This brought back the faint memory of a slapstick comedy movie from (I’m gonna guess) the 80's that included a ballet performance where the male dancers all had absurdly large crotch bulges and stood in a row while a dancer flitted along them. Not Mel Brooks... somewhere in the Zuckerverse, maybe?

(Sorry this is beyond the direct question asked in the post, but supporting music venues and therefore bands by buying merch seemed related enough to the topic for me to say what I said... also, it’s just nice to talk to somebody, you know?)

I’ve always had more band/venue/pop culture tee shirts than I need, but I’ve really stepped things up in the past two months, augmenting my collection with tons more tee shirts... somehow even though my primary motivation is to make a donation, it feels “better” to get a tee shirt out of the deal. For the record, I…

Came here to confirm the AV Club commentariat, even in its diminished state relative to the good old days, was on top of this vis-a-vis Runaway.  Was not disappointed!

I read it as though she meant there was a power differential between the two hot guys doing each other. You know, where one of the guys is really, REALLY hot, like powerfully hot, and the other one is just sort of vanilla hot. And also one or both of them are Nazis, I guess.

Oh, they often skip the “arrest” part if you’re black.

Literally the only issue with that movie was its timeline was too far in the future.

Yeah, it put me in mind of that wonderful moment where Jane Lynch is describing her old kennel in “Best in Show” and Jennifer Coolidge looks at the camera and says flatly, “It was a shitbox.”

Well, they’ve had people telling them they’ve been molested by liberals for two generations now. Though the actual molestation has been perpetrated by the corporate overlords of the people who they’ve been voting for that whole time.

I honestly don’t know. With so many artists doing some form of live streaming already, just to keep themselves afloat, it’s difficult for me to see how that model could be extended to benefit venues as well. Bearing in mind that as I understand it, venues make most of their money from booze sales (alas, alcohol is the…

My joke not so good.

Big live music person here — it’s pretty much my favorite thing — so for almost two months this has been my biggest concern outside of the “essential” things (people’s lives, the economy, the nation and world, that sort of stuff). I can’t imagine standing shoulder to shoulder, or sitting down in standard theater…

Yeah, right, as if this dude has seven dollars.

I called this!!! Well, sort of. A few years ago Tom Cruise was building excitement about a new project, saying some of its stunts would be utterly mind-blowing and WAY beyond anything that he or anybody else had done prior, and I speculated that it would be something filmed in space. I have no idea what that movie…

God damn I love this.

Excellent point! I guess on first read I just pictured, you know, a pile of fresh veggies atop a pizza pie, since fresh veg would be presumed to have “the most nutritional value” to follow the line of thinking in the quote.

Yeah, plus “loads of veggies” means a soggy-ass pie, in my experience. Veggies go in the salad you have alongside your pizza!

And that homeless guy moved into the White House when he became the 45th president of the United States.  And now you know... the rest of the story.

“You’ve come a long way, baby.”

Hanks/Scolari 2020.  It’s not too late!
