My lukewarm take:

Rock on, Chicago!

Lately, I’ve been using the Simple Therapy app regularly to help exercise my core as a way to relieve lower back pain and I keep running into a perplexing prompt not covered here:  “Extend your spine”.  From context, I assume the video instructor means to stretch my upper back upwards and backwards a bit, but it never

If the AVC couldn’t ride to hype cycle, what would they do for content? Substantive, thoughtful essays? Coverage of unseen (non-Thor) media that perhaps needs voices to champion it?  What kind of crazy site would do that?  In this (attention) economy?

...which was inferior in every way to Parker Lewis can’t Lose.

Another fun delusion: “There’s no way my kid would steal booze from my liquor cabinet/steal prescription drugs from the medicine cabinet, either because 1) I count them or mark the levels or 2)they’re such good kids!”

I seem to remember a MN Top 40 station doing a stunt like this with Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over”. I had no idea what was going on—still not 100% sure whether it was a protest due to a shake-up at the station or a publicity stunt like this one—but I just kept listening out of stubborn belief that the next

That area of the country didn’t even get extradimensional monsters until ‘88!  Get your facts straight, Duffer Bros.!

A bit too much, if you ask me.

First, it should be visually appealing—the type of thing that your guests will want to Instagram

Have you tried Hollow Knight? It’s what all the cool kids are playing! (Source: a 49-yr-old man on the internet)

I presume you meant PS4, not PS3:

I don’t have much to add to this list, because Elden Ring has consumed so much of my scant free time. My playthrough looks to be heading in the direction of endgame, but then again, I thought that a long time ago when one of the NPCs told me to stop messing around and become Elden Lord already. As long as it keeps

As reported by Comic Book Resources, the commentary track for Multiverse Of Madness features a moment where Raimi notes that Krasinski playing Reed Richards was a decision made by Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige and that it was specifically done because “fans had a dream of who the perfect Reed Richards would be”

I think I’ll wait and see on this season of Westworld. The last season had a lot of promise going in--let’s expand the scope of our story--but it just ended up slavishly following the same damn recurring characters with some reiteration of the same ideas.  

What’s the beef with Barsanti anyway? I’ve honestly lost track of all the petty gripes around here. I’ve seen commenters bitching about Hughes in other areas of the site for unclear reasons.

Ummm...they were there when I got here?  I don’t know how it got there?  I was holding them for a friend?

Omsom is all over my Facebook feed; I am stunned I haven’t impulse-bought a bunch of their stuff yet. In fact, I think Facebook is pretty close to figuring out to just exclusively target me with food and booze ads.

Huh...that’s probably the one that gave me nightmares when I was a kid.

And the villain for the unproduced 8th season:  Kinja!
