I paid $3 to see it and want to sue for millions in pain and suffering.

To be fair, that could just be Gail's profile pic.

I wouldn't say that mint chocolate chip is my favorite flavor of ice cream, but when I want to prioritize mouth feel and creaminess, I find that no other flavor is as pleasing.

That explains why every clip Paul Rudd brings to Conan looks like Mac & Me. Everyone owes that movie *so much*.

Every thing Martin Short has ever done, he owes to Donald Duck. So... other way 'round.

Oh, these were in theater. Right now, I'm in a chronological rewatch of Star Wars, but not even trying to marathon it.

I watched all three Hobbit SEs in one day; watched all three Nolan Batmans the day "Rises" opened. Went to an all-day event for "Captain America: Civil War" that was, if I remember both Avengers and CA movies at the time - and maybe some of the Iron Mans. Yeah. Good times.

REESE'S PIECES INSIDE OF BIGGER REESE'S CUPS Okay. It's been a few years on that one. But honestly... it doesn't get much better.

That's right, I always think of it as a WB show, but it was Fox.

To me, that's almost the only thing that counts. Especially when it's a job I haven't had in three months.

Like the prequels, I'm never going to say it's good. But I like a lot about it.

If I had been living under a rock and knew absolutely zero about either candidate, I would vote for the bottom guy purely based on the pictures of their cabinets.

It’s not a prequel, it follows on the events of The Batman. So people who liked Colin Farrell and the movie?

Hamrah w the judgement that is a critic's responsibility:

"They are the shows in which people are literally soiling themselves + by extension, the viewer. Would we be better off if The Bachelor, or Cops, or The Apprentice had never been made? The answer is yes."

Oooooh, I like the new uniform! I don't know why, my first thought was, "Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel". Something to do with the neckline and red zipper line? Anyway, I like the asymmetry.

The story of the French election is not the left compromising to back the center and stop the far right. That's arguably the story of Macron's presidential election, but not this. The story of this parliamentary election is left and center both compromising to stop the far right.

I enjoy watching shows where competent people do jobs competently, even if that is a pipe dream. I like it on “Star Trek”, I like it in Sorkin’s shows.

I believe at the time they were called Babbages and sold PC software generally, not just games. That or they were Software, Etc., same market. Then they merged into “EB Games” I believe before rebranding into “GameStop”. God damn, I feel old.

Lost the game in the Costco parking lot. Driver came back before I drove away. Watched him fill the cabin with cigar smoke.

I get that super-elasticity is a hard power to visualize if the character is otherwise just running or standing still. But Ralph looks especially pained on this cover and I'm wondering, "What are you doing, Ralph? There cannot possibly be a reason you need to be stretching your neck like that."

Timm wasn't exactly correct though - Williams' Superman March is definitive, but despite all my other problems with "Man of Steel", I think Hans Zimmer did some marvelous stuff with that score.

Definitely. Bruce Timm said in a STAS commentary that any decent Superman theme has to have the word "Superman" in it. I feel like even before those three notes though, the early part has a bit of "Look up in the sky!" to it, too.

It’s so weird. I have removed the old brackets, set the new ones into the studs, patched the holes in the drywall, painted the patches, and now I’m ready to set the handrailing on the new brackets. I feel incredibly accomplished. So why do I want to fall to the ground and just weep?

Like what you like, I'm all about that. I'm not trying to blanket ban people, I'm just trying to tune out certain words and tags. If I block the word "army" that would probably do it, but I don't want to go that far and lose all the non-KPOP uses of it.

I miss digests. Most of what I know about the Silver Age DCU was from digest sized reprints.
