How long can we drag this out?  Either you liked the performance or you didn’t; either it ruined the movie for you or it didn’t.  It’s just shallow Cinema Sins hot-take criticism (see also:  holes, plot).  “Aha, I found one flaw with your critically-revered movie!  Now, I don’t have to think further about the merit of…

I got more dispatches from the Playdate Season 1 front!

Man, I get creeped-out by just how much like Max Payne he looks. I know he was the face model, but it’s just so uncanny. I can just imagine that face rendered in sixth-generation polygons.

On top of that, it’s a bit of a misdirect. We assume much worse (because she’s an old lady) until we see the protesters. She doesn’t actually care that they are gay (nor does she care all that much about what they are protesting), but she does care that they are stealing focus from their party.

Antoine Fuqua’s remake of the Kurosawa masterpiece The Magnificent Seven

If you have to use an app to get the food, it a trick, not a treat!

Probably.  Are you going to send me some?

I would say I was nasty well before I started enjoying black liquorice, thank you very much!

The AI doesn’t understand that they are two different people.

Nobody show these young fucks Inherit the Wind, OK? We’ll never hear the end of it.

Boy...slow news day, eh?

Personally, I’m fine with Panic Room. The allusion to Hitchcock is apt, as it is true to his advice on suspense: “Mystery is when the spectator knows less than the characters in the movie. Suspense is when the spectator knows more than the characters in the movie.” We are helpless observers with near-perfect knowledge…

Tipping is a dumb and exploitative practice that allows employers to underpay servers. There is no excuse for it. Abolish it and just pay servers a living wage!

Is this just about being cheap? In my area (Central MN), there are plenty of options for fish on Fridays: Catholic fellowships, bars, and restaurants.

I know you’re just catching a broad set of suggestions, but “A Nightmare on My Street” is pretty bad, even as a novelty single. If you want a rap song about a famous horror villain, you could always go with clipping’s “Say My Name”:

I was getting mighty tired of the “Simpin’* for Kang Hour”. Maybe it makes sense for a rogue AI to go all high-school jealous, but to see Renslayer, who has been known for exerting control and not being controlled, act that way felt a little wrong...and probably creepy, too, since he is sorta her employer.

Hard disagree on raw onions, but then again, I just don’t like raw onions in any context.  Biting into a raw onion is like getting a sudden blast of mace to the tongue; it just dominates the flavor of anything it is paired with.

Prepare for an egging or a TP-ing!

If they’d named this list “Most ‘Adult-Swim’ Adult Swim shows”, the ones that best represented the lo-fi, “inmates running the asylum” vibe that people tend to associate with Adult Swim, in which case ATHF, T&E,AJ!, and SG:CTC easily top that list (Home Movies always felt like a Comedy Central offcut*). But the list…

Why not? I’ll give him a solid argument to start off. He has been coming to this site for ages, before Disqus and even commenting as a site feature*, through several management/editorial regimes, and probably for a longer span of time than some of the current writers have been alive. He frequently bitches about the…
