My only problem with Stoned at the Nail Salon is that you famously DON’T grow out of he music you liked when you were 16. Whatever you listened to in your formative years you’ll still listen to in your forties.

Before I was a 46 year old dad who drives 3 miles out of the way to save 20 cents per gallon at Costco (the math still works out)... I’d say I was pulled over about 15 times for speeding. Anywhere from 15 to 35 mph over the limit. Not once was I ever asked to get out of the car (or subjected to any search).

I agree, but it’s the fact that they stopped them for speeding and then thought “hey these people look like they may have drugs or weapons on them”, is the real issue here.

It's for people like me, who have a high demanding job, want to play games quick and easy, want my kids to be able to play too, want to be able to play Civ kinds of games on the go, and last but not least stream games from Ps Now and Xbox Game pass

Dwayne Johnson’s performance in Southland Tales was revelatory. I wish he would do more weird shit like that. 

Was there anything creative in BL3? Sure didn’t seem like it when I played it but godspeed in getting away from Randy Pitchford.

Are we going to delete/rename those characters?

That wasted early potential Johnson displayed in his first films is why I’m disappointed in him now. He’s wonderful in The Rundown, a total badass who is also a believable, fully formed human being with humor, fears, insecurities, ambitions and regrets. Light years ahead of where Arnie was in his first action movies.

  My broken wall clock tells the right time twice a day.  Don’t mean it ain’t broke, just means you looked at it at the right time.

You know who I think splits the difference between these two guys? Ryan Reynolds. I think he both genuinely has a passion for the material and creating nerdy shit and is invested in the work/his own personal brand as part of a broader calculated business vehicle.

The Rock is most likely a Republican and therefore is no longer relevant in my world. Not that he actually ever was. The last thing he made that was even mildly entertaining was... the Scorpion King? Other than that he’s a bad one-liner generator but without the charisma of Schwarzenegger.

I like Vin diesel more than the rock.

I think... It’s real for Diesel. The Rock just plays along because his handlers tell him it’s good publicity. 

“I live my life one Satyricon at a time.”

Cannes will love it.  None of us will understand it.  Criterion will add it to their collection.  

I want to see a remake of The Iron Giant where he says “Felliniesque” instead of “Superman”

I just love how Vin Diesel threw out the word “Felliniesque” as if that descriptor has any bearing on the Fast and the Furious movies (which I happen to love). What does that even mean? It’s like words no longer have definitions. Anyway, I find the whole situation Kafkaesque. 

Can you smell what The Rock is cooking? It kinda smells like a carefully-worded power play, probably the result of some sort of behind-the-scenes negotiations on the future of the franchise.

I’d sign up for Pea-Cock to see that.

“Coming this summer: Fast & Fellini. Not starring Dwayne Johnson.”
