Be careful out there among them English.

Chappelle’s allowed to believe whatever he wants to believe, but I can’t understand why he (and J.K. Rowling, for that matter) has picked this particular hill to die on.

MEL BROOKS IS JEWISH?!

Bajor.

You’ll get no argument from me.

I always felt like she committed suicide or just wasted away due to her terrible loneliness.  I mean, it could be ageism on my part, thinking “Why the hell would Paul be singing about some old lady, gotta be a young woman.”  Maybe I’ll hear it differently from now on.

I’ve actually read it before (once), but like you, I had a number of failed attempts first. I’m re-reading it now, just passed page 100.

I always pictured Eleanor Rigby as a lonely young woman, who was picking up the rice in a church where a wedding has been as some kind of token or charm, perhaps dreaming of her own wedding day (“lives in a dream”).  I never once thought of her as cleaning up the rice.

My take was that maybe he didn’t realize where he was after jumping into another timeline, then he uncovered the Batmobile and realized he was in the Batcave.

That’s a little excessive, one too many bats. Robat Battinson would have sufficed.

SOMEBODY STOP ME!

I was outside putting up Halloween decorations before, and as I loaded this page some sweat got in my eye, and with my vision blurred, I thought it said Halloween Kids and had a brief vision of a Muppet Babies-style Halloween with little kid versions of Michael Meyers, Laurie, and Dr. Loomis.

“The Descendants’ Rob Huebel”? Yes, he was in that, but that was a while ago, and he seems to work pretty regularly.

The voiceover dubbing is annoying as all hell, it’s much better in Korean with subtitles. I still didn’t like it, not one bit, so IM (not so) HO you’re not missing anything.

Coming to Netflix in 2022:

Few things are as uninspiring to me as the words “Ghostbusters reboot,” but the amount of comedic talent they’ve lined up for this thing is stunning. Maybe it’ll be good?

Ah, the Ruthless People angle, that could work. The kid takes their side against the parents, but just to teach the adults a lesson and help everyone come to an amicable agreement because this is Disney.

Should have called it Sweet Home Alone-bama and had the parents be Reese Witherspoon and Josh Lucas.

That was rather dispiriting to see him do so poorly, even though I was glad to see someone finally beat him. I thought I remembered Holzhauer using that strategy, but I didn’t like him, so I didn’t watch much of his run. Of course, that strategy only works if you can answer the question correctly, so it’s not like…
