I agree. I see some people mentioning they don't find the ghostwritten stuff too great, but I never read that far, and I really like a lot of his answers on things and the recognition it's easier to make television aimed at women than it is to get movies aimed at that. And I LOVE that he took that dig at the original…

Place it strategically if you can. My mom caught me reading it when I was 13 and asked if I knew what it was about, which was super weird because my mom never asked, and when I said, "it's siblings locked in an attic," she said, "...okay," and backed away, and that got me to read faster because what was mom so freaked…

Don't forget Phil Jupitus and Rob Brydon! Although, if you add them in, you're watching a LOT of QI at once.

He is literally how I learned "dietitian" is the protected term and a "nutritionist" may be shady. I do not assume every nutritionist is shady, but it's amazing how, knowing that, and then seeing shit on juice fasts and "detoxes" how many of those things are recommended by nutritionists.

I think you've really nailed it. Nothing's ever going to be 100% safe, and there's, what? Two or three generations between people talking now and pre-vaccine days? I remember my fourth-grade teacher describing polio and whooping cough to us and explaining how vaccines wiped out those things, so every time I see…

I was just gonna recommend it! And the emotion in it feels really honest, too. I described it to a friend as a light romantic drama with actual sex.

I always end up making a list on these people: People die when seeking cancer treatment. Should we stop treating cancer and let more people die? People die when wearing seatbelts? Should we stop putting seatbelts in cars so more people die? People die from unintended drug interactions. Should we stop creating medicine…

Dara O'Brian has a very on-point bit about how we discuss the 'softer' sciences in the media. Say to a physicist, "Explain to us how the sky is blue," and the physicist does. You do not then turn to someone who is not a physicist and say, "and why do you think the sky is blue?" and accept both as equal answers in the…

Can't lie: Had the same thought when they announced Wondy because I didn't realize they were casting Wondy for the vs. movie because I have not been paying close attention because DC is so missing the point of how to build the franchise like Marvel has now. If they wanted the big, spanning franchise, they shouldn't…

If Christian Bale can get to Batman muscles, I see no reason why Gal Gadot can't do something similar. I'd prefer her not to look too much like Linda Hamilton in T2, just because those comparisons would show up, but if that's her body type and how it builds muscle, so be it. As long as Wondy has big guns, I'm happy.…

Not "Closer," but "The Closer." Damned pre-caffeine typing.

Brown Bunny has an actual act of fellatio, as in he actually got a blow job while the camera was rolling. I think it came out unrated in the states, but it may have gotten NC-17.

Which also well describes publishing as an industry. There's a lot of amazing books out there, but there's a lot of mid-list and basement-level stuff as well. Sometimes you have to know where to look to find the good stuff.

I have been on the El is Chicago for exactly one weekend, and I must know: do the announcements still sound like David Caruso on CSI: Miami? "This...[me imagining his sunglasses during the pause]...is Grand."

Having been hit on from the left while wearing my wedding ring and reading a book on public transit, I genuinely can't believe anyone on the subway needs any help getting some stranger to talk to them about their interests.

Sadly, I will not be making it, but I just rewatched the Reefer Madness one on Hulu (I was in a theater for it), and it was fantastic.

I was gonna write something lengthy about the double-tool of all this, but it boils down to this: The day after your engagement/wedding, you're in the same relationship as the day before. The problems you might already have (or know you already have) don't magically disappear because the commitment got bigger either…

Do you wear pantalettes now?

Colin was with Tom's first wife, but I don't want to put the blame of this dickbaggery on the parents. This asshole's an adult and his decision to be seen as Chet Haze (god, it hurts every time I type it) is his to make. You can have perfectly fine parents and be a dickbag just as easily as you can have dickbag…

Given that Colin Hanks is not an entire Lowe's full of tools, I feel safe to assume that Chet is probably just a douche because he chose to wake up one day, look at the fact that his parents are respected and pretty universally loved and also known for being just good people according to all reports, and he decided…
