The future of investigative journalism is New York Magazine "getting to the bottom" of a cartoon frog on a unicycle.

Plus Living For Tomorrow, The Watterston Files and Southern Strong.

Go Lie Down, Internet.

Unless Bing Crosby was into ear sex.

I might be the only person in the world with a Little Man Tate story, so I can't let this opportunity slide. The Chicago Tribune used to have a teen movie review panel, chosen by the editors of the entertainment section to basically be mini-Siskels for a year. My freshman year in high school, I entered and was picked…

Hello, I'm Peter Graves. Can you please direct me to the booze-atorium?

Yeah, the idea of three major leagues seems to be important, as it's said that the Patriot League has been somehow erased from history. Later in the book the commissioner of the Patriot League runs for President as a third-party candidate. One of the most important characters turns out to be kind of playing both sides…

The Great American Novel by Phillip Roth - It's about a fictional baseball team during WWII that is forced to spend an entire season as the road team due to its home park being used as a staging area for Allied troops. It's a comedy, but a pretty dark one at times, and a lot of that has to do with the racist and…

Now you and I both know you don't really want to know the answer to that. Because we already know it.

I would gladly listen to three hours of Bill Swersky’s Superfans afternoons from 1 to 4 for the next 10 years than ever have to hear Mike North’s nasal twang throwing angry-white-guy takes at me ever again. He’s the aural equivalent of plumber’s crack.

They’re not exactly all in the same exact place - Captain America and his team are all wanted fugitives after breaking out of prison. When Captain America can’t set foot in America anymore, that’s a big deal. And it doesn’t seem like Stark got any closer to forgiving Bucky, so as long as Cap is protecting him there’s…

I don't think it's silly to call people out for being assholes, even on the Internet, but I appreciate you explaining your position.

And good on you for that, seriously. But I don't think very many of the people disgusted at the behavior of this particular subset of "geek culture" are single-issue voters in the way you seem to be thinking. There are little problems and there are big problems, yes, but they're all on the same "to-do" list. It's…

My mom says I'm cool!

Nothing is going to ever fix those people. It's why they're making death threats against a guy for making a movie - they're broken children. If Ghostbusters makes $6 billion worldwide and inspires 12 sequels, those people will move on to something else and once in a while crow about how much smarter they were for "not…

Did you build your computer out of twigs or something?

So Daniel Tosh gets to be an asshole until Nike stops exploiting child labor overseas, Nike can exploit child labor until we stop someone else who is doing something worse, and that guy can keep doing that until we find and stop a guy who's doing something worse than that other guy…

One of these days I hope we find the One Terrible Thing that is objectively worse than everything else in the world. Once we know what that thing is, we can concentrate all of our disapproval on that thing and everything will be fine.

John Kasich was so offended by the movie “Fargo” that he called Blockbuster Video’s corporate office and demanded that it remove every copy of it from every one of its stores. Rather than realizing this made him look like a lunatic, he bragged about it in one of his books as an indicator of how strong his convictions…
