While I suppose that outcome is acceptable, I would have appreciated it if some of Maryland’s more well-armed Democrats put a few hundred bullet holes in the billboard instead. Ask a question, get an answer.

Chris Rock coined “Al-Cracka,” but I think “Y’all Qaeda” might even be an improvement over that.

His spleen just doesn’t want it enough!

You should reply to Chika Croissant, then, who began this off-topic branch of conversation by claiming that news networks reporting mass shootings amounted to a “media conspiracy” to take away assault weapons. I wouldn’t have needed to respond to anything if other people would just discuss the movie, but I’m not about…

The drop in gun deaths (and violent crime as a whole) predates both the 1994 crime bill and the 1996 assault weapons ban, and is likely due to factors external to either (better policing tactics, reduced poverty rates, etc).

Regardless of the rates of gun deaths (which were dropping throughout the 90s, and then started rising shortly after the expiration of the 1996 Assault Weapons Ban), the fact is that there are a lot more instances of people walking into a public place and killing bystanders indiscriminately than there have been before.…

“So the screenplay is contrived? Wow. How hard was it for you to figure that out? It’s obvious to anyone who sees the movie that it’s poorly written. I’m sure we’re all terribly impressed a film critic is able to tell when a script has no ideas worthy of consideration, but a review of the actual film, rather than of…

Let’s not be too impressed—the guy is still paying money to watch the Miami Dolphins.

Probably dropped a decimal point on accident. $72.40 is a much more normal price for 2 beers at an NFL game.

Now find one of a jaguar eating a horse.

See, I’m tall, so I like having the aisle seat, because it gives me a little extra space to the side where I can stick out my leg without crowding anyone.

If Collins has to run for Senate re-election next year having recently defended an obvious crime by the president, so much the better.

Let’s have a Secret Six movie, too! Have Tom Hardy reprise Bane, so he’s an overly-aggro 90s-era villain in both comic book universes!

“Alright, everyone, let’s do this one more ti- [phone rings] Hello? Can this wait? I’m about to introduce my origin—what? Feige signed on? [hangs up] Never mind, everyone, we’re done here.”

I like how Holiday lets Cary Grant do cartwheels and walk on his hands and stuff.

Well, you taste things with your tongue and nasal passages, not your palate. So that’s obviously not the word to use.

It Comes At Night is a movie that everyone would love if they caught it on HBO on a night when not much else was on and they hadn’t heard much of anything about it and went in blind. It’s tense, involving, and welcomely abrupt, the perfect weeknight watch that’ll get you in bed by 9:30 but maybe freak you out enough…

Are tar and feathers still an option?

Yeah, I think an essential part of making any mass public transit system effective is that you have to greatly increase the density of the housing, including building lots of middle-income units and government-subsidized housing for the type of people most likely to use mass transit. This makes the system more…

I’m guessing fewer than seven years.
