Most people just try to avoid acknowledging it, as far as I've seen. Occasionally, people make jokes about it, but I've never seen anyone who actually likes it or finds it charming. Ricky tends to get really upset when people call it out as the weird behavior it is, and multiple people doing so hasn't resulted in any…

Ricky seems to think it's funny or cute or something? I've really never heard an actual cogent explanation. Pretty much everyone I've talked to really, really dislikes it, but we can't make him stop.

Ricky pretends that he has a five-year-old daughter, makes up stories about her, lingers lovingly on how cute she looks and what kinda of clothes she dresses in, and gets defensive and angry when people tell him that he's making them uncomfortable. It's totally understandable that you thought people were joking or…

No, it is absolutely not. It is a real thing.

How do you keep up with the news like that?

Yeah, but it was probably only, like, her first time stealing, so she just deserved a write-up.

I will accept a lot of stupid for that shot of Cage, stoned, with no face, smoking a cigarette and clapping.

Travolta is crazy good in this movie. As singular and irreplaceable as Cage is an actor, Travolta somehow manages to channel him perfectly.

Hey, I'd absolutely say that Cage and Travolta are doing good acting in this film. It's big, loud, and crazy, but it's also charming and funny and they're both accomplishing what they set out to do.

I've been making the Trump-Aguirre jokes for, like, a solid year now, so I'm not too surprised.

Herzog lives in America and is, in fact, an immigrant.

This movie should go.

I got my fiancée, who is a big Veronica Mars fan, into Deadwood partially on the promise that Kristen Bell was in it.

Huh, it's weird how everyone on staff was alive in 1986 but seems to be posting from an alternate timeline where Blue Velvet never came out.

Yeah, I didn't realize that "we need to destroy the ZOG occupation in preparation for the coming race war" was so reasoned and intelligent. I guess I owe my uncle an apology.

I didn't have a roommate who had it, but I lived about four blocks away from an anarcho-socialist bookstore that stocked it in photocopied zines behind the counter. Before that, the building was an all-day cereal bar where 20-somethings could reserve a screening room full of beanbags for ninja turtles cartoons.

It actually is. See "terroristic threats," the legal term for what you can be charged with for making threats of terrorism.

Phil Collins is next!
