Uh-oh, Rob Lowe? Netflix owes some charity $10,000.

I saw the explanation in another review and it’s so straightforward I can’t believe I didn’t guess it ahead of time: The humans were able to save his brain and put him in an Avatar body. He’s a Na’vi now!

Pretty rich coming from a guy who can’t write write dialogue that sounds like a normal human conversation for more than three lines.

The Gumby’s in my town closed and was replaced by a Toppers (now also gone, RIPs.) It might be recency bias but I preferred the Topperstix, which had a nice, pillowy, chewy texture. I haven’t had Pokey Stix in almost two decades but I recall them being good, but a tougher chew.

These days I find that if somebody starts talking about Judaism unprompted, and they’re not currently standing in a Temple or dressed in full observant Orthodox gear? It’s safe to assume they’re dog-whistling.

“Nah man he just changed his diet and worked out a lot; lean proteins and HIIT routines are what transformed his physique and the...shape of his...skull.

The two things that stick with me about WW84:

Like any artist, Gabe’s style has...evolved over time. This is actually the good version, there was a period a few years back where every character had a bulbous red nose and chipmunk teeth, like they were the Little Golden Books version of W.C. Fields or something.

I trust Sims.

You know damn well they don’t put effort into these things anymore and it’s going to be called Avatar: A XXX Parody.

We live in a post-truth society; I can absolutely believe that some Boomer has convinced themselves that they enjoyed Snackwells products watching Saturday morning cartoons during the Kennedy Administration.

These were a staple in our house in the 90's, because my mom fell for the “fat-free” thing hook line and sinker (Most everything I ate prior to 2002 was a low-fat/fat-free product...you ever experience a “Light ‘n Lean 98" hot dog? Blech.). A shame that there was no Fat Lobby to counter the Sugar Lobby’s efforts.

Pretty much every character’s voice sounds like a schoolyard imitation of themselves now...Julie Kavner in particular sounds like she’s about to lose the ability to speak halfway through every line. There hasn’t been a renewal announced past the current season, but if Fox or Disney wants to keep this thing going in

You clicked, didn’t you?

I heard everyone is secretly a dog in a human costume.

Weirdly, Warcraft is one of the most successful video game-to-film adaptations ever because it did very, VERY well in China. (But everywhere else...not so much.)

I can’t buy Goldfish anymore because I know I will house the entire bag in one sitting.

Yes, he got the post-credits coda of “He properly diversified his assets and is ‘respectable’ enough to move his family to a White neighborhood”...because the movie could barely cover that angle while also trying to tell the Dickie/Tony story.

Exactly this. I didn’t hate the movie - solid “C” territory for me - but it was really puzzling why David Chase was so dead-set on it being a movie rather than a limited series since there was so much ground to cover. He only shortchanged himself by trying to cram this thing into 2 hours. Like, why even have Leslie
