Penelope had become less and less interesting to me, **SPOILER ALERT** so I’m not looking forward to an arc with her at the mental hospital.

As much as I loved watching The Fountain when it came out in the theaters, I don’t think I can revisit that film.  There’s almost no humor and lots and lots of crying.  Even when it’s on cable, I can only stay with it for about 20 minutes before I have to change channels.

I’m with you on prosciutto, and would also throw in jamon serrano.

No way.  Corn dogs just remind me of sad, subsidized cafeteria school lunches in elementary school.  The taste of a corn dog is the taste of self-loathing.

They have always had a lot of commercial breaks on SNL.  They have to move sets around, get costumes changed, set up cameras, etc.

Our family Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions are to make two prime ribs (one rare, the other medium rare), a turkey, and I bring a Honeybaked ham (about 25-30 people show up). In that contest of proteins, the ham usually comes in third. But the ham gets redeemed when my aunt takes the hambone and makes congee for…

Just please do Dunk & Egg right. Those short stories were little nuggets of perfection, and each of them seemed to perfectly fall into a 2-hour TV-movie format.

It’s sad that McCurdy has given up acting, she had great comedic timing at such a young age.  I hope she returns, she really is gifted.  

I don’t think there are any rides at Disneyland scary enough to make me scream. I mean, maybe Splash Mountain?

Hey, it’s Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne sitting behind LA Story’s Richard E. Grant.

My default at chipotle is a chicken bowl, because their chicken is almost always plump and juicy. But I always take a quick look at the barbacoa. If it looks like it’s been swimming and marinating in its juices for many minutes, I’ll call an audible and switch to barbacoa.

Whenever I see that this movie is on, I have to watch to the point where Jonah Hill and Jillian Bell have their slugfest, with Jillian Bell then accusing Jonah Hill of going in for a kiss. That scene always cracks me up.

I’m usually one for weekly viewing, but I felt that one episode a week wasn’t enough for Wandavision. There just wasn’t enough happening week-to-week, a good portion of the middle episodes just felt like stalling.  Maybe if they released 2 episodes a week?  But then that would only give Disney+ about a month of…

I’m pretty sure I bought at least a portion of this limited series when I was a kid, that cover looks really familiar. It will be something to dredge up the next time I visit my parents.

You ain’t kidding.  He easily held his own next to Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula in Men of a Certain Age.  

One down. Now it’s time for Terriers.

So odd to see a younger Keri Russell not giving the Elizabeth-steely-eyed glare.

Before I even start reading this article:

If Dolly Parton had been born a couple of thousand years ago, she would have been deified.  Many wars would have been fought in her name.  Because we are assholes that don’t deserve her.
