Yeah, I also lived in NYC during the period, and I didn’t understand any of this Rudy is great stuff. He went on TV and said — what happened is awful but we will stand up to bad guys. Which is totally true; but like, duh. Any normal human would say that. And then Bush gave a speech saying, “terrorism is bad, and I’m…

I say “proactive” constantly, because the Simpsons taught me that it was such a stupid word. In fact, I say it so much that I think I might no longer be being ironic -- but rather, may be being a person saying a dumb word over and over again. : /

Huh. Weird. I legitimately love this movie, though I can see why people might hate it. I am also legitimately not an alt-right incel type. Scott reminds me of me when I was younger—and also reminds me of why I sucked when I was younger: the self-satisfied snark, the self-absorption, etc. But the point of most of the…

I live in Bulgaria — SOFIA if you want to get snooty. And I have never, ever seen this beer. All Bulgarian beer tastes like Bud-inflected piss water, which is fine with me — I like crap beer just fine. Still never heard of this one though. ASTIKA or death!!

As a Sixers fan, and it pains me to say this, I have to agree. Make him into a PF or something. Or do as the commentator says below, and require that he shoots five threes a game, no matter what, until he gets good at it. The degree to which Simmons is scared of shooting a jump shot is getting... weird. And the irony…

I would like to point out that I am also greyed, and I have no idea why. My account was from the A.V. Club, and we were all supposed to be un-greyed. But they couldn’t figure out how to do that, so then I was greyed. Then I got un-greyed. Then I left a few non-offensive comments and was re-greyed.

Here is my full and complete Chevy Chase anecdote:  my father went to college with Chevy Chase, and said he was a total and complete asshole.  With that said, “Fletch” still rules.

Yes! “To Live and Die in a L.A.” Not only a good soundtrack, but totes underrated movie, and an AMAZING car chase. ....I wrote all of this, but I am in the grays! Why I am in the grays! I’m not in the grays on the A.V. Club. If someone will take me out of the grays, I promise to limit my theorizing as to how Hillary…

I realize the Wang Chung convo isn’t exactly burning up the comments, but the best Wang Chung song is “To Live and Die in L.A.” Which is also a TOTALLY UNDERRATED MOVIE with an amazing car chase. Please take me out of the grays for this comment.*

Tom Wilson went to my high school, and came back my senior year and talked to my English class. He talked about how, in high school, for the first two years, he was super-skinny and dorky, and then, suddenly, junior year, he had a growth spurt and became huge for no real reason, and then became, in his words, “the…

Aw, he’s from Detroit? That’s cute. I got in a fight with ZMF about the ending of “The Dark Knight” once, and it was the highlight of my internet commenting experience. Rest in peace, ZMF

It’s great when people who can somehow seem like the worst person ever in the course of a 90-second video, are like, “I know this guy! He’s a good man; he is also married or somethiing.” Ah, good. I was almost worried there for a second. I feel very reassured now.

I don’t think “Forever” is like... good at all, but it at least sort of tried (sort of). “Batman & Robin” is just bananas insane, but not even in a fun way. Like, I just watched the credits scene from the article above (with the sound off) and it gave me sort of whiplash-inducing nausea, everything is loud and crazy…

Google “Samsung sports mode” and you’ll find it. Worked for me. : )

I worked for a website very similar to this one — basically, they have you churn out copy at a very crazy rate; you don’t have enough time to edit anything, and there’s no way they’ll spend the small amount of money necessary to hire a full-time copy editor. It’s not that the writers are not good, it’s that there’s…

Fun fact that I learned only yesterday. The materials to make roads and also cardboard also include animal products. So if you use a road, or have ever bought anything in a cardboard box, you are — gasp — no longer vegan!

That’s amazing that you eventually read the article that you were freaking out about; impressive. Also, who was fighting to the death about harmless cultural minutiae here? The article basically said, “Yeah, even the screenwriter and most people at the time thought this movie could be a little creepy, but the movie…

Heh. I knew the campaign manager too. And we never figured out what the deal was with the car bomb.

Breitbart comments are currently divided between people freaking out that he betrayed them, and other people saying that Trump is playing 4D-chess, and is tricking the Dems and why don’t you people get it? And the two sides are enraged and are blocking each other. It’s sort of adorable, except for the part where…
