I would love to meet the person who told you that information.

This is basically a play pen. When and why did we get rid of play pens? I never understood why those became passé. Sometimes you need your kid to be safe and occupied with toys while you get some shit done, ya know?

YES!!!! I agree....totally bonkers movie.  Would love to see it again as I haven’t seen it in years

I love the little gag of Eagly having trouble finding his mark and shuffling around when everyone’s supposed to be still and posing.

But if you know exactly where he is, you have no idea how fast he is going.

It’s not perfect, but since this is inspired by The Matrix Revolutions (which I quite liked), I feel like I have to mention Keanu’s other recent long awaited sequel, Bill & Ted Face the Music - released in 2020, 29 years after the most recent film (Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey) and 31 years after the original (Bill &…

Dom and I go back to being Phoenix foodies. Nice guy. Those of us who know him from the food scene ( he wrote for az republic for a while) always forget about his other life. 

Love a crusted cracker crust! Also YES speculoos--the cookie butter cookie!

Hell, even Linus Torvalds of all people (creator of the Linux kernel that’s used in a boat-ton of computers, for non-Linux geeks) either suggested or got behind the idea of doing away with “master/slave” nomenclature when it comes to drive assignment and folder structure. And that guy’s about as “I don’t give a shit…

This. I like to err on the side of not being a thoughtless wretch who uses what might be offensive to someone. It’s so easy.

Several years back, it occurred to me that the word “gyp” (as in “to ‘gyp’ someone out of money you owe them”) was likely related to the word “gypsy”, itself a term for the Romani people that many consider offensive. I checked online and sure enough, there were people saying this was the case. But I also found other…

Birds of Prey was awesome.

This is a bad idea. You may not like these movies, and I’m not crazy about them, but there are people who enjoy them, and for a lot of the younger viewers they were their introduction to Star Wars. If Lucasfilm did a Legends-style retcon you’d only piss off those fans and create more schisms where none needed to exist.

I feel like magnatiles (and the similar variants) are great toys well beyond that age range. My seven year old is really enjoying them now more than when she was younger because she can build really cool stuff on her on. Before it was just her asking me to make her things.

Can I be that person, who points out that there is a Casino Royale movie that fits into your year range, but is actually funny:

Yeah, the last time I saw Neverending Story, I was surprised by how early the horse died. Like, he’d barely gone anywhere yet!

For someone with such good taste in books, Brightness, you’ve missed the mark with this comment. Flames! Flames on the side of my face!

Top Gun is one of the worst movies to have made the most money; that thing wasn’t just a Transformers-level hit but an inescapable cultural moment and it is nearly unwatchable.

“Fellas, is it gay to raise your kids?!” Jesus what an insufferable asshole. They have twins! Not that it should matter, but it turns out TWO babies need a lot of hands. Not everyone can pass it off to a nanny. And more importantly, not everyone wants to!

Free money? Pete Buttigieg is the Sec of Transportation, I believe he earns a paycheck for his work.
