Bar napkins work just fine as a coaster and not the fancy ones with the ridges. Just sprinkle some salt on the napkin and your beer won’t stick to it.

If you can provide a direct link to the Jethro Tull Metal Grammy with the rise of Limp Bizkit, JNCO raver pants, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Oxygen bars and chain wallet popularity, your thesis will be correct.

I see what you did there

Bravo to you for that last sentence sir. I think I like it even better since you didn’t capitalize the key words.

Question for even olders: Currently late 20's, why do the 80's seem like the last “classic” decade? It seems like every era preceding it had it’s own ridiculous style, and then the 90's happened and we really don't seem to have changed much since then. Is this how it really played out or am I just old enough now that…

Nobody missed the point, because you haven’t presented any salient points other than a general nihilism about Hollywood and how movies get made.

Were it not for the closing statements about Deadpool, this would be a pretty solid piece, but with them it comes across as poorly researched. The comments about Deadpool betray the your distinct lack of knowledge of the film’s developmental history.

Don’t forget his long relationship with Alanis Morissette

Yes, and appreciate Reynold’s enthusiasm for the character.

For the majority of us who have been anticipating this film forever, we do not root for Ryan Reynolds, per se. We root for Deadpool, and accept Reynolds as a great choice for the character we know. And the movie looks VERY good, from a fan perspective.

Irony - After numerous movies where the only thing appealing about them was his charm and attractiveness, Deadpool will likely be successful and it has nothing to do with how Ryan Reynolds looks.

You forget...people aren’t going to this film to see Ryan Reynolds. They’re going because GODDAMN DEADPOOL MOVIE. And they’re hoping it makes up for how Deadpool was mishandled in the 2009 Wolverine flick.

All the stars for Movies - one of my favorites of all time.

I played “Santa Monica” into the ground.

This appears to be a list of mid-level bands who appeared on “Yo Gabba Gabba” at certain points during the show’s five-year run.

Just last week I remembered Our Lady Peace. Remember those guys? Probably been a decade since I’d listened to them.

Barenaked Ladies

Excellent, terrifying points. I am, however, glad there exists an opportunity for discourse on the oddities of aging in the comments section of an article with “Jambaroo” in the title.

Question: Do you think it’s easier to be in “Grumpy Old Man Phase” now than in previous decades? The new shit seems to rotate out almost quarterly with someone or something new always emerging due to the nearly unbridled access to publication. Did cultural trends stick around longer in the past thus making Grumpy Old…

So I’ve hit phase 3 of my life v. pop culture
