Robin had me as soon as she called Steve a “dingus” and whipped out her “You rule/You suck” whiteboard.

Since I don’t particularly wish to reply to a bunch of commenters who haven’t managed to work themselves out of the greys yet: Yes, I understand that is the point. That’s why I deemed it “amusing”.

“But... Tammy Thompson? She’s such a dud.” I’ve never loved Steve Harrington—easily my favorite character in a crowded ensemble—more than I did in that moment.

I find the idea of the Soviets having a fraction of the necessary funds to pull this off amusing, when we know in hindsight that like, they didn’t even have working tanks or enough guns for everyone in the Red Army. The show is portraying them as the evil superpower we thought they were in 1985.

Nah mang, this is south Louisiana—those shots with mountains in them were NOT filmed here—and they’d be flooded like, constantly. We keep our rainwater above ground in ditches and coulees, where whatever doesn’t soak in the ground can be channeled into bayous and rivers.

I haven’t seen it since it first came out on video, and even then I was only watching it for the novelty of seeing something filmed where I spent my summer vacations (I only moved there myself 10 years ago). Maybe I’ll watch it tonight—I watched Dead & Buried last night, because it was the only movie on this list I…

Also if you watch the remake of The Blob, you will see some nice shots of the town I live in.

As much as I find the “sport” of competitive eating to be weirdly fascinating, I unfortunately also find the sight of those guys pounding down wet hot dogs to be nausea-inducing. Also, I like Nathan’s hot dogs and would hate to have them ruined for me. Reluctant pass.

Extremities sounds interesting, although I wonder if they’ll touch on the fact that basically everybody who lives on the island was apparently either the perpetrator or victim of sexual assault about 15 years ago. Hopefully that’s not still true. Also, stamps and mail (something about their post office being the…

I haven’t watched a James Bond movie since I was about 12 (I am now 44) so I don’t really have a dog in the hunt, but I kind of want to see Idris Elba get the role just to piss off all the right people. Plus, it would make my mother happy, because she’s been in love with Elba since he was Stringer Bell. (Yes, my…

He’s wearing giant granny panties, so yeah, no way was that scene meant to be seen as actually threatening or serious. There was 0% chance he was actually going to rape Maria Conchita Alonso.

Who else is watching Los Espookys? AV Club isn’t covering it and I really want to hear opinions on it.

In perhaps related news, I was just invited to join a Facebook group named “Mildly Offensive Fiber Artists Who Aren’t Bigots”. (I cross stitch and embroider and sometimes use the F-word in my pieces.)

The only thing funnier than asshole conservative men shaking their fingers at feminists for not cheerleading a conservative quisling bitch helping to prop up an administration that goes against everything feminism espouses, is those same asshole conservative men immediately getting #MeToo’d when they do it.

I somehow missed seeing Empire Records, even though I was a 20-year-old stoner living in the Bay Area (an epicenter of independent music stores) when it came out. I always feel kind of sad and left out when people post memes about “Rex Manning Day” and or whatever. But watching it as a grizzled 44-year-old seems even…

I vote we all sign their dumb ass petition with links to Crowley/Aziraphale slashfic, which I know without even having to check is a thing that for sure exists.

I never really understand what it means when people accuse a movie of being “slow”. I mean, no there aren’t any car chases or explosions or superheroes fighting each other. But I can say I wasn’t bored by it.

He was really good in Lost City of Z, which was also the only great performance I’ve ever seen Charlie Hunnam turn in. And without spoiling anything, I will say they really nailed the ambiguous ending (no one knows WTF actually happened to Percy Fawcett).

Oh my god, you’re right. CAN NOT UNSEE!

He said, everyone who’s ever worked with me will say that it was the best experience of their life.
