My most pleasant personal surprises:

I don’t get what you’re asking here. Are you asking if there’s any situation in which a human being might acceptably remove their shirt on a film set? Yeah, of course there is. But like, events happen in a specific context? You can’t just go “well sometimes its okay for some people to take their shirt off, so maybe

I don’t know if okcupid has changed over the years but when I joined I never spent a dime on it and within a month or two had met somebody I’ve now been with for almost eight years. I dunno, online dating can be tough but it’s no more a crapshoot than any other method of meeting people. 

“What if somebody tried to do Serial but some spooky shit happened” is a really crowded genre of podcast these days, and a really hard one to nail. When done right, you get something as nail-bitingly riveting as the egg timer bit in the finale to the first season of Limetown. If done wrong, you uh, basically get The

I’m not really sure where you’re getting that from. There’s a better quality of life currently available than has ever been available before, but only for those who can afford it, which is a rapidly shrinking group. Wealth inequality is growing as capitalism slowly self destructs, our infrastructure is crumbling, far

Maybe it’s just that I didn’t have a ton of expendable income this year and didn’t see much outside of the occasional Marvel movie and Widows, but it’s wild that the only movie I saw on the list is at number one. I got tricked into watching it on Amazon because of all the anti-buzz it was getting, which had me

That’s the director’s cut of Avengers: Almost Famous

Oh I hate it.

I haven’t seen a disconnect between title and premise this bad in a long time.

I’m just deeply uncomfortable with a Christmas movie coming out on November 2nd. I need this to fail.

I know people love to scream about “whataboutism” every time someone says this, but seriously: why are people throwing money at this? And don’t try to dress it up as “protecting art from right wing trolls”, getting Gunn rehired (which this won’t do) would be at most an incredibly minor victory in the culture war for a

I know, objectively this isn’t very scary, but it’s the only thing that ever happened to me personally, and I still think about it a lot.

It’s funny, back when bluetooth in phones was first becoming a thing, before smartphones, there were a few hysterical news stories about “toothing”, people using their phone’s bluetooth to find other people around them for casual sex. As far as anyone can tell it was never really a thing, just a few horny dudes on the

Quick question, is this show about what the synopses I’m reading seem to make it out to be (a guy whose sister is trying to seduce him) because if so I think maybe there’s a larger issue here than sloppy animation.

With the advent of Game Pass, I now regularly bail on downloaded games just because the main menu looked kind of janky.

Braun Strowman powerslams me through my roof and into my living room, instantly killing me. I leave instructions in my will for my fiancé to leave them a five star yelp review.

Idk... this from the same white dudes that did episodes on how hate crime laws are bullshit and black people get too outraged over the n word, not to mention their incredibly iffy history with trans characters... I’m gonna hold off before I give them any credit on this.

Genuine question: who is playing a game like this? We live in a time when the most hardcore, niche fetish porn imaginable is available anywhere at any time, are people still cranking it to poser models you can’t see awkwardly kinda-banging until you do a slider puzzle?

A surprise influx of spending money led me to pick up two games I’ve been meaning to check out, one more recent and one older one finally in a form I can play.

You came into an article and comment thread that had nothing to do with Steven Universe to complain about how Steven Universe fans won’t stop bringing up Steven Universe.
