Are you sure Lockhart Steele isn’t a plant from Harlequin Books?

Sicario was filmed primarily in my hometown of Albuquerque, which really makes sense if you’ve ever been to Albuquerque. In fact, the bank they stake out shares a parking lot with a grocery store I used to work at and is about 3 blocks west of an apartment I lived in.

After the whole Steve and Bryce Alford thing, Lobo fans are understandably reticent to take on another father/son duo.

He’s so handsome and romantic.

I helped run a summer science camp last year and there was what I can only describe as an epidemic of smutty apps being used by the 12-14 year old students. One of them was disguised as a calculator but was actually a photo app that could be used to manipulate pictures and put the subject in sexually explicit…

I remember Joss Whedon talking about hiring comedic actors for his films and shows (specifically Michael Hitchcock in Serenity), because if they can make you laugh, it’s not too much more to make you feel something else.

I actually did watch it (it’s very, very funny), and I’ve read all his books too. “Have a Nice Day” is still a reread for me 16 years later.

I listened to that book on a cross country flight. Shoemaker does an impressive job of categorizing how insanely fucked up wrestling can be on the talent.

I also don’t see him coming back to the Fed like Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin. The precautionary measures just make this feel more final. We’re starting to see the collective impact of the indie style (high flying, high risk, tons of outside and awkward bumps) take it’s toll on guys who are usually rock solid. Most…

As much as I want to see Bryan go up against Styles, Nakamura, Joe, Balor, Zayn...I cringed every time he did something even remotely risky after his Mania run. I don’t think I’d be able to watch him take a Bomaye or a Styles Clash, or even a standard suplex.

I saw Wrestlemania in the same stadium and it was bright as hell outside. Mysterious guys like The Undertaker and Sting lose a ton of mystique when they’re outside in blazing heat.

Yeah, I agree. The Nolanverse Batman movies rely way too much on convenience and questionable character choices. But they’re so briskly paced, and Batman is such criticism proof character, these mostly go unnoticed until you watch them again.

I damn near cried when Shaw decided to go all heroic and Root just loses it in “If-Then-Else.” I still periodically watch that episode, it’s just so good.

I imagine it has picked up riders, but ABQ, Santa Fe, and maybe Las Cruces, there aren’t many population centers (and Rio Rancho of course). And they’re so spread out it hardly works. A place like Utah can have a commuter rail line because it’s basically a system of interconnected towns. Get out of the ABQ metro area…

God, I remember riding that thing on its first free fare weekend. I was one of maybe 10 people on the train going north and even less going back. It was depressing.

If you’re talking broadly about people forgetting, then yeah probably. There’s a lot of interesting research going on that tackles the topic of memory and the public’s perception of historical events as time passes. As Thom Hartman says (I’m paraphrasing from memory): big wars happen when the people who last…

I was at Mania last year and I groaned when The Rock came out. He’s such a relic now and I hate that the WWE is making a bunch of old stars play kabuki theater versions of themselves.

I know a Megyn. She’s a doctor, one of the smartest people I know, and unbelievably gorgeous. And yet...that name...

Fair enough. I’m not the best person to discuss modern pop music with, mostly because I don’t listen to terrestrial radio and haven’t for a good long time. I don’t care for Macklemore and probably never will, but judging other people’s musical tastes is one of things I try to never do. There is one thing we can…

I think Kendrick Lamar is honestly too thoughtful for radio play. His stuff isn’t exactly what one would call accessible.
