Yes, the joke was a dud. But if he was improvising, I cut him some slack. A good host improvises on live TV. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Gotta take the bad with the good I guess. Otherwise we don’t get gems like Amy Schumer’s “I was backstage doing a costume change, did I miss anything?”

‘Twas ever thus. Same as reporting on how unhealthy fast food and soft drinks are, but the clickbait headlines just name check the most well-known brand. It’s always the same old punching bags.

I’ve always had a Windows PC and iPhones, though. I’ve never owned a Mac. Is that unusual?

I hope someone got fired for not making the kid blonder.

Oh dear. Then give it a new title. I have no problem with adaptations tweaking almost anything. But try to leave the original theme, the story’s reason for being, alone.

Yes I know, I was just reacting to the scene. I didn’t want to “dissect the frog”, so to speak.

Luke’s painfully obvious air kick is so distracting I had to watch that about 4 times until I noticed Fett in the background.

“Well dear, it’s an old trick I learned during The Depression. And no, that’s not why that time was also known as The Dirty Thirties, you smart-aleck”.

Scrolled all the way down into the greys for this. Yes, I thought it was ridiculously similar to Voyager’s opening credits. As if someone saw VOY’s credits once then tried to re-create it from memory.

Tango! But wait, there are two moons? What planet is he on?

The character “Joe Bookman” (library detective) from Seinfeld seems like a parody of Joe Friday amped up a few notches, where his utter disgust with non-conformity is freely expressed.

Try this with just about any fast food burger and fries. Most of them are loaded with sodium which acts as a preservative. It’s not really surprising they can easily dry out over time and not decompose. But sure let’s single out McD’s for clicks and giggles. 

Are pending comments not being reviewed and ungreyed lately? I just read the greyed comments, and most of them seem to add value to the discussion, and yet they continue to remain in limbo. It would be nice if I could read those more easily.

Interesting. In my home I have definitely noticed the example of a program guide with an integrated video window. When watching HDR content and I bring up the guide (with integrated video window), it looks… “weird”. The dynamic range of that content is altered from its usual optimal setting. So there is an actual…

You know those insipid “family windows stickers” on the backs of cars? There should be one for DINKS that shows a happy couple, maybe a couple of dogs, and a big fucking pile of money.

Good list.

Yeah, the whole “podcaster helping the small town cops solve a murder” thing is so cringey. Is this The CW?

Agreed, and even more bizarre is when Indy throws sand on it, the camera is pointing towards Indy from somewhere on the other end of the bridge. And yet the bridge is invisible from that perspective too.
