When I was a kid, I lucked into the opportunity to go to Hanna-Barbera Land, a (very) short-lived theme park outside of Houston. If only they had gotten Herzog to film commercials for them, they might still be open:

The only benefit I can see is being able to drink beer, with others thinking you’re drinking water.  Good for the raging alcoholics of the world!

Yeah, I love orange slices!

Right? I mean, the last one that I remember anyone really talking about or having any interest in seeing was Vicky Christina Barcelona, which was a full decade ago, and even that one was an outlier after years of people generally being uninterested. I was once a big fan of his movies, and even (ashamedly, in…

The 1993 soundtrack to Judgment Night also deserves a mention as a key foudnational stone of the rap/rock explosion a few years later; it featured a LOT of unexpected combinations between rap and rock artists. (Teenage Fanclub and De La Soul?!? Sonic Youth and Cypress Hill?!? Dinosaur Jr. and Del the Funky…

True, not “hypoallergenic,” but there are breeds that are far better for allergy sufferers than others - specifically, dogs that don’t shed, or shed very little. I’ve had great success with wire-haired fox terriers and schnauzers, whereas five minutes around, say, a Labrador Retriever, and I’m a snivelling mess.

Goddamn, there are SO many reasons why a restaurant would be willing (and right) to ban dogs. And I say this as a dog-lover, who has had dogs for decades, and loves my dogs very much:

Then take the dog on some long walks - not to restaurants, grocery stores, and the like.

He should have seen the special man.

I’m with you; I’ve always found myself most attracted to women my own age, and that holds true even now as I’m in my early 40s. Some of it is down to non-physical reasons, of course - there’s just an easier ability to have a magnetic pull towards someone who has some shared life experiences, and with whom you can…

In my experience, they will give you vouchers based on the amount of time you’re delayed due to a cancellation; I think it’s $50 or $100 per hour, but forget which.

Toto’s original take on “Africa” sucked, and I have a mix of pity and hatred for the people who decided to bring it back into the popular consciousness. Weezer has also, for the most part (I’ll give ‘em the Blue album and Pinkerton, and about 1/3 of the green album) largely sucked. Yes, I’m a crabby old fart who…

She’s absolutely brilliant. A helluva guitar player (her shredding abilities are severely underrated) who writes some truly incredible songs. 

When I was a high school dipshit, I had a job working at our local amusement park. Sometimes after the park closed, my idiot coworkers and I had fire extinguisher fights, and, I can confirm that, yeah, it’s extremely unpleasant to be sprayed with that poweder. But hey, none of us died!

Yeah, I can get behind that sentiment. I eat at Applebee’s about once a month, thanks to my dad - I take him out for lunch every week, and seeing as he lives in a small town with three sit-down dining options he’s willing to go to (why oh why can’t he like Tex Mex?), and one of them is Applebee’s, we go there more…

The Special Edition Red was a limited edition run, and I think they’re pretty much sold out. There were some issues with porcelin chipping on the red ones, though, so you’re just as well going with the tried and true black.

And here I was thinking this would be all about Jean Cocteau’s amazing 1946 version of the fairy tale...

I’m late to the party here, but Victoire Thivisol in Ponette certainly belongs on the list. She was only four, and turned in a jaw-dropping performance portraying a young child who survives a car crash that kills her mother. Of course, Jacques Doillon’s directorial methods in bringing about the performance were a…

Nah, here’s what you need:
