORE LIKE A NISSAN WITH A BOOMBOX HANDLE ON THE BACK?!?!?///////

Just to clarify a few minor, pedantic points.

So much for being grounded to the ground

“Come try our new Improbable Chicken!”

Oh, and one more thought that just occurred to me: Will is inspired by seeing the story of Superman (brought to us via the American immigrant narrative, as symbolized by the accented newsstand guy whose copy he looks at), thinking it mirrors his own story, but the actual baby cast away from their home planet in this…

I have this mental image of her playing DDR while juggling knives and doing the stupid “cut a penny in half” demo, and honestly... I’d probably buy a set of knives.

Hi Kate! Chemist here. Please please PLEASE forgive the following and just consider it aimed at comment-readers if it’s stuff you already know or is too basic for you.

I read the paper you included from the group in Pakistan about UV measurement of caffeine. It’s a fine enough paper, but has some drawbacks that I think…

My guess is that if you put data on the package, then you now have to control it and consistently provide that amount of caffeine in each run. Providing caffeine wasn’t the intent - just a coffee flavor - so now they have to dial in the caffeine if they’re going to market it that way. They might have the equipment to…

He’s by Jupiter, on one of its moons, likely Europa.

Dennis Miller’s time on Monday Night Football made about as much sense as Jerome Kern negotiating the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk on behalf of the 1976 New York Islanders...

Who designed this shitty ass lobster costume?
wasn’t me

Black Forest gâteau was one of the signature items on the menu of one of Britain’s first mass-market chain pubs, alongside Prawn Cocktail and Chicken Kiev. In a country that had just ended rationing in the mid-50s, Black Forest gâteau was impossibly decadent and so then became a must-have at every dinner party and…

I more or less enjoyed the season and the finale, though your review has given me pause. I was sad to see Mel and Sue replaced, and thanks for the added context. Noel and Sandi are decent, but definitely a different flavour. Triggering Alice did seem mean. Incidentally, John Oliver was on Conan O’Brien’s podcast…
