Reminds me very strongly of the first stage combat class I ever took, back in 1988. I was about that coordinated.

The same reason Grover Dill was a sniveling toady to Scut Farkas: if you bow and scrape hard enough, the bully might decide to pants someone else. It’s both pathetic, and pathetically common.

Thanks for the reminder, I’ve been meaning to watch The Substance.

I liked Weapons okay: I’m a sucker for pretty much anything with Benedict Wong, and the dark comedy of the ending was fun. But I thought the structural choices worked against it, and I have to admit I really didn’t find it scary.

Watched that the other week. I’ll be interested in your take on it.

Johnson is the very definition of what the Elizabethans called a “lickshit lackey”.

So, audio content produced entirely by bots which will be listened to entirely by bots. Leaving aside how weirdly incestuous that is, I don’t see how you make a profit off of it.

Make Infectious Disease Great Again, apparently.

Love the stuff. We keep jars of chicken base and veggie base on hand pretty much constantly.

I feel oddly called out by this. 😉

Shouting Heads

You and Veronica may be the most thoroughly married people I know. And it is glorious.

She’s a ninja. Mere photography cannot capture her.

Tough call, but I think I’d go with the airstrip fight from “Raiders”. Exciting, funny, and both fighters reveal a lot about their characters with almost no dialogue at all. Ford especially, as he rolls from clever to desperate to furious with perfectly corresponding changes in physicality.

No questions necessary. It’s self-evident.

These are the same fake-outrage f*ckwits who were claiming that “Captain Marvel” was playing to empty theaters, while it was grossing over $1B worldwide.

“You dress in the manner of a male prostitute.” 😂

Loved She-Hulk. But yeah, the shrieking and snivelling from the “fans” over what was clever and very funny series, because it dared to both show women succeeding and to point out that yeah, sometimes guys can kinda be dicks.

I rather suspect that Alito has never personally experienced a joyful event in his entire shithearted life.

MST3K marathon. Queue up the really deadly ones: Monster A-Go-Go. The Creeping Terror. Danger! Death Ray. Godzilla vs. Megalon. Cry Wilderness. Manos. You’re strong, you can take it…

I’m right with you. My beloved spouse is away until Sunday, and I’m already trying to figure out how many different ways I can include bacon in a single meal…

Fascists are always shocked that most people hate fascism.

Insert “fire emoji” here. 😁

Mary Kolache Esq, Attorney Bizarre, takes on the case of a client who does not exist yet has nonetheless been framed for a crime she didn't commit.

It's "Make a Terrible Comic Day," and cousin, I sure tried

“Mexicanized dishes” should be step no. 1. Bury me where the burrito grande will wave o’er my grave.

I’m guessing this observation is occasioned by something specific you saw recently?

“We are not the same”.
Thank Christ for that. I’m not sure what’s funnier; the degree of functional helplessness, or that he had to work so hard to set it up. 🤣

I bumped into Steven Tyler at KRF, at the Starfire booth. We were both in costume, and complimented each others’ look. “Hey, nice outfit, man.” “Thanks, man. You look great.” Totally casual.

Melania looks like she wants to personally slap the shit out of every other person there. 😂

That’s a… bold choice.

At last! Once you get to Basel, scope out and share the best restaurants: that might be useful info for some of us. 😉
