...Breakdown of the organizations opposed to the healthcare bill was extensive and damning, but baseball to the groin had a baseball to the groin... 

Hey this was a really well-done article! I’d be great to get more stories like this, although the vetting process would probably become a nightmare.

I wish him the best of his luck. These alt-right morons / monsters need a taste of their medicine.

When oh when will Drag Race claim that big win?

Whenever the Kinja randos drift over here and engage me, and then post what they think will be a conversation ending gif, I’ve found posting weird and vaguely creepy gifs gets them to leave me alone.

Do you remember when bleeding-edge telecommunications devices were made by mom & pop stores the nation over? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Gisele and Han and they died on that weird never ending runway.

I haven’t heard any news on Hyam’s Maniac Cop in quite a while, I hope its still a thing.

Also, UniSol: Regeneration is great. I didn’t see it until after the sequel Day of Reckoning (which introduced me to Scott Adkins!), so it didn’t quite live up to the surreal and nightmarish qualities of Reckoning. That said, Regenration is an awesome meat and potatoes action movie that gets some additional heft from…

Aloha AV Action aficionados! My wife and I have done another episode of our podcast The Adkins Diet, about the many movies (good and bad) starring prolific actor/martial artist Scott Adkins. The first episode covered his big break, Undisputed II as kind of an introduction, episode 2 dives right into the…

“Other Notable Action Movies from 2009:

I watched Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning on a random whim via Netflix one lazy Saturday. It wasn’t until the car chase that I realized it was filmed in Baton Rouge. What an amazing, brutal, sweaty mindfuck of a movie that turned out to be.

I saw Day of Reckoning based on a recommendation from the AVC, and I was gassed out of my mind. Good lord, that’s a fucked up movie. Can’t believe it packed so much into a pretty tight package. Lynchian is a really good way of putting it, but the idea of dead cyborgs grappling with their humanity is incredible; the…

It makes me very happy to see that even though the website has changed, The A.V. Club still knows how to deliver a great takedown.

I have nothing to say. I just want to see if I can finally post here again.

Marvel / Disney’s most valuable asset is good will. Squandering it on this is incredibly stupid.

The first time I went to Belgium 8 or 9 years ago, I had plenty of the beers (including Westvleteren 9 and 12), and while they were all great, they didn’t stand out much higher than other similar ones I’d had. Here’s the thing though. When I got back home, ALL of the beers I had tasted sub-par. For 2 months all I…

German beers are ok but so few styles. For the best pilsners you are probably best of in Czech Republic. On anything else, the Belgians have everyone beat.

Why not? Cans are great. They’re lined so the “tastes like metal” complaint is total bs, and they block out all light. I’m glad people are coming around and realizing that something doesn’t magically turn into a Budweiser once you put it in a can.

I spent a week in Munich this past July. Frankly, after drinking German beer, most American beers tasted anemic. I love a good craft beer, but damn, the Germans really have us beat in the brewing department.
