Hey, buddy, she ain’t that fat!

So, you’re just not reviewing South Park anymore?

“I don’t think he ever met a person who didn’t feel they were lucky to have been able to chat with John for a while. Well, I did hear he got on Steve Martin’s nerves when they travelled together around Thanksgiving once, but now that I think about it that might have been a popular film they were both in.”

This.  John Candy’s absence has been palpable, for what we were deprived of.  His work in JFK showed he had incredible dramatic chops as well as comedic, and he no doubt would’ve flourished in the streaming era.  

John Candy and Robin Williams are the two deceased actors I miss on a daily basis. They were so endemic to the comedy I watched as a kid. Losing them was like losing two beloved uncles and there are days when I’m just so sad that they’re gone. 

............ that is very alarming.

Dear A.V. Club,
I just relapsed (alcohol) for about a solid week there after some family tensions, disregard anything I’ve recently posted here. My apologies.

For old techno people like me ,...there’s a new Orbital album released in February (and tour!)

I feel like Soderbergh used her best in Haywire, she was still fairly wooden but he leaned into her impressive physicality more than her acting, and let the rest of the cast do the acting. 

Superfudge or GTFO, Hollywood.

Lucky Jim isn’t Roth, it’s Kingsley Amis (though it’s also a semi-comic novel about an academic, but in Britain in the 50s).

“Better Thank Hank”

I would have to go with a copy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, for it scores over the other, more pedestrian options in two important respects:
First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words DON’T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.

I took an edible at the height of the pandemic and binged the first season of the series. It was, of course, the same night that their pandemic episode dropped. Messed me riiiiight up. In a good, cathartic way. Pledged myself to these writers and cast that day.

That’s fine, there’s always Pathfinder.

I appreciate the effort, but a lot of these are definitely in the “check with them first” category. Like, if the person is a player and not a DM, they probably don’t need the ones that include DM rulebooks, DM screens, minis, terrain, maps, etc. I mean, maybe they do if they enjoy reading that stuff, but they might…

Sure would be a shame if WotC (Hasbro really) lost a huge portion of its market share like it did during 4th Edition. Would be even more of a shame if that share was sliced up among the legions of extremely great indie TTRPGs on the market which are far more affordable, better organized and developed, and often times…

I’m very much a fan of Henry Cavill, and he’s done a nice job as Supes, but as a character, Superman is crushingly boring. There’s very little to connect with, when you’re telling stories about an omnipotent god-man (unless, of course, you’re Zach Snyder). Every story has to include kryptonite or another alien,…

Enjoying the recaps but one thing is driving me crazy.
