“See, do you ever find yourself completely obsessed with something that will inevitably turn you into a total stupid fool?”

New headline suggestion:

Incredibly pleasant surprise. It’s like they were actually listening and wanted him to continue because it was so powerful.

Not sure I have the brainspace to properly vent about this movie, but I saw it when it was released and it drove me absolutely crazy. One caveat: the great majority of the film is very well made and the performances are by and large, great. My issues are one, with the overall premise, and two, a particular directing…

Problem one: using “encomium” in a discussion about a Faster & Furiouser movie.

And some strategically placed nails under the tires.

Or you could keep it in your wallet like a normal human being.

That’s weird.

It’s weird, right?

The show’s very well made - the cinematography alone kept me invested past where I first wanted to bail. But otherwise it’s just really boring and uninspired compared to the book.

“pronounced like Tiffany” is from the book as well. It’s implied that that’s not technically right, but... eh, close enough.

If only they hadn’t stripped all of the interesting stuff out of the book(s).

Another EVIL white dude...

I’m sure some people will irrationally hate this, but the microwave is the answer here. Cook with the shuck still on and the silks will slide out like magic.

You say you double the amount of garlic you add to any recipe (same), so in the spinach pasta, is the 6 cloves already doubled? Or would you add a dozen?

Saying the characters abilities aren’t magical makes me fear they won’t be using some of the more ... colorful characters from the books. The vampire, for one, and it feels odd saying that because normally I loathe vampire things, but that character was distinct and compelling. Plus in Rook world, vampires are born…

I still want to reject the fact he’s Skip Bayless’ brother.

Because?

Ah yes, the glorious cuisine of the interstate truck stop...

Pure amateur hour. This is how you fold a t-shirt.

This was cracking me up during the broadcast. I wasn’t keeping count but I kept imagining someone in the production truck scrambling to find out which mike to cut.
