Him coming back is my only hesitation for WW84. Loved him and their chemistry but just seeing him in the trailer already lessened the impact of his sacrifice and her loss in WW for me.

My ‘08 manual EX is still going strong. It’s done pretty much everything I’ve wanted to do with it and been a weather warrior and northwoods light duty natural.

Appreciate the textured review Gwen. I recognize this may come off as minor gripe, but my biggest disappointment headed into this reboot/reimagining is the setting change from Chicago to Brooklyn.

Jeez, similar story for me. Incidentally my friends and I enjoyed a couple hours there as a low-cost break from the normal vegas stuff last February. Some pretty darn good 80's hair cover band was playing.

Yikes, from the future the opening lines about Anna Faris’ relationship are a tough read.

These will surely give me the most spectacular shits, well done Taco Bell.

This is an amazing tip.

Have you checked out her youtube channel? It’s frickin delightful, most of the time its her exploring food and engaging in charmingly unsafe food practices. My favorite of the past year I think.

I greatly enjoyed your recipe for the Sweet Potato Chutney (extras froze well too, that was a massive portion), so I’ll give this one a try too.

Hey, a proper heel needs great character work to really make you resent them. Don’t hate the heel, hate the game!

Hard not to read the holiday sign-off without wondering what the site will look like in January.

Thanks for the great essay Jesse, it’s inspired me to revisit (or simply start, can’t pretend I’ve seen every single release) his output this decade. This will be a great companion for it. His movies just stick to me, heck Criterion's edition of The New World is the last physical film I've bought.

Lucy Dacus is so fucking good. I don’t connect with all of her work -which is fine! - but enjoy the artistry behind each song. Her song for New Year’s is particularly great.

“Good news for anyone who didn’t consider “six seasons” to be a sufficient amount of time to spend watching people stare at each other ominously while brandishing axes”

Feral cats murder the heck out of migratory birds.

All but confirming that Spanfeller and Mainment see themselves as the heroes in the story, martyred for taking a stand. Sick.

Biggest bunch of babies in the world. Mewling.

Candy corn in the top ten?!!!

They don’t, at all. That’s the key. At best Spansmeller and Co want to completely redo the site with bland Maven-style content monkeys, at worst they want to write it off while paying the least as they wait. Both involve them getting rid of anyone with a spine or a soul, not to mention talent.

That diving run by the Y-Wing brought back a flood of memories of similar missions with one while playing the original X-Wing game on PC. It’s a flying missile of a tank. Tough to turn, but point it straight and it *goes*.
