Hardest I laughed all year was when the nun was reading the Exorcist on a bus and laughing.

Mind blowing moment when you realise Granda Joe is Ser Barristan Selmy.
If you don’t think Derry Girls belongs on the list, you haven’t seen Derry Girls.
He’s nothing more than Log Cabin Republican. And he knows nothing about Black people. And Castro, a superior candidate, who actually understands black people is barely getting any traction.
Mistress America is soooo good, it deserves Rushmore cult status.
My absolute favorite that didn’t make the list is Black Swan. It’s probably in my top 10 for the decade.
Other picks:
The fucking cast in it! Larson, Stanfield, Malek, Dever, Beatriz before they broke out much bigger.
Short Term 12 is “serious, gritty indie about troubled characters” done right. It’s a gem.
Maybe it’s because I’m currently locked in a testing room going over forms line by line all day and now I have a new playlist of music I wouldn’t otherwise discover, but I like this feature and would like to see more of it. Thank you.
Yeah, I feel your pain.
I still haven’t finished Divinity: Original Sin yet. I’m probably going to have to do the same thing. I’m not so much at peace with that decision, though.
Planescape: Torment is my favorite video game of all time. I played it when it originally released two decades ago and still remember so much of it clearly. It had a great impact on how I DM my tabletop D&D games, and I still draw inspiration for characters and situations to this day.
I think the general writing quality of Baldur’s Gate and Planescape: Torment come down to the writers not being dismissive or skeptical of the reading abilities of their audience, and how much they’d care to hear the story at hand.
...and now I’m considering reinstalling Diablo II once more...
I love the mention of the boxes. Anyone who purchased one of the infamous “Battle Chests” or one of the three expansions for World of Warcraft with their big heavy manuals would know.
Four-year-olds are fantastic. My son was 4 when we took him to his first hockey game, to see the (now defunct) Baton Rouge Kingfish of the ECHL. Part way through the first period, while players are scrambling for the puck along the boards, he jumps up, points at the ice, and yells, “There’s only one puck! You have to…
Oh man. WAAAAYYYYY back in the day (1981?) I was in a theater watching Dragonslayer. A pretty decent fantasy movie for the day. Anyway, at one point our male lead says to the female lead “I’m in love... but not with the Princess.”
I had a similar experience watching the movie Enemy of the State in theaters. For some reason, the house lights kept randomly coming on. At some point, they were on for around 30 seconds. Eventually. a large man stood up to face the projector and screamed in the thickest southern drawl you can imagine, “TURN OFF THE…
Orphan remains my greatest moviegoing experience. It was just a so-so thriller, but at the big reveal a tween/early-teen girl sitting down the row from us stood up and shouted ESTHER GOT TITTIES at the top of her lungs. It was incredible and probably the hardest I’ve ever laughed in public.
