Most adults hear a place has an “anything goes” policy and they know that that’s a sensationalist marketing technique and you are expected to behave with some degree of decorum. Assuming that this is a sex club, anything goes in those environments = “sure, hop in a sling and have your partner(s) shove everything and…

There’s also a weird thing where people don’t “hear” a voice in their head when they read or write. They can do both just fine, but they don’t actually speak the words to themselves in their heads, they just go by sight.

Prints and lithographs are pretty good investments. Especially since paintings and sculptures are so finite. You could be worth billions and probably never have the opportunity to own a Goya painting, but you can own one of his lithographs. The only artist I can think of where lithographs might be a bad investment is…

Dude, his work is critically reviled and - if you want look at it from the sales side - we have Hirst’s word that he’s raking in $200 - 300 million a show, but he’s never produced the receipts. And at auction, the pieces that are supposed to be important aren’t reaching the estimated sales figures.
He came along, he…

I know about art and - while I haven’t kept up with the other YBAs like Emin’s prices - I can tell you that Damian Hirst’s prices have been plummeting for about a decade now. To the point he’s gone full Trump by making private sales, then saying they were for a bajillion dollars but not showing the receipts to back it…

This film isn’t as juvenile as its predecessor, however; it’s an earnest attempt at creating an original, adult fantasy universe that adds shades of Game Of Thrones to the style of legendary French comics artist Philippe Druillet.

This isn’t even that new of an idea. If I remember right, there were plans to do follow-ups to both Clarissa Explains It All and That’s So Raven that would have aired on network television and targeted the older teens who had watched the earlier cable versions, but Melissa Joan Hart had already singed on to Sabrina…

Except The Mandalorian is the best thing to come out of live-action Star Wars since the Original Trilogy. Probably because it’s being made by people who seem to enjoy Star Wars and not just trying to setup Mystery Boxes or subvert expectations.

Can grill a mean Steamed Ham though.

I think Sarah Gilbert just left because she was having trouble juggling her hosting duties and The Conners but she’s also the shows creator and producer, so she’s still involved behind the scenes.

My theory is: The show’s been on long enough that members for the writing staff actually grew up with it and are focused on the more down to earth side instead of a just wacky adventures. Like one of the more recent well received episodes focused on Comic Book Guy’s anxiety at the prospect of starting a family.

My…

My understanding is that Mike Judge feels the same way and has said that he’d only agree to a reboot if they let him do a time jump so Bobby and his friends are high school age and let the show have more progression  without the characters being stuck frozen in time.

I really don’t see any way this could be anything but depressing. Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty are dead.

Ironically, part of Moore’s issues with the film is that V isn’t meant to be glorified. The reader is supposed to, at least somewhat, feel disgusted by V’s actions and wonder if he’s not as bad as the institution that he’s fighting against. He intentionally destroys the lives of innocent bystanders as a means to an…

Yeeeaaah... I’d still rather those tax dollars go to things like schools, infrastructure, healthcare, helping the poor... Even your defense of this is just a bunch of “what ifs...” and “well if you were tos...” it - at this moment in time - an inconvenient technology with no real world applications and we have much…

I get the feeling the writers planned it to be longer but Disney gave them a heads up that this was the last season and they needed to wrap it up. The showrunner unceremoniously announced the showing ending on Twitter and sort of called Disney out for not letting fans know that this was the last season.

Didn’t she also write some classic mid-20th-Century plays and wind up blacklisted from Hollywood due to communist sympathies?

It won’t disappoint the people who campaigned for it, no matter the quality. It’s just the point we’ve reach in our (ugh) society. People who are passionate about something will double-down that that thing is the best thing ever and anyone who disagrees has an irrational hatred that clouds their judgement. If The…

They did come up with convoluted ways of making the comics match the movies though. That often involves retconning, which is basically changing the comic to be more like the movie. Most recently was making it so Wanda and Pietro aren’t Mutants and Magneto isn’t their father - which itself was a popular retcon - just…

They rereleased the Ghostbusters, Slimer, and Staypuft last year. I remember seeing people who ordered them online complaining about how bad Walmart’s shipping is and their cards getting ridiculously bent out of shape.
