Garroting a guy so hard it cuts his fingers off. A standout for Boardwalk Empire.

“Hideous scarring” that isn’t is one of my favorite unintentional bits of comedy. Like Leo in Gangs of New York getting a sexy little slash on the side of his face and other characters were even commenting on how mangled he was now just made it funnier. 

“Care-rots? Never heard of ‘em.”

My wife does that too! Little hollowed out shells of the rind left on her plate. 

Infuriatingly, he’s been averse to W&G. There’s another show he watches where one of the characters loves camembert, but he insisted at the time a girl at his table at lunch was eating it that day and that’s where he learned about it. 

My six year old son came home one day last fall asking what “camburt” is. It took a bit of asking to realize he meant camembert. He was obsessed with trying it. So one night I set off to the store to make a cheese plate for dinner. I couldn’t find any camembert so I asked the lady running the cheese counter if they…

It sounds like that had gone bad. Brie should have a “buttery” flavor: salty and richly creamy. The only funk to it would come from the rind. There’s other soft cheeses like taleggio that really play up the funk, but it’s still much more the smell than it is the flavor. 

While I think the MCU has had kind of a Renaissance the past couple years and turned out several great, entertaining movies in a row, the first Avengers is still my favorite. We’re catching my daughter up on them so she can see Capt Marvel and Endgame in theaters this spring, and on NYE we watched the first Avengers.…

They’re unseasoned, unfatted chicken breasts being baked at a low, insipid temperature that’s causing them to steam more than roast. I am getting more and more sad just sitting here thinking about having to eat something like that and pretend it’s any good. 

Well, the important thing is he’s now finally fully breaking away from this show he came to hate doing by . . . making a prequel movie about that show. 

Hey guys. Tony DIED in that car accident back in s1 and everything after that was just the last thing he thought before he died. So the finale doesn’t matter because it wasn’t real he was already dead! Get it? I just blew everyone’s minds, didn’t I?

No Mr Chase sit down don’t attack me NooooAAAUUGGHHH

I mostly take this approach as well; going a little further I’d say that Chase is telling us it doesn’t matter if Tony lives or dies at that point. He’s already a monster, he’s not going to change, so either he dies there in the diner as a horrible person or dies later as a horrible person. 

Yeah, I can’t remember the last movie I saw on the big screen I hated so much (psst--it’s Man of Steel, probably). “Dumb fun” is not two and a half fucking hours. 

We Hate Movies did a “format change” to We Love Movies all through December and I loved it. I’ve listened to the It’s a Wonderful Life and Back To the Future episodes twice already. It’s not just the standard bagging on movies we love anyways: they actually do spell out why they love each movie they cover and manage…

I’ve always said that if we’re going to be doing remakes, Jacob’s Ladder is the kind of movie that should be remade: something that was received well enough at the time, but maybe hasn’t aged well or could have been done better. Now, as usual, nothing about this really promises that it would get done better, but in…

I thought the same thing, except more October-era Adam Clayton. Which would be more appropriate, given the setting. 

It’s like everyone involved in this saw Downsizing last Christmas, saw what happened to it, and said “hold my eggnog.” 

. . . Or Carrell’s Dan in Real Life.

Oof. I always forget that part. They really dwell on his sex scene with her too.
