“Any time anyone complains that today’s blockbusters are soulless, samey, hollow effects movies, force them to sit through the unholy trinity of Twister, Mission: Impossible, and Independence Day.”

Funny, I’ve always disliked Wiig even though she’s clearly talented - couldn’t get into her in SNL, didn’t like Bridesmaids. But I really enjoyed Barb and Star, it felt like a modern Bill and Ted or Wayne’s World, and I laughed a bunch and was smiling through the whole thing. Just depends how things hit you with…

In my day, it took an entire year for a movie to hit VHS and we hated liked it!

It was wild to see a naked man put himself into the bed of this unconscious person and then attempt to lock production out of the cabin when confronted. Don't believe his "I can't remember anything" excuse for a second. This ep was chilling.

Over 60% of Americans own homes. Also the middle class used to have no problem buying homes when wages were fairer, before actual elites in executive roles were given carte blanche to steal their labor again.

Funniest line of the episode (and maybe the season) was Shea Whigham: “He went to find some titty”.

He’s voiced by an actual 15-year-old. You’re thrown off because you’re used to the Turtles being voice acted by grown men in their 30's.

“The state doesn’t disclose precisely where all the fatalities are happening, or whether these are occurring along what we could call the Texas Autobahn near Austin.”

It’s distracted meatheads in gigantic vehicles driving like fools. It’s really not complex. 

Some 25 years ago, i drove from DFW to Austin and jt was 80-95moh almost the whole way, across multiple lanes. The biggest hazards were people poking along at 50-55mph. Speed wasn’t responsible for accidents, but speed differentials were!

You must have been born before after 1999.  There was no way you could escape it in 1997.

Literally the first two words of the song are “She said.”
But, just like in the 90's nobody paid attention to the opener and since a dude was singing it it was assumed it was from his perspective.

This needle generated one of the biggest laughs in the entire film from my audience, along with the Midge gag, the Justice League bit and the final line. 

What? Isn’t the entire procedure obvious? You dump the avocados in a bin, they get fed into a box, you see absolutely nothing that happens in the box, and a bowl of peeled, halved, avocados magically appear in a bowl in a drawer! What more do you need?

I used to do this job, and if you think we're inspecting the avocados and only using the best, ripest ones I have some bad news for you...

To be fair, if you’re eating at a Chipotle, you’re not actually worried about eating shitty food.

It’s like there are two phases of MI films: 1-3 seemed like they functioned in the same general genre and are perfectly fine, then the franchise found its footing from 4-present and became the standard bearer for action films.

The third was where they actually started getting good, and have only accelerated in that direction since.

There are clear examples of grooming in this situation. It’s definitely a term that’s been loaded and misused in a lot of situations, but being in communication with an underaged fan and sending him underwear and asking sexual questions falls squarely under the term.
