Here’s what I wrote about this on my FB page (and now we know Melania is a fan of Michelle):

Hold on hold on...I thought this was a complete reboot - same concept with different actors/actresses? Are you telling me this is like a sequel?

Yeah, that sucks.

Yeah, that sucks.

Silver Surfer was the Marvel series I stayed with the longest (besides Amazing Spider-man), and I admit it was because I loved the concept more than the stories. Some were good, but a lot bordered on the silly...but that’s OK too. This one looks like it combines silly and good, which could be the best of all worlds.

I saw that, but I mistook it for an R5 model. There goes my cred.

My wife just watched A New Hope for the first time, and she quite liked it. Although she thought the colour was off, and some of the creatures looked a bit weird...so it’s not just the nostalgic people who don’t like the new effects.

You expect anime to be gratuitous, it’s part of the style, but that poster is gratuitous for anime, it’s the kind of thing someone would draw specifically to mock anime’s excessiveness.

I remember watching the movie and thinking “This! This is what is wrong with America. They don’t even realise how awful they are. They think this sort of shit is good and righteous!” I felt a little better when I mentioned this to a friend and he said the director did that on purpose, it was satire meant to mock…

I though the article built to it. Everything that came before was context for this reveal - including the headline. This was more of an analyst piece that a strict news article, so it didn’t use the inverted pyramid structure. Maybe you think the article should have been structured differently, that’s legitimate, but…

I disagree - the article was reporting on the condemnation of the booing, which was useful to me because I hadn’t heard of the incident. Maybe to a sports fan it was a pointless rehashing.

Haisley did mention this in the article:

I never knew different facial hair responded differently to shaving - I always assumed the stubble was too short to make a difference. Thanks for filling me in.

Who the hell gets razor burn with cartridges?

That Pod video is hilarious, I couldn’t stop laughing.

My sister has that language. One time she wanted a set of pencils, and my mum individually wrapped each pencil - my sister was legitimately excited with each unwrapping. “Yellow! Excellent!”

When I read this book a couple of decades ago it really opened my eyes to how I relate to people. At first I couldn’t figure out what my love language was, because I recognised and appreciated all the ways when people showed them to me. So then I considered what happens when someone does the opposite; if we never…

I don’t get the Daily Show in my country, but that seemed to work. I would put it as an average level Jon Stewart show, but a big part of how good the shows are is what there to be talked about, and, of course, experience and finding-one’s-feet.

You need the right partner, though. Sometimes the other player is so useless it’s like you’re playing the single player version anyway but somehow have to play it for two people.

Everyone considers my wife to be lucky - which I guess reflects well on me.

I really liked the end of this article. I tend to differentiate happiness (a superficial and temporary feeling of elation) from joy (a profound long-term pleasure in one’s life and how it is going). Everyone has different definitions, of course.
