Some Like It Hot. I Was a Male War Bride and Bringing Up Baby are both awfully damn close, too.
I started reading Sinophagia: A Celebration of Chinese Horror last night. Finishing off the television adaptation of “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.”
Will there be an opportunity for public comment on the mergers that those two are trying to get approval for from the administration? I’m sure a lot of us would be very happy to fuck with them on that end, too.
This is really fascinating. Thanks for posting it.
JC: But…why’re they dressed like cheerleaders? JB: Before their, uh, conversion, they were the Gotham U cheerleading squad. JC: That sly old devil. And I guess that one’s dressed like a muppet because— JB: She was the mascot, yeah.
Etrigan having a posse of former college cheerleaders who either know magic or carry knives does have some fun comedic possibilities. John Constantine: Who are all those birds? Jason Blood: Etrigan’s clergy. JC: Etrigan’s… JB: Clergy. Yeah. They worship him.
“Check out our line of branded iron lungs!”
Don’t forget that the state in which one of their parks is located is about to become an incubator for all sorts of childhood diseases.
And they want him to *pay* the little shit’s family.
*How* did they expect…rather. Stupid lack of edit function.
And why is Ice dressed like she wandered off the set of virtually any 80s family sitcom?
Also, apparently not *every* part of the Atom is small. Did they expect that to get past the network censors?
Teal. Teal Lantern. It’s less willpower and more resentment at being called in to fight supervillains on your day off.
I would never again make it to work anywhere near on time.
And thus began the schism that gave rise to the First Church of Jesus Christ, Onanist.
Did his log see something?
If nothing else, his daughter has a much better chance of getting through childhood without being SA’d in the home now.
Share a favorite cover as a timeline cleanse. youtu.be/YoucrL3-ZoM?...
I really love their version of “Digging Your Scene” on that album, too.
I’m so sorry.
The Baby Elephant Walk
Crushing morale through the power of John Williams.
If you mean the high number for Islamic extremism in 2016, 46 of those 49 people were killed in the Pulse Nightclub shooting.
So pretty!
Gorgeous!
I had no idea I needed a cover of “Hey Ya” in the style of the B-52s.
I can’t prevent my brain from hearing this skeet in the old SNL Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy voice.
The study of the latter is Highlanderiography?
He may think it’s a brand of gin.
Are he and Gavin Newsom in some sort of downward race?
This is fascinating. I hope you’re right, and - even more - I hope Kirk’s band of followers also reach this conclusion.
Someone really needs to inject a “Nick Fuentes ordered Charlie Kirk murdered” conspiracy theory among the magats.
The fash need their Horst Wessel, and the spineless toadies need to be perceived as supporting the fash’s wants. Additionally, I think a number of people of power and/or influence on both political sides just realized they could be the next one to catch a bullet.
And now he’s being relegated to the role of Temu Horst Wessel, because more than anything, the fash need an excuse.
Oh, that’s going to be guest-star Nancy Mace within a couple of weeks.
That’s a beautiful shot.
To be fair, the Venn diagram of Kirk’s and Fuente’s beliefs is pretty much one circle. They were almost entirely fungible before this afternoon.
I would absolutely delight in suggesting this to my family and friends who are magats, just to sow chaos, if I hadn’t cut off all contact with those people years ago.
Yes, please
*second volume in the duology, that is.
Django Wexler’s “How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying” was a delight. The volume in the duology just came out recently, too.
I got my shingles shots a couple of years ago, and the first one in particular really wiped me out for a couple of days. Good on you for planning for that.
Both of the cities on this sign are in Texas, so…
There’s definitely no way a movie could do that today without it becoming meme’d into the very structural foundations of social media.
So glad he’s home safe!
Happy birthday, Bee!
I’m so sorry, Premee. I hope your babies return/get found quickly.
Tom Waits as the mad scientist in Mystery Men was a fun one.
To complicate matters, I think Phil Collins *did* play a killer on Miami Vice, though.
Bob Dylan backed by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers on the True Confessions tour in 1986. Second would probably be Nina Simone on her last American tour about 2001-ish. We were about sixth or seventh row.
Well, when only the rich can afford real estate and there are no more universities to incur student loan debt on, they’ll need something else that can be collateralized.
That way, it makes sure to get your dog, too.
Peaky Blinders and The Godfather of Harlem have both made such effective use of that.
That’s a really clever way to represent that stage of growth.
Really didn’t expect my first impression of a k-pop girl group to be “damn, they remind me of the Beastie Boys”. youtu.be/ETjeIK06s4o?...
“Our product encourages people to commit suicide” seems like the sort of situation for which strict liability was created.
EXM is conceptually more like The New Mutants, but the Outliers-centric stories in UXM *feel* more like classic New Mutants stories to me. I’d be all in for Gail splitting the kids into their own book if she were writing it. I could take or leave calling them The New Mutants, though.
Wolverine Gambit Nightcrawler Jubilee Rogue (You had better not be tricking us into voting on who dies!)
(Probably still pointless, but not really painful.)
Thanks to law school, my brain has solved this problem by wistfully thinking “Wouldn’t it be cool to get another bachelor’s degree?” this time of year.
That looks really nice
The more accurate version of the story is probably that he used to buy roofies off a guy named Jesus there.
Waiting for the inevitable bad country song with this title.
How about camels that have been trained for riders? If you get one for each of you, she can’t be upset about it, right?
Was it while he was having sex with them?
Well, it’s been 40 years; the famous question from that Conan film was due an updated answer.
Goddamnit. This is going to make me have to learn how to differentiate him from Chris Evans.
Oh, that’s fantastic!
What is the design on the shoes? When I embiggen the photo, it almost looks like images from Heironymous Bosch.
Very excited about this!
There’s also the 1980-something film that plays with the story about selling your soul to the Devil to be a great musician, but improbably stars Ralph Macchio
The secret ingredient in the sauce is a real killer.
Congrats!
Happy birthday!
Wait. Are you saying you didn’t lift one of the cats up so they could get the moth?
This would be absolutely terrible at any time, but for it to be in the book kicking off your line-wide reboot? So many yikes.
Assuming Strange Academy returns to New Orleans after the Doom event is done, any chance we’ll get to see a meeting between the Outliers and the Academy kids? Deathdream and Zoe in particular seem like they’d be fun to see interacting.
That’s a work of art.
I took it as more that believing the government is full of lizard aliens isn’t the kind of conspiracy theory likely to lead one to commit family violence.
This is some state fair-level deep frying insanity.
I now have a new theory about why Terminators want to eradicate humanity.
I picture this guy as a version of the dentist in Little Shop of Horrors, taking constant huffs of his own nitrous.
That image feels like it ought to be mounted on canvas and hung in a gallery.
Ah, so just a tremendously unfortunate pre-existing document, then? I read it as their actual response to the discovery request. Man, that must have actually caused their attorney physical pain to produce.
Holy shit. Do they have counsel? Reading that response, I would have sworn they were pro se.
I’m confused about the identity of the 15 people who can testify about what happened at the party. She says about 600 times that there were 10 attendees, and there’s the 2 of them, and the Black Friend (TM) who lives above the garage…and, um, Cardboard Trump, and I guess Harvey?
And for haunted house stories, Elizabeth Hand’s novella “Wylding Hall” is hard to beat.
The Murderbot books are really good (although they’re a series I much prefer in audiobook, as the narrator is fantastic). If you’ve a taste for more horror, Chuck Wendig’s “Black River Orchard” is terriffic.
I would like to hear more about “Hades! At the Opera,” please.
Wasn’t this proposed to distract him from trying to be in a Star Trek movie?
100% accurate
A good documentary on JKR’s transphobia coming out in the next year or so would be a great help to sticking a (pitch)fork in the franchise.
We should be born with counters built in to track the amount of time the joints have left for functioning reasonably painlessly.
Wouldn’t it cost less to just send him to a fancy drug rehab?
The power transmission lines will be unwound from the Biggest Spools Ever.
Huh. I never knew what part of town it happened in.
In the immortal words of Terry Pratchett, “Ook?”
If only someone could line up all the restaurants and grocery stores on the island to refuse to sell him food.
I bet they get lots of invitations To parties.
