“We all know an action movie isn’t anywhere near as fun at home on the small screen with your dog barking in the background.”

Or those rental companies that sold off their fleets and didn’t have any cars when people started travelling again.

Who possibly thought this was a good idea? It makes the company look pathetic. 

Unless your definition of “local restaurant” is McDonald’s and “meal” is the dollar menu, then no you absolutely can not buy a meal at a restaurant for 6 dollars. 

The changes received a positive reaction because anyone would find it more pleasant. Harsh fluorescent lighting and the terrible music on most store playlists are bad. 

I worked in a grocery store in high school and college and a shocking number of people wait until around noon on Thanksgiving day to buy everything for the meal. Turkey included. The store was always mobbed until around 4 in the afternoon. 

It sounds like its an adaptation in name only since it sounds like absolutely nothing from the book was adapted other than the idea of setting it on a space lighthouse.

Its 95% boring, with brief moments of hilarious badness. Just watch a youtube montage of the “best” moments instead. 

“However, if the goal is to minimize a source of dining room disruption, why not ask patrons to leave rather than waiting until the end of the meal to enact a surcharge? Why devise a punishment rather than a more immediate solution?”

What is your pie crust recipe? I like to use the full butter one from the Four and Twenty Blackbirds cookbook, and that has never failed me even when I don’t blind bake it first.

If you go to a high end place you’re paying for the talent of the staff, the atmosphere, the rest of the experience. 

I don’t know how people got the impression that he’s some uneducated mook that only makes gangster movies. He’s got intelligent things to say about Edith Wharton and one of his all time favorite movies is Tales of Hoffman. His movies are about lots of different people and ideas. 

When I was younger you had adults swarming McDonald’s to get the mini beanie babies because they were convinced some mass produced stuffed animals were an investment. 

Yes dear, a man not liking your comic movies is exactly the same as world leaders threatening to nuke things. 

There’s a certain group who seem to have decided to make liking “nerd stuff”  the core of their personality. So even when its everywhere and THE dominant force in pop culture, any criticism of “nerd stuff” is a direct insult to them.

I would also feel comfortable betting my life savings that Scorsese knows a hell of a lot more about film history than the writer. 

The writer is also doing the thing that’s bizarrely common these days and conflating depicting something with endorsing it. You are not supposed to think Travis Bickel is the good guy. You are not supposed to think the characters in Goodfellas are good guys. 

Jesus you sound like a petty asshole. Take the fucking W, the thing you like totally dominates culture. Congrats. Why not be happy about it instead of throwing a damn tantrum any time someone isn’t worshipful of comic book movies?

I really don’t care either. There are a couple lines and a handful of noises, its hardly a fully realized performance. Someone else making a jump noise isn’t going to make a difference to me at all. If anything it will be better if they also retire the terrible parody accent. 

Gaming laptops can be a more practical choice than other kinds. When I was in the market for a new laptop, I needed one with the power to run data analysis, have a million tabs open, Photoshop, and every Office program at once. I also needed one with ports, an HDMI port, a headphone jack, multiple USB ports, an…
