I think the commenter’s point was that “Return of the King” was, you might say, a “genre” movie and therefore an unlikely winner of Best Picture. Just as a comic book movie would be an unlikely winner, were one ever to take Best Picture honors.

A crowd shot, just a few seconds in, showed what looked like every other person in attendance, holding their fucking mobile phones high up in the air to capture video. This to me is hell. As someone who loves seeing live music, on my list of during-a-show grievances this appalling behavior is right up at the top, along…

Liver & bourbon, comin’ right up!

Didn’t I just read a comment up here complaining about how Rhea Perlman ought to be getting more work, because she is an absolute treasure? I agree, and I’m glad to see her name here.  Sis-boom-bah indeed!

I was delighted to see him, as I mentioned, but the set just didn’t go off the way I’d hoped. It felt like they hadn’t rehearsed a whole lot, and given that it was just the two of them, that made for a lot of moments that just felt... out of sync. My girlfriend agreed, it just felt a little off.  Though there were…

Several times recently, in planning office happy hours, colleagues have misspelled the name of local brewpub Rogue as Rouge, which is the name of a nearby gentlemen’s club.

I think that’s a threesome “and one”.

I had a big and unusually spicy bowl of chili for lunch, so I’m headed for an Olympic Movement myself here shortly. Who knows, maybe a record-breaker!

Exploding cars, on gigantic bridges, constantly?!? Good grief, Florida.

Wow, thanks for the info. Not that I’ve exactly had my ear to the ground, but I hadn’t heard about any of that.

Her songs were really not good. One would have been more than enough.

Along with some reading I did about the Lewis & Clark Exposition (Portland, OR’s world fair a decade after Chicago’s), it made me genuinely wish I had been able to visit the fair.  Though not as a young, single woman.

I’m picturing the tables at my local game store, only dusted with powered sugar and cinnamon, with maybe a few spots of jelly and creme here and there.  Let’s play!

What was she butthurt about?

Just curious what you mean by “it’s actually worse”.  What’s worse than it was before pot was “legalized”?

...and watching Jennifer Lawrence play all of Steve Buscemi’s movie roles!
