I have a boxer who I’m pretty sure is more inbred than an English royal. She very regularly will stare at the doorframe, then get absolutely startled out of her trance by the tiniest noise. She is, however, a master of non verbal communication, and it took me and my brother a good two years to figure out that one side…
I live in Burlington, and it bar none the worst possible place for an airport. I’ve flown out of the airport maybe 20 times, and half of those have been delayed dur to weather. I was going to take a long weekend in NYC once, which is a quick 90 minute jaunt from BTV, but weather delayed my flight 7 fucking hours. I…
My gripe with Breaking Bad, and the same one I have with shows like House of Cards, is that it’s Walter White’s world and we’re all just living in it. I never felt any connection to Walter or to anything he was doing, and that drastically took me out of the show. BCS has actually, honest to god characters that do…
As a New Mexican, I say thank you. The only thing people know about the state is “ALIENS!” and Breaking Bad. Well, FYI, there are many, many other drugs besides meth floating around the Albuquerque metro area.
One of the great things about Predator is that it’s full of machismo posturing, “ain’t got time to bleed,” bullshit, and then everybody promptly gets slaughtered because they’re morons. Arnold only “wins” because he watches and learns from the monster and uses its tools against him.
I think a Superman game would almost be better a narrative driven game that takes the focus away from his powers. I like the idea that implications of his actions are more important than the actions themselves; Superman vs. The Elite is probably my favorite DCAU take on the character because it shows that people…
Fear will keep the local systems in line.
Not really. They both really like Infinity War and Wonder Woman, and are mostly mild on big releases. They only go full nuts on shitty movies like Anabelle:Creation and The Mummy. I think people want fawning praise or unmitigated criticism, but Mike and Jay are able to find the good and bad and laugh at both of them.…
Yeah, Phil Scott is about the most boring politician in the world. A Vermont Republican is a whole lot different than your run-of-the-mill Republican.
My biological father is (was?) an itinerant alcoholic and wife/mother beater who almost killed his 90 year old mom because she told him he couldn’t have alcohol in the house. On the other hand, my step-dad is a hardworking, understanding, and caring man who makes my mom happy, which is really the only thing that…
How many times in the last 15 years have you called him "boy"?
Hard Times is probably the best wrestling promo of all-time, with My Way being 1A. He wasn’t just fighting against Flair, but all the things that Flair represented: the faux upper class trappings, the disdain for people that were, essentially, just like him, and the inevitable march against the working class. It…
Tell Em, by Sleigh Bells. It's also my wrestling intro theme.
I am right at 6'0" too, but I broke my collar bone years ago and didn’t heal right so I literally slope to one side which take a solid 2 inches off unless I fully (and painfully) stand stock straight.
“Sleep Tight" and "Forgiving" is Angel at it's best. That speech is fucking rough but it does lead to the best character progression on TV.
I won a radio contest in middle school on Simpsons trivia and got a crappy shirt that had Homer sitting on the couch. It was two sizes too big and ugly as sin, but I was proud, and I wore that thing for about a month without washing it or ever changing out.
If I could downvote a comment, this one would be the one.
Ten years ago I had to apply for a Q clearance for my job at a national lab. I never received it because the investigator’s car got stolen with my personal, sensitive material still in it and the contractor I worked for lost their contract because too many people got injured. I still get letters from the GAO and OPM…
Thank you! My main problem with The Dark Knight is that Nolan is a consumate stylist over everything else. The film is georgous to look at, and Nolan’s greatest talent is creating an unending sense of dread, but holy crap I just didn’t care about any of it. Bruce Wayne is a jerk, Batman is hilariously stilted, Harvey…
