I dunno. Smith comes across as a pretty decent person who’s genuinely never fit in the Hollywood establishment. And while I’m not Smith or a saint, I am - like him, I suspect - a nerd. Nerds aren’t often invited to hang out with alpha assholes, so sometimes we’re just not in the loop.

My university is having a similar issue - they have accepted a $100K grant from The Weinstein Foundation that is going to go toward something in the Women’s Studies department and now there’s all this hand-wringing about whether or not the school should give it back. To what end? I say take his money, man. Take all of…

I find Smith’s claims of ignorance a bit more believable than some given how much of a Hollywood outsider he was/is.

“We got another donation from Kevin Smith. A check, plus a dozen oversized hockey jerseys, five pairs of calf-length board shorts, and ten ‘Clerks II’ baseball caps.”

If you think Kevin Smith was a bad filmmaker between 1994 and 2004 it’s going to be tough to take your opinions on film making seriously.

You really live up to your screen name.

Kevin Smith is not a great filmmaker, but he has always tried—with varying degrees of success—to feature women in really positive, and semi-progressive ways in his films. You should pretty much always be on their side in his movies. So, this feels really earned, at least.

Last week I felt like I had taken crazy pills when the judges creamed themselves over that uninspired outfit Claire “designed.” I presume the whole win was a setup because they knew she was cheating and wanted to goat the others into making a scene - it was poorly done though and looked super contrived (even more so…

Their mother died about a year ago, I bet Bob has been lining up his ducks since then.

It doesn’t matter if Greatest Show on Earth came out first, if Incas was the movie they watched and said, “Base the costume on that.”

How often do women do that kind of obnoxious over explaining?

Ferg would be a nerdy brogrammer who spends his free time ranting on reddit about getting constantly friendzoned.

If you lived in the city you wouldn’t hate corner stores. You’d know the folk who work there. You’d be able to ask them to stock products you want to buy. You’d drop in on the regular for a host of items. Your dog, like mine, would get a treat every time you do. In fact, your dog would want try to drag you in every…

Maybe its me, but even when I lived in Chicago (downtown, and the far north side) we didn’t really have them. We have liquor stores. Gas stations. But I never really saw a real bodega like we did in NYC.

UGH. As a city parent, I cannot overstate the importance of corner stores to healthy communities. Corner stores (we don’t really call them bodegas and the owners are usually Palestinian) serve as the grandmas for the neighborhood. The corner stores keep an eye out, and they sweep the sidewalk, and they lend you a…

How is this more convenient than a vending machine? You literally need to download a proprietary app before you use it.

There are corner stores all over West Town, in Chicago.

They only plan to stock non-perishables in their glorified bookcase minibars, so I don’t see how this helps since everything in it can more easily be ordered from Amazon. However, I will find the first report of yuppie parents getting into a fistfight over the only package of diapers in these silly things very amusing.

Eh. Fact is, they were “among the most successful,” despite how bad they are now and despite not winning a title. Three division titles, one Finals appearance, and in the playoffs every year he was there.
