Love it, but I have kind of a thing for intense action sequences set to pop music. For example, the Ordinary World scene in Layer Cake, the Father Figure scene in Atomic Blonde, etc.

I bet it was Karma

I let my 10 year old watch it. It utterly wrecked him, but he loved it. Some of my fondest childhood memories involve being destroyed by movie scenes. (Artax in the Swamp of Sadness, etc.) Far be it from me to deny him the same experience.

Honestly, I’m of the opinion that “Get Out” was okay. Not anywhere near as great as it was hyped to be, but no worse than the other dozen or so over-hyped movies that get churned out every year.

Yeah, I have 2 and sometimes I even make them sit in separate rows to curb the bickering, so 3 is for sure pushing it.

Agreed. I bought an XC90 last spring. I really, really wanted the XC60, but needed the third row for carpool purposes.

So. Tommy James is actually an old friend of my stepdad’s. They still hang out a bit. He and my mom go out to dinner with him every few years. For the longest time, I would not even consider that the weird old friend of my goofy stepdad might actually be talented. It wasn’t until the episode of Veronica Mars that…

You can’t buy a rotisserie chicken with SNAP? That’s insane. It’s 5 bucks and I can easily get 2-3 meals out of one chicken and then I use the carcass to make bone broth which I can use to make a week’s worth of soup/stew. I’ve never heard of anything so stupid. I’ve never been on any kind of assistance and I’m…

Sometimes I think that too, but the thing about LCD Soundsystem is that every time I think I’ve decided which of their songs is their best song, I change my mind a week later. I think it’s what I love most about the band.

Interesting. I didn’t realize that Peter not knowing how to drive was a thing. I assumed it was a nod to the scene in 16 Candles where Farmer Ted trashes Jake Ryan’s dad’s fancy car.

My 9 year old, both a huge Potter and DW fan turned to me at the end of Fantastic Beasts and said “I think this movie would have been better with Matt Smith.”

Woman with nanny, personal assistant, housekeeper, personal trainer and oh, I don’t know, probably a fucking butler or two doesn’t understand why women are tired, vows to get to the bottom of it.

He went to Tahiti. I hear it’s a magical place.

Ok, but like...how? Just start writing checks? Everyone just queues up for Zuck Bucks? And then what? Are there any safeguards in place to make sure that 90% of Zuckerberg’s fortune doesn’t end up back in the hands of the billionaires because nobody has sat these people down and taught them about financial literacy,…

Your point is taken, but it’s not the best analogy. Yeah, if one dude is drowning, you help him out, no question. But if you are on a boat and around you there are 10, 100, 1000 people drowning, it’s probably better to come up with a few ideas beyond “Just jump in and save them.”

They are! I’m not Mormon but grew up in an area with a pretty large LDS community. They are all so, so nice. If you take away all the weird Space Jesus iconography, they are basically Canadians.

Also, the mistress? Was apparently the IRL inspiration for Alison Poole, the character Jay McInerney character that Bret Easton Ellis also threw a shoutout to in American Psycho.

I guess I just wonder how sustainable that is, though. Like factories, yeah, sure. The people that work in those have a pretty decent understanding of the machines, how they work, etc. But the general population? Yikes.

I would like to invite anyone who truly believes that robots are going to do all of the jobs one day, to spend just one hour in the Stop & Shop supermarket in Monroe Township, NJ. Half an hour, even. Watch that little old lady try to figure out why the automated checkout lane won’t accept her expired coupon and where…

Completely agree. I do wonder where the people railing against the idea of unskilled laborers making $15 per hour live. I make more than that, and in no way could I afford to live in NYC if I was single. Maybe in some roach motel with 15 roommates.
