It’s also the only place I’ve ever successfully ordered from a drive-thru in a foreign language. I’d already thought the telephone was tricky, but this was a whole new level.

If this is anyöne but “Weird Al,” you’re stealing his act!

I’ll have you know Il Signorino Giuseppe, upon listening to this song, just asked me why he (the singer) didn’t like Star Wars. Upon Googling it, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that AV Club had covered this topic.

Oh yeah. If I had all the time in the world, I’d prolly watch it. But we’re so far behind on everything that it’ll prolly take us until at least Christmas to finish Legends and Arrow, and then we still have last season’s Agents of SHIELD to finish, not to mention tracking down a way to watch Peggy Carter without it…

Needs a question mark in the title, and a female villain.

Another commenter (heck, mebbe it was you) told me to watch the crossover and the Grodd two-parter. Can you confirm? We’re a coupla episodes into Legends and Arrow, progressing without Flash for the first time ever.

But in the sixth and seventh, and to some extent the fifth, you lose all sense of Mid-World as a place with a fascinating history and its own people and culture. I like WotC, with its hints of how life was under the Gunslingers, the remnants of the previöus technologically advanced culture, and what is left. But then…

Happy because Hillary Clinton eventually became president???

I just read the short story last summer (along with the rest of Night Shift, which’d some great stuff in it, aside from the half-baked title story) and really liked it. Never seen either adaptation, tho.

That’s so weird. I loved the third book, but hated the (non-)ending, so as soon as I finished it I tore open W&G and read what should’ve been the end of TW. I did take a pretty long break between that and the flashback that makes up most of the rest of W&G.

For a long time, I legitimately had to remind myself of the difference between Spittle County (where Homer meets Lurlene and Fudd is constumed) and Cecil County. And I say this as a guy who enjoys some fish tacos at Northeast’s Nauti-Goose, while the sun sets over the Chesapeake.

Dragging so hard, it’s dragged the cheese under the sauce on their pizza!!! </extremely specific regional humor>

Trump loves those maps. He keeps talking about them. I get a very strong feeling that that’s why he feels like he must’ve won the popular vote!

Just… just beads

I know, right? What’re the chances that a candidate predicted to win in every poll could possibly lose?

I liked Sean Bean (my first exposure to him, after my parents had rented The Field when I was too young for it and I fell asleep during the opening credits after noting that his name should rhyme but didn’t), but that was more of a cold-war leftover villain, so I liked the new type of villain in TND more.

Good point. I was grading that one as a globe-trotting secret agent movie (not a large genre, I admit), but I brought up the others’ merits as action films. I do remember once really good (when judged against other action movies, not just martial arts movies) Hong-Kong-style warehouse fight, tho.

Tomorrow Never Dies was the best of the Brosnan Bonds. Perhaps that is damning with faint praise (the next two were some of the worst action movies I’ve ever seen), but I’d put it well above bearable, in the B+/A- range.

Definitely the one that would make me the most speechless. What could I possibly say?
