I can see high heels working with cozy sweaters, but this doesn’t feel like a particularly interesting incongruous mix to me. This feels like if someone was wearing a pocket tee, cargo shorts, a monocle, and a top hat. 

I’m not saying no one can have a handlebar mustache, but it’s the bow tie of facial hair. Maybe Paul F Tompkins can pull it off, but if you’re going for casual Jesus, or The Dude on a day too warm for the robe, a handlebar mustache is a jarring choice. 

I still don’t understand why anyone would take fashion tips from a man with a handlebar mustache like that. 

I don’t think “main character’s love interest” is a background role. And yeah, she is mostly significant for her relationship to Peter, that’s how supporting roles in movies usually work.

“But considering that Dunst had just received a damn star on the Walk Of Fame, the Spidey qualifier just wasn’t necessary.”

As good as Alison Tolman is, “network dramas aren’t worth watching” is a rule of thumb that’s worked pretty well for me so far. 

You can take actions that heavily imply the natives will be protected, although it’s hard to say how long that will last or how realistic it is. But weirdly, those actions are mostly just a side-thing that you do so the natives will basically give you directions. 

I think every single time you run out of MP your companions tell you to use a potion, and you’re going to spend a lot of time out of MP if you’re a spellcaster who doesn’t also specialize in melee. 

Has there been a point where people wouldn’t be offended by that? From the promotion of Columbus Day to any of Ben Shapiro’s rants, “imperialism actually rocked” seems like a weirdly common opinion. 

There are zealous fanatics whose plots you end, but these are always the works of rogue actors rather than a systemic issue inherent to church doctrines.

I’ve never understood the complaints about that, honestly. I mean, when I buy a sequel I want things to be better, sure, in terms of QOL, maybe fresher environments or something, but if it went too far from being Borderlands-y then I’d be disappointed. No one complains that Street Fighter is still Street Fighter and…

Didn’t Madonna deny the domestic violence allegations? 

The cover up makes it seem much more like narcissism or something than dementia to me.

I think it’s much more likely that he was just mixing up his southern states than mixing up those two. It’s a mistake anyone could make, the thing that makes it distinctly Trump is the brazen coverup.

Really, though? You think if someone found old naked pictures of Joe Biden it wouldn’t be headline news for a week? How much coverage did the details of Trump and Stormy Daniels’ affair get (not the campaign finance and mysterious threat angles, I’m talking the details of the dates themselves).

Sure, this is going to be a massive problem for any prospective politician going forward, unless they made a conscious decision to be purely political and respectable by the time they were in middle school. Any normal person’s old Twitter and Instagram posts full of profane rants about bad movies or standard beach…

Wait, is the writer being sarcastic when he says Skarsgard is a bad choice? Because I can absolutely see him as a devil. “Charming monster” is something he’s proven he can do. 

It’s a good scene, I just don’t think it’s really surprising to see Steven fuse with any of the core cast. 

Was Steg really that surprising? He’d already fused with Connie. 

Face/Off is far from perfect. Its most glaring problem is that between the two leads there’s only one interesting character. Nicolas Cage is Cage-ing it up for ten minutes, then for the rest of the film all the fun parts go to Travolta and Cage plays a bland cop. Ideally, a remake needs two actors with established and…
