The problem was the state polls were off in the Midwest, partially due to outdated methodology but more to do with them being under-polled, assuming Clinton had them in the bag. I am seeing multiple polls every week out of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, so that’s not an issue this time.

It’s actually super funny - rich people’s big boats sunk a bunch of (relatively) poorer people’s smaller boats, because those rich people refused to make room for those poorer people.  Meanwhile, the poorer people were just happy to be around the richer people, even if it meant that they might die.

The heat isn’t my issue, it’s heating up the entire main chamber. A smoker, by nature, needs some extra room for smoke to percolate, so they’ve usually got a bigger main chamber. It’s overkill to heat up that entire chamber for searing purposes, when all you really need is one hot surface.

Yeah, definitely don’t read the books, then. Live and Let Die has Fleming’s attempt to write ebonics, and The Spy Who Loved Me is told from a woman’s perspective, which could be neat, if she wasn’t always just one harsh breeze away from fainting from all the excitement.

I’m a recent convert to pellet smokers, and it’s just so much easier. With a stick burner or a kettle, you’re managing both the food and the fire. With a pellet smoker, the computer takes care of 90% of the fire issues.

Agreed on the quality of Amazing Ribs.

I don’t think many people are out there *cheering on* rioting.

Would it be better if Hulk was unquestionably the strongest character, but he periodically ignored player inputs to target other enemies? It’s one way to balance , and it incorporates him going off on a blind rage.

Just as a reminder, if you shrink the window size down (about a quarter of the screen works for me), it forces these slideshows into list mode.

I really don’t care.  Do U?

The situation you’re describing, in which AV Club would review a theatrical-only release because the reviewer was able to view the movie outside of a theater, has not yet occurred and nothing in this article says it’s AV Club’s plan to do this.

I know all Republican women are basically interchangeable to Republican men, but goddamn, it’s strange to see Guilfoyle basically become Dana Loesch once the latter disappeared.

There’s a possibility that the movie will soon be released via streaming, in which case a timely review can influence a reader’s opinion to watch at home.

What if I just want a heads up for if a movie is any good for when it eventually comes to VOD?

I don’t see any issue with AV Club reviewing VOD releases, because the reviewer and the customer are on equal grounds there, safety-wise. I do object to them reviewing theatrical releases (so long as the reviewer is safe) that the general public can’t safely attend because the effect of publishing that review now…

I think this is the right call for this movie, but that AV Club is making the wrong call for movie reviews generally.

Spouse and I are in the middle of a Game of Thrones re-watch. A couple nights ago, we got to the scene where [SPOILER] burns his [SPOILER] alive.

LBJ explained the entire grift: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
