This. Atypical for sure, but that doesn’t mean untrue.

1. He and McDairmid were the best parts of the prequels.

I think you’re spot on. The (bare) paper goods aisle at my store (HEB) is basically two tall shelves for those 12/24 packs.  I can’t even think of the last time i saw a four-pack.

Good article. Anytime I read about someone possibly “selling out” or betraying the cause I think of the music jagoffs in the 80s wanking themselves over whether R.E.M. sold out with Fables of The Reconstruction or Lifes Rich Pageant.

Texan here, yep don’t know this hurts or helps but this is far from the first time Mr Patrick has talked out of his ass.

Yeah, I always loved her in LOST (and Ant-Man), but TIL that horrible misspelling is more of a turn-off for me than bad pandemic takes.

Old saying here in Texas — first rule of holes: when you find yourself in one, stop digging.*

1. My phone tripped up on “dove”, the bird, vs. “dove”, the past tense of “dive” the other day. I used to LOL at the phone, but as I get older I realize how the hell anyone learns English is beyond me.

Wedged in among my Soundgarden and Jane’s Addiction discs is a treasured copy of So Tonight That I Might See, that I still listen to (and will probably do so in the coming days).

She’s got a pretty face but oof she’s got to turn it down a notch...

“Burnout” is probably too strong a word, but I know the feeling.  Great observation -- Endgame / Far From Home were a nice conclusion / coda.

There’s a Beavis & Butt-head joke in there, too...

Say what you will about the MCU (I love it, but I acknowledge the formula / house style), Feige & co. at least crafted a consistent, cohesive universe.

So I went to high school about 2 hrs east of Barbers Hill, graduated roughly thirty years ago, and we had the same dress code. And yes it was already about 25 years old then because of those damn hippies.

As someone who was a high school sophomore in 1986, it’s a little... strange to hear applause at a rocket blowing up.

LOL I dropped out of MBA school but I did manage to pay attention to the “don’t insult your customers” lecture in Marketing...

I know that’s not Phil Hartman, but that totally sounds like Phil Hartman (as Lionel Hutz).

He retroactively undercut TFA ... and he left no narrative legs for RoS

Same. Oddly enough, I do it least w/ food items (but I still do it). But get me in a book store or a record store (where they still exist), and oh yeah I’m finding that perfect copy, thankyouverymuch.
