There used to be a perfect candy that only appeared during the Valentine’s Day season - Valentine’s Gobstoppers. The people that liked them loved them, and I remember eagerly waiting for January to buy several bags of them. But they haven’t been around for years, if not decades, and the world is a darker place because

Why again is Guy Ritchie directing this? He’s made two (possibly three if you count “The Man from UNCLE”, and I know several people that love that movie) out of what, twenty? Even if this was a shot-by-shot recreation, I still can’t imagine it will be any good. 

I read that book. And as I no longer have it, and cannot remember anything about it, I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s probably not worth googling. 

That was devastating. I’m not going to weigh in on the CK thing - I was never a fan (except for his appearances on “Parks and Recreation”), so I’m not familiar with his style of comedy. But I applaud this father for refusing to back down in the face of ridicule (Fox News anyone?) and stand up for his son. You’re

More power to Rachel True. I had no idea shit like that was happening today. Yes, I know racism is still a major problem, especially in the age of Trump, but this is ridiculous. And quite honestly, I am very disappointed in Neve Campbell, Fairuza Balk, and Robin Tunney for agreeing (on several occasions, evidently) to

I have to be honest. It didn’t dawn on me that she was probably too old to be having a baby, LOL. I thought of the character as more in her late thirties, and I thought she gave a great performance. 

The problem with Mark Millar is he always (or nearly always) writes entertaining stories, but they’re never truly great, and he has this bizarre way of sabotaging himself again and again. And yet he’s entertaining enough that I keep reading his books. “Reborn” felt very episodic to me, and it seemed like so much more

I believe Rami. I don’t think the allegations against Bryan Singer are as common knowledge as some people think, which is infuriating, but even now, many of the biggest abusers are protected and shielded. The accounts I’ve read - and like everyone else who wasn’t on set, I can only base my opinions on what I’ve

I own four of the five on DVD (yes, I am the definition of old school, LOL), all but the fourth one. And while the third one wasn’t that great, I still love the first, second and fifth ones, especially the ending of the fifth one. Critics seem to bash this series, but for the most part I think it’s a fun horror

You might be interested in reading a book called “Bone Gap” by Laura Ruby.

I lasted five minutes. When I had the guy accept the other guy’s offer, and the show rebooted, I was done. There was not one thing compelling enough to keep me going. The only characters I met - boy, dad, owner, game creator - all had the personalities of two-day-old tea bags. There was nothing there to compell me to

The lazy cliche of Pence being secretly gay is only a lazy cliche because it’s so overwhelmingly true. Straight guys just don’t care about what other guys do; they want nookie, and if other guys don’t, hey, more for them. I’ve never met a straight guy who thought being gay is disgusting or immoral that wasn’t secretly

I couldn’t get past the first book in the series. Besides the author being such a bad, well, author (seriously, he had a character massage the wall in search of the light switch, still one of the worst lines I’ve ever read in a book), the characters were mostly completely unlikeable, the surprising identity of the

I agree, but only to a very limited point. Yes, human interaction is a key factor in breaking down walls. But there is also a desperate need for honest discussions about racism; we need to talk about what makes us different as well as what unites us.

I bought the CD and, while some of the songs weren’t that great, some of them were really good. I really liked “Someday We’ll Know”, which is one of the best break-up heart-broken songs ever written. I would’ve been interested in his other work, but I’m glad he realized it wasn’t for him and got out. He deserves to be

Honestly, I thought the show would be better without Rick around the third or fourth season (whenever they were in the prison prior to the Governor). His character has always been whatever is required at the moment, whether or not it makes any sense, and as someone who not only thinks Andrew Lincoln is very nice to

I misread the title at first and thought Disney was celebrating “Mickey’s Goth Spectacular”. I am now seriously jonesing for emo Mickey.

I would say Yvette Nicole Brown was the best thing about “Community”, but damn, that show had a ridiculously great cast, so honestly, she was ONE of the best things, LOL. But she’s right. When Sarah “Lying Fuckabee” Sanders comes after you, you KNOW you are on the right side of history. Yvette, the truth will piss

At least he doesn’t talk much.

While I would agree that “Torchwood” is not necessary to watch to understand the Doctor’s world, I would strongly recommend watching the first two seasons. “Adrift” is one of the most haunting episodes I’ve ever seen (it would actually fit very well into the “Black Mirror” series, now that I think about it), but most
