I immediately thought of Four Seasons Total Landscaping. 

I personally think marvel has just had a real run of stinkers lately, and the fact that the shows usually fall off about half way through has to be a factor in this. I think we might be hitting the marvel tipping point

That’s giving Elvis too much credit. Seriously.

It’s funny, I didn’t start watching BB until right as it was ending, so I binged through the first four and a half seasons; as such I’d never been exposed to the misogynistic “Skyler sucks!” meme, and didn’t even know about it until after I finished watching the show. And I never once had felt like she was getting in…

I got fired from the frozen orange juice company because I couldn’t concentrate.

You have a higher chance of going to Hawaii and getting attacked by Ezra Miller than you do getting attacked by a shark.

This year’s curator of the Oscar In Memoriam list?  That’s right, Frank Stallone.

The ukulele version of Somewhere over the Rainbow.

Someone that was born in America but spent their entire life in Spain, for instance, is NOT allowed to speak Spanish or have a Spanish accent, because that would obviously be cultural appropriation.

I don’t see what everyone’s problem with Amazon is. Their selection is amazing and at such low, low prices!

On the one hand, this is Barsanti being Barsanti. On the other hand, as job titles go, “lightning technician” sounds pretty damn metal.

When your public statement sounds like something a child would say when questioned why all the cookies were eaten, you may wish to rethink your life.

I’m trying to finish this movie. I keep pausing it and getting back to it when I finished doing other things that kept my attention better. Visually it’s awesome. And like Blade Runner 2049, I can see Denis Villeneuve putting in the same effort and passion into this. It’s being clever on world building and which…

It sure is a spectacle, but a hollow one. My eyes were awed but my brain was sleeping, and so was my heart. I had so little emotional connection to anything happening on the screen, and while the pace is slow I felt it very rushed with how much had been left unexplained or left out altogether.

For the die hards there was a noticable difference. Ride the Lightning came out when I was in elementary school and sold me on Metallica and metal in general. Master of Puppets in HS was arguable just as good or better. Justice was a little bit of a slip for me, but still pretty good.  When the black album came out in…

If you don’t want to see Bond use the roof of his rocket sled to windsurf an arctic tidal wave caused by a glacier collapsing due to a satellite laser from space chasing him across the ice, do you even really want to see a Bond movie?

Yeah, after Kevin Arnold found the dead body by the railroad tracks and pulled a gun on Kiefer Sutherland everything in the rest of the show seemed kind of anticlimactic.

Yeah if you name your kid Daniel in a Daniel-oppressed world, that’s just throwing them to the lions!

Tom, all three of these series of columns have been appointment reading for me the last few years. I really hope you've got another one in the works. Otherwise, I'll have to go back and start Age of Violence over again.

Getting extremely mad that the Best Salsa Grammy didn’t go to Rick Bayless.
