How does this leave out his one real sci-fi movie, Predators? (Which was pretty solid, despite the tired premise)

Boorman was so damn good. And the trolls were surprising bright spots, they felt like they fell out of an episode of Angel or something. 

Seriously, I came into this review looking for you to lay big piles of shit all over everything that they did (even though I enjoyed this trailer thoroughly). But to be honest, I’m not disappointed. Majors looks awesome and I’d watch Paul Rudd do almost anything at this point in my sad little life. 

Sweet, Christ. That’s grim, but I think I’m with you there. 

Black Adam wasn’t a BAD mindless action flick. I liked the anti-colonial message and thought that they did a good job with the regular human characters. However, the team was a weak point. They literally lacked chemistry and also felt like poorly differentiated versions of popular Marvel characters mashed together

I don’t even fully get what Affleck’s Batman was good for. Despite his gadgetiness, he’s not a credible challenge to any of the superpowered individuals he teams with or faces. In fact, really the only non-animated version of Batman who feels sufficiently badass was the one portrayed in the Titans series, and he’s

I was also torn initially, but now I’m totally on board with your cynical analysis too (possibly because I was really disappointed by Thor). I hope they let you do all of the Marvel trailer reviews from this point on.

I’m going to just read this as a Bruce Campbell reference

Yes. The one benefit of a grill pan I’ve found is that it raises the meat above the fat and juices. I currently only use it for small spatchcocked chickens and roasts, but as my diet is 90% vegetarian and my family is exceedingly picky, the pan mostly just collects dust.

For years, AT&T has made ostensibly idiotic decisions in hopes that future synergies will save its ass while its legacy business crumbles around it.

Right? As though we’re not already used to missing out on content on other streaming services?

Jesus, that’s diabolical and clever. I’ve argued that financing and cheap debt has been an underappreciated agent of our doom, but that takes it to another level. 

I make a mushroom bruschetta that’s kind of like this. My trick is to slowly saute the mushrooms, shallots/onions and garlic in oil until they release their moisture, then I add a reasonable splash of soy sauce, a pinch of sugar, and a touch of balsamic vinegar. As this reduces down into a glaze, I might throw some

I’m still bitter that they took away Picasa. 

Hookworms and bot flies would have been a nice addition to the list! 

You do realize that most of Europe and significant chunks of Asia have largely blunted the epidemic using standard public health measures, right? It’s not an impossible task when you have leadership and follow scientific guidelines.

If you have to implement a lockdown, it means you’ve screwed up so much that you can’t

Can we honor her (the first Karen of her name), by naming an entire sub-field of Karens after her?

I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but this seems even dumber and less interesting than bitmojis.

Some of these look fantastic.

We bought four chickens for 10 bucks. Technically it was more of a rescue than a purchase since they were among a flock of 100 that was going to be mulched up and turned into chicken fingers if someone didn’t collect them.
