It’s been a long time since I read Without Remorse but I remember not thinking much of it. It was definitely a pulp departure for Clancy. Even as a kid,  I remember thinking “that’s a lot of rape”. SPOILERS I think no less than two of the women in his family are raped and murdered (one might have survived).

Master of None is such a weird show. It features some of the worst acting on television or film that I’ve ever seen. If you didn’t know better, you’d think most of the central actors (Ansari, Waithe, whoever played the big guy) should stick to their days jobs. I know Ansari can deliver lines normally from Parks so I…

I really liked the movie, but the killer and aspects of the how they committed the crime, was lifted right out of a Christie story. I guessed the murderer because I’d seen a particular episode of Poirot on PBS years ago.

Given that something you say online as a kid can pretty much keep you from being gainfully employed I think parents now have an absolute responsibility to do everything they can to keep their kids off social media (for other reasons too really).

And yet Lodge 49, Teenage Bounty Hunters, Castle Rock, Glow, Stumptown, High Fidelity, Vida, and probably a few I’m missing, stay dead. The American people are the true serial killers.

I will say that once a client renovating their home found a rot issue (not really discoverable during the inspection) after purchasing, which did hit the budget pretty hard. It felt a little like a Love it or List it moment. But nobody in the history of ever has had that weird three person conversation with their…

What I usually try to do is show them exactly what they asked for, and then they tell me they decided to go to New Jersey or Connecticut instead. 

I believe it means either, “I want you to think I’m old Money!” or, “My interior designer can do whatever they want as long as it shuts my spouse up”.

Mike Holmes lead to many home buyers becoming deathly afraid of the slightest problems in the house they were buying. Every single house has something, it’s part of being a homeowner. 

One of the more amusing things I once saw in a house (can’t quite remember where) was laminate over carpet, which is just nuts.

The very funny think about wood floors is it’s usually pretty easy to tell if the floors under a carpet are going to be wood or ply wood just by how they feel under your feet and the height of the carpet. It’s also very easy to pull up a corner to see beforehand. House Hunters single handedly led to a huge number of…

Quick question about the throuple. I didn’t see that episode but how is it that,

Nothing on HGTV is remotely realistic to the real world of home purchases, renovations, or maintenance. I’m a real estate agent and its sheer torture to watch five seconds of the network. By the way, just about any article online that provides information about real estate is absolute crap. Those “What your Realtor…

I mean, most of them would have been fired for a dozen different things they did over the years. Jake set off a smoke grenade in an office with another cop in it.

Hawkgirl is the barista right? The show doesn’t actually mention that (so far) much.

We’ve started with Legends of Tomorrow. It’s not the best (we’re up to about episode 12 I think). I’ve read good things about it here so we’re going to stick with it.

...But what this comment presupposes is, she won’t be.

Do you actually believe short selling is “greedy”? Is that your actual position or just one for the sake of snark. Because it isn’t Shorting a stock is not greedy. However, one could certainly make the argument that certain investors on Reddit have pumped and dumped this stock. Which you appear to helping them do.…

Parks and Rec (after the first season) was absolutely an optimistic spin on local government. 

I watched most of White Collar but I think skipped a good bit of the last season and the finale. Likewise, I watched most of Burn Notice, but never finished it. I did read the summary of the last episode though and I think that would be another candidate for your point.
