they got rid of Coupling? I haven't noticed it was missing from my queue yet. Fuckin hell.

can we lock the Netflix and HBO execs and their lawyers in a room and tell them to work it the fuck out, because is there really any good reason I shouldn't be able to watch Jon Oliver and Game Of Thrones on Netflix? I know, I know, licensing, but for fucks sake...

oh, fuck, that movie! I still don't understand how I watched it all the way to the end.

regardless of what it means, I find this is usually what people say when they want to feel better about being a cheap bastard when it comes to food. Good food tastes good and is not cheap. I'm not saying we all have to spend four figures on dinner every night, but I don't understand people who claim to not derive any…

I've been to Jaleo and it was great, the closest to a real tapas bar experience I've had here in the States.

if you're not allergic to shellfish, it's possible you may have had a bad scallop! But really, if it's an allergy, or just something you don't like, most fine dining places will be very accommodating if you make reasonable requests and are polite about it.

is Eleven Madison really that great, or, actually, let me rephrase that: worth the very high prices under the new owners? I tried to get a table back at Christmas time, and was actually not too disappointed when I couldn't because I think it's bordering on absurd what they're charging now. I'be eaten at some of Danny…

yeah. I never pass up on opportunity to take the piss out of Breadstix 'r Us, but I will say I give them some credit for not allowing you to work if you're ill. Still won't eat their ridiculous food, though.

he already does pretty well on all of those things, to be fair.

I think Pinkham will literally kill him.

I wondered about this. I was there last year and some maps said its in Normandy, some in Brittany. Beautiful place, regardless.

in all honesty, I doubt Bubba gets his coffee at Starbucks, but your point is taken.

kind of unrelated, but do you want to hear something messed up? During my later years of high school, my father had a new manager at work, an attractive woman in her late thirties or forties. She was very complimentary of his work and this apparently made my mother jealous. It started out innocently enough, my mom…

just out of curiosity, is tipping not done in Japan because it's seen as insulting, like "I don't need your charity?" I heard something similar in France, I still tipped there, but usually just small amounts.

As Charlie on The Newsroom said "Somebody else fell down. You didn't get taller."

that's a good point, I sometimes tip at coffee shops or places with counter service, but it creates a lot of anxiety when I don't, which is problematic now that I tend to pay by debit card and hardly ever carry cash any more. In restaurants here in the States I generally tip 20% or more if the service is good,…

I sometimes get Harvey Keitel and Dennis Hopper mixed up, but does it really matter? They're both rad. I mention Harvey Keitel because he straightens Mr. Pink out on the subject of tipping in that scene.

what's wrong with working 4 days a week?

I don't think he actually went into the black hole, I think the future humans opened a wormhole for him at that moment and sent him into the tesseract. If he had actually gone into the black hole, he would have been killed, no?

I normally don't like McConaughey, but he absolutely was the right guy for this role. See it. It's brilliant.
