I cannot stand by your Club Dread take. I will give you the caveat of it being better than the anything other than ST and Beerfest, but it’s a pretty steep drop off that cliff.

This is an extremely good comment.

Club Dread was great and the people who complain about it didn’t get the jokes.

what is a meat raffle?...

Nah. They’re both decent attempts, but I’m not calling them better. And that’s pretty much the best you can hope for in a comedy sequel. I was toying with Back to the Future getting better, but I’m not sure that’s true. And the more I think of it, I’m not sure they’re comedies, so much as lighthearted science fiction…

Random aside on MN and booze: My dad when I was growing up would mention the small town, Finlayson, that my grandfather grew up in up there, which had the bar, package liquor store, and Volunteer Fire Department Fire Hall all in one building. (The phone for the Fire Hall apparently rang in the bar as well as the Hall,…

Are you insane? The market for him is going to be in like the 4th-5th round range.

Clerks 2 is better than the original?? Q: Cute comment, what’s the poster’s name? A: Weak Take.

Wayne’s World > 2. I was gonna say, Ghostbusters 2 is at least COMPARABLE to Ghostbusters. Obviously not as funny, but it’s not exactly a turd of a movie either.

This is a horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible take. WW2 was atrocious. I had never been as excited to go see a movie as I was for WW2. I was 16 and the exact person the movie was marketed to. It was the first time in my life I was truly disappointed by something Hollywood had made for me.

Counterpoint: Clerks 2 fucking sucks.

YES! I was outraged at the exclusion of this, the best sports sound.

Puck hitting goal post on your teams goal is best sound

Ping of the puck going off the post woulda been my number one. When I played I almost liked hitting the post as much as actually scoring.

I really can’t believe what I just read...and it’s only an excerpt? My god

Fuck every single thing about this excerpt, probably the entire book, and especially the author. (ETA: His kid gets a pass for being young and stupid, but extra fuck the author for validating that bullshit.)

“I went back to my seat, I ordered a beer—a Heineken beer—and then, little by little, I swallowed that first page of the passport,” Abreu said.
