You had the tools at your disposal all along. If the cops in the US had treated being in a crowded public space without a mask with the same paranoia and aggressiveness as they do driving/running/walking/standing/leaning/sitting/lying down/sleeping while black, you’d have this under control.

I get it done once or twice a month - support your local barber, even if you could do the job yourself - and I feel pumped for the rest of the day. Frankly, I’ve started thinking about women’s hairstyles as I do about corsets.

Jeff Goldblum playing a weird creature, Geena Davis, both of them at the ‘80s peak of their hotness, and it’s not Earth Girls Are Easy.

They may have toned down the physical and sartorial absurdity, but Gleeson’s take on Trump’s not-yelling voice is appropriately creepy.

Who is Tom Brady and why do I also hate him even though I had to ask that question?

I remember May well enough, and I didn’t think that. The current mess seemed like a plausible scenario to me then - not because I’m an expert on this virus, but because I extrapolated from 17 years of proven Republican incompetence and everything we knew about Trump. Hell, I was confident enough back in March to pred…

A lot probably depends on how well Tenet’s America-last approach succeeds financially. If it ends up making solid dough in the rest of the world and maintaining anticipation levels in the States, that’s good reason to try the same for Dune in December - barring a miraculous COVID-19 recovery in the fall that would…

Tenet got a 2nd trailer back in May in spite of the ‘rona. Hell, just look at Foundation! If Dune gets released outside the US first, that still counts, and we’re awfully close to the release date to go trailer-less. And if it’s going to be delayed instead, then you gotta throw the fans a bone, especially now that the…

Damn right it was a disappointment. Where’s the Dune trailer?

Which one of the Flintstones’ home appliances was he?

Well, actually, I know jack shit about paleontology, but a lot about geography, history and politics.

*means

I mean, sort of. The Soviets annexed the region of Bessarabia in 1940 and shifted the borders, substracting territory in the south and north where the Romanians were a minority and adding territory on the left bank of the Nistru/Dniester (hence the state’s name) which had never been part of either Romania or…

You laugh, but... there’s an actual historical region of Gondwana in India, and people who want to make it into a state.

Oh boy, I’m in the line of fire now! I was walking a tightrope with that pun, thinking I was flying like a bird because I was oblivious like a rookie, not counting on the enforcer of good taste. You came in and threw down the gauntlet. I’m now reeling from the sudden impact. In a perfect world, I would’ve said nothing.

They should’ve just paid him his original asking price - he was even willing to address their annual shareholders’ meeting for a few dollars more.

They didn’t want to pay a million dollars, baby.

Does this mean an even greater number of famous people? Or does it mean people even more famous than those already there?

Unintentional plagiarism on my part. I think I saw all of Carlin’s specials, but it was ages ago and I’d forgotten all about this bit.

“Pre-planned” is a stupid term. If you didn’t plan for something before it happened, when else could you have planned for it?
