Man, what a bummer. We’ve lost a glorious, amazing weirdo.

I finally replaced my flat roof last year, and the difference between “layers upon layers of black tarpaper and rubber” and “half inch insulation, rubber layer, silver paint” was ENORMOUS. Easily a 15 degree drop in the summer time.

It’s a weird choice to send in an audition tape where fully half of it is the actor facing away from the camera. “Look at my awesome back acting!!” 

Every week: “Weekend Update, for the 5,000th consecutive episode, failed to deliver razor-sharp, Pulitzer-worthy political commentary, which I continue to expect for some reason. I’m deeply disappointed that SNL continues not to do a thing it has never, ever tried to do.” 

It’s hard to have a new character show up in the final season with a completely different comic vibe and just fit PERFECTLY.

I think that not having a “capstone event” is intentional, though. The worst thing they could’ve done to follow up Endgame was to try to immediately start some new BIG FUCKING THING right away. They needed time to settle down. Sure, the pandemic made a mess of things, but in a way it worked towards what they were…

I saw the header picture on the left and thought, “Holy shit, what happened to Rob Lowe?” 

Precisely.

The original Hocus Pocus is neither overrated or underrated, it’s just one of those movies that 100%, perfectly hits the pre-teen girls’ Halloween sleepover crowd. It’s “scary” in a “won’t give your four year old little sister nightmares” kind of way, and it’s campy and fun enough that it won’t make the adults in the…

I loved the tiny mention of increasing security due to the ramp-up of construction on Scariff.

It was definitely bizarre that all the neighborhood kids kept hanging out at the parents’ house of the dude who left town. My basement was the place we all hung out in High School, too, but my friends didn’t keep hanging around my parents’ house after I went to college.

My immediate thought: “Great, we just poked the outer-space dragons.”

The Snyder Cut, while unnecessary, still serves a purpose. It’s really long and overstuffed, but it does hold together as a coherent story far, far better than the Whedon version.

The first episode moved at a decent clip. The second really kinda dragged, though. It seemed like the same conversation six or seven times and a lot of meaningless busywork. The third ep got where we needed to be, though. 

Yup. And if you look it up the scientific consensus is basically the shrug emoji.

I ran across it maybe a year ago, and yeah, it definitely counts as trashy fun. And it’s really trashy. What saves it is that the cast is absurdly overqualified. People call it a Tarantino knockoff. While that’s ABSOLUTELY why it got greenlit, it’s really more of a soft-core porn Elmore Leonard knockoff, like a Cinema…

I love that they showed the “refresher” in The Mandalorian with all sorts of attachments and adapters to account for the different ways all the different species might have to take a shit. 

He’s single, famous, and looks like Andrew Garfield. I’m guessing the dude has sex four or five times on the way to get a gallon of milk.

His real name is Ed Hardy?
