So, no piggy-back rides?

Normally don't give two figs about grades but B sounded low, so scrolled up to find it amended to B+, which, in the context of past episodes and just how effective this one was, still seems low.

Chick may not be total scum, but knowing what Norma's brother did to her, he could have picked a less invasive way of showing his affection/appreciation.

I was watching that scene again, and while it does seem like there is some weight on the bar, the little back and forth wobble at the bottom of the press makes it suspicious almost 500 lbs is pressing down especially when compared to videos where it's obvious the loaded barbell has huge mass and inertia and the lifter

Agreed that those were all cons in the sense of gaining the confidence of the mark, but Chuck and Howard didn't fundamentally misrepresent themselves even though they might have thrown shade at the competition and projected more vitality than Chuck's condition would warrant.

Agreed, but I think very few editors if any would choose to populate their front page with descriptive if bland "Episode Title" Show name rather than Show name [action verb] [direct object] [adverbial prepositional phrase].

Talked about this last review, but D'Onofrio was reported to be about 280 lbs, and assuming 30% bodyfat, gives him 196 lbs lean mass and an expected bench of 255 assuming a 1.3 bench-to-lean mass ratio.

The policy of putting review titles on the front page doesn't look like it's going away soon, so a better approach might be to ask the reviewers to be more opaque.

What's sad is that Philip Tiu's correct betting strategy was such an anomaly that he sticks out like a Jeopardy! contestant's sore buzzer thumb when his approach to DDs should be SOP.

If Trebek wanted to make himself useful he should remind contestants before they announce their wagers, "And remember folks, only the winner walks out of here with the money they've accumulated."

Newborn babies aren't nearly this fat, averaging about 13.3% body fat.

Ellie Parker was a riff on Watts's experiences as a young actor in LA and one could feel her hunger and desperation as she practiced lines in LA traffic while also changing outfits on her way to auditions.

Caught Heat on cable recently, a few times, actually, as it was rebroadcast and I was watching scenes here and there so that eventually I got the whole movie, and it was surprisingly watchable and more serious than I would have imagined, apart from an evil albino or two.

Don't know if it was cinematically necessary but it was nice to not be blinded by one.

The odd thing about MI:GP on IMAX was switching between the different film formats and aspect ratios, but agreed the scenes on the outside of Burj Khalifa tower were vertiginously impressive.

From what I remember the curators of the cave were concerned that increasing human activity would eventually ruin the paintings with mold and other contaminants, so Herzog was providing a valuable service in documenting not just the paintings but how they were meant to be experienced by the humans that painted them

Finding Nemo

By the time I got around to thinking I should see Gravity in 3D and IMAX if possible it had finished its local run in both formats and I have never forgiven myself.

The first suspect is never the murderer especially just a few minutes past the half hour mark, but neither is the second when there's still fifteen minutes left in the hour.
