SNL already made that joke.

It's on youtube, first search result for "Yul Brynner…" I'd never seen it before, but it was spooky.

In high school mock trial they would have a lot of in-jokes in the case materials. One example, that I didn't notice until my dad pointed it out, was that a engineer got his undergraduate from Felix Unger university, who was clean guy character in "The Odd Couple"

As Steven Seagal can attest, Netflix has filled the gap on that.

I got super lucky with a couple of pre-schoolers at a showing of John Wick 2. Didn't peep the whole time. They were able to walk out of the theater so I don't the parents doped them up with Benadryl beforehand.

Huh, the used bookstore I go to never has any Atwood either.

Even on mammals it's kind of weird. There's a brand of low-fat cream cheese with a anthropomorphized cow who is also shaped like a human swimsuit model and is reclining with her legs coyly covering her udders which are near her crotch. Like, if the cow is human shaped then suddenly udders become obscene? It's weird.

I too just started watching Patriot , I'm a huge Coen brothers fan so the dark humor is right up my alley. I hope the AV club starts doing reviews of it.

I remember it as an Xbox launch title (an Xbox, a Xbox, hmm. I think it would be a Xbox since the "x" sound is a vowel sound). The game was good, the human parts were a FPS with minimalistic HUD and clever game mechanics with realistic fire effects and the Kong parts were just balls-out fun to play.

I wear a lot of flat caps, its the same thing they wear in peaky blinders.

Not much new, played some Binding of Isacc the most recent one. Went to a downtown bar at night with a book of Flannery O'Connor stories to keep me entertained in case there weren't single-looking ladies to talk to. There weren't. Although one group of ladies yelled to me "Nice book" as they were leaving and I think…

Supposedly Seth Rogen is still working on a "The Boys" TV adaptation. That's been going on for a few years though.

I don't know if this is true in every edition, but Thomas Mann, if you're reading this, fuck you for having a critically important conversation between the protagonist and the love interest take place entirely in untranslated French, especially when you know that you have a huge American audience.

I thought it was great, but I think it would come down to personal preference. All the twists are telegraphed really obviously, it is very ponderous (30 minutes could have easily been cut out with no side effects), and the narrative isn't very cohesive (lot's of plot holes). If you're okay with these in a movie, then…

Huh, it doesn't remind you of the other Thomas Mann story set in a sanitarium in the Alps? A character actually reads that in one scene.

Theres actually an old documentary about an antartic expedition that shows a sled dog getting put down. They have a shot of the guy walking out of frame with the dog and a gun in his hand, then it cuts to a reaction shot of the other dogs hearing the gunshot, and then a shot of the guy walking back with just the gun.…

Huh? The water in the boiler? That usually has a ton of chemicals in it, pure water will corrode the pipes. Thats actually part of my job is checking and maintaining the chemical levels.

I'm just reading it, it is phenemonally weird. I wonder if it's always true that "inspirational" stories are 50% bullsh*t, it was that way with Ben Carson.

The only way I know about that movie was that there were a shitload of banner ads and video ads for it on cracked.com, an adult humor website, for maybe a solid month before it's release.

Joseph McCarthy is extremely dead, he was a raging alcoholic and died very shortly after his time in the spotlight. Like F. Scott Fitzgerald, he tried to quit drinking by only drinking beer instead. It didn't work.
