Maleficent was great, partly because of the incredibly strong cast, but also because it took a very different angle on the story.

This is a fair point. Still, Sebastian Stan has been in some well-regarded non-Marvel movies over the past few years (Ricki and the Flash, The Martian, I Tonya), so Goop might have know who he was just based on that, if she were paying any attention to her original industry.

I know many of them do, and I still say they shouldn’t have to. It’s outrageous to me that people in jobs you mention, who generally aren’t paid all that well, have to take money out of their own pocket to pay for basic supplies.

Dumb and used to living in a world where facts don’t matter, but what’s especially notable is her incredible condescension to Jon Favreau while she’s absolutely wrong.

Mmmm, no. Employees shouldn’t have to pay legitimate business expenses out of their own pockets regardless, but especially not if they’re working for a non-profit which is likely not paying super well.

Now if only they’d bring back the Hot Mustard dipping sauce.

It’s certainly dickheaded. The real question is: how is that not illegal too?

My sister does the same thing with her kids, only for chores they swap monthly.

Really? That’s what you’re gonna be all judgy about? A good restaurant roast chicken is significantly better than a pre-prepared one in a box at the grocery store, and if that’s what I’m in the mood for, I’m going to order it without shame.

In fact, I have zero, and I would bet that’s the number most Americans have, given the widespread use of power dryers, and the hostility of many communities to line drying. Still, my mom line-dryed when I was a kid, and I can well believe clothespins would be up to the task of keeping a bag of chips fresh.

Ordinary binder clip, y’know, like you get at Staples?

You might not be shocked to learn the median home price in the village is just a shade below $1.5 million.

Sickest burn since King’s Landing

Well, bully for you.

Nah, that’d be the Marvel tie-in, from the time Reed Richards suggested a family of Skrulls hide out on Earth as cows.

You just made me super-nostalgic for the old upside-down 7-up “Uncola” glasses.

#3 really is a possibility. After all, plenty of people have blown out their Achilles without a preceding calf injury. On the other hand, I’d feel better as a Dubs fan if Durant had totally independent doctors involved in making the call, not just ones working for the team, and I’m not sure I’ve read that he did.

“They’re gonna be the next Beatles!!!”

I don’t even understand that. It would never occur to me to take a date’s choice of whether to take leftovers as any kind of reflection on me or the evening.

“Contrariwise” was meant to address the “yes” response, which is still somewhat ambiguous. Maybe the diner didn’t much care for it, but thinks a family member/co-worker/pet would like it. Maybe they feel that it would be somehow rude to say no. Maybe they’d rather use it to compost their garden than just have it…
