The horrifying thing about Waldo is that it’s *less* horrifying than reality. Because Waldo *lost*. The real world is the black mirror to the episode, not the other way around.

You probably won’t see a class action, simply because individuals could bring their claims on an individual basis in an economically viable manner (in other words, these shit stains are so awful, each individual person has enough of a stake that a class action isn’t necessary).

Catastrophe is great, but I’m not even sure that’s developed, or merely distributed, by Amazon.

That is my all time favorite ICP line, and as you mention, they are always hilarious when they stop the rap to point out how batshit stupid a previous lyric was.

Going way back toward my earlier MTV memories, Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart was probably my introduction to the “government oppression” story. It was some pretty trippy stuff for a 9 year old to wrap his head around.

I miss the first time you said that.

My boss’s husband (who just passed away this past week for reasons unrelated to this post . . . /sad) did this, and it has been a running joke among everyone who knows them for years. Dude was lovable as hell, so he could pull that sort of thing off, but only just barely.

One might very well get some sense of history out of a park instead of a book. But that’s beside the point, because this whole “historical” argument is a complete fucking red herring. No one who wants those statues to remain up gives one damn about learning about history.

Want to have some fun? Go to your State's electronic case tracking system (if applicable), and search for a name like Smith or Jones. And then calculate what percentage of your results have the word "Bank" in the Plaintiff's name.

The fact that Fury Road is already being taught in schools is by far the best news I've heard all day.

You always were an asshole, battybrain.

Knowing Martin, there will be about 7 different little brother's who could conceivably qualify, even after it happens. Guy loves himself a vague prophecy.

Per Sarah Bunting (co-founder of Television Without Pity, speaking of defunct media properties), who apparently worked there for a while, those were real letters they published. Not that she was asserting they were true letters, but she did represent that Penthouse wasn't just making them up.

Sadly, it's not always chess. Sometimes its poker, which typically creates even more ludicrous scenarios. I get the impression that when it comes to chess, directors at least consult someone with some skill to set up the game. When it comes to poker, all the director needs to know is that royal flush beats 4 of a…

Bloodline has phenomenal acting, characters, and atmosphere. If you're big on those, it's pretty great. But if story is your thing, you're likely to find it average to good, at best.

Hellbound has some absolutely great one liners.

So eager to franchise, so reluctant to admit it.

Indeed. What I found particularly effective was the sense that for people in slum housing, a mythical slasher serial killer isn't that big a deal, and poses *less* of a threat than what they encountered every day. Candyman is just some random dude with a hook who shows up when you call him. Poverty, drugs,…

That was pretty remarkable.

That rules me out.
