  1. Yeah, there might be comedies these days that are good for a line here or there. But the endlessly quotable comedy is dead. #getoffmylawn
  2. Some would say too easy . . . .
  3. You heading to MSY anytime soon? Great updated recommendations on the MSY Food And Drink Thread.
  4. Epstein bullshit aside, has anyone considered just how socially awkward a dinner hosted by J.D. Vance must be?
  5. Other than his appearance in Dark Knight Rises, I've never seen one minute of Glen Powell in a movie.
  6. The real question I have is how much you remember after all of these long dentist visits.

    https://www.aclfestival.com/schedule Asleep at the Wheel confirmed for Friday at 12:45 p.m.
  8. What else are you going to do during the commercials?
  9. This is a lot like my 14-year-old freshman. Great grades, is thriving in his band community, and by all accounts when he's in school it sounds like he interacts with a lot of friend groups. But after school and on weekends it seems he spends 80% of his waking life in front of a screen. He's got his headset on so he can game with his friends, which is his way of being "social," I guess. I know a lot of other teenage boys are like that as well. But when I bring up the possibility of actually hanging out with a friend on a weekend, even offering to provide transportation, he's like "eh." I hope this changes when he and his friends start driving. Of course, this was never an issue with my daughter when she was in high school and now my step-daughter. They're constantly at friend's houses, going to the Domain, etc.
  10. Where's Damien when you need him?
  11. "You are a bad guy!" is something a fifth-grader would write.
  12. Still meh. She's just not a good vocalist. I mean, it was fine for the No Doubt sound. Lots of 90s bands in the post-grunge era had average to bad vocalists.
  13. There is indeed a fascination with human depravity, and like everything else, filmmakers, studios, and streaming companies cash in on it. I went through a period in college when I consumed true crime books, and every now and then I watch a true crime documentary if I can tell that it's well produced. My wife, though, watches that stuff like it's oxygen. I heard a report on NPR a few years ago that women in particular are drawn to true crime stories, in particular those that involve crimes against women, because they have a strong empathetic connection to them, especially if they have been the victim of some kind of sexual assault or sexual abuse.
  14. My daughter attended an AISD high school, so no, nothing like that.
  15. There's probably an actual picture out there somewhere that doesn't need photoshopping.
  16. Man, it’s rare that I agree with the first post out of the gate in threads like these, but I can’t think of any other films that clearly top these for me.
  17. Funny, but this past weekend I dialed up No Doubt’s Return of Saturn, as I remember listening to it a lot around 2000 or so, but hadn’t played it in a couple decades. My God, her vocals are fucking awful. I think the polishing has helped.
  18. Shorts are the silent killer the medical establishment does not want you to know about.
