Jumping back on to this hellsite to explain why I’m off it forever.

IT WAS NEVER GOOD Y’ALL.

Knowing less about what others think about you is a boon. Never ask.

When I just told F that a YouTube video uses a line from one of my reviews as an example of a run-on sentence and then shows how to fix it, he laughed and laughed and laughed.

THE MARVELS is fun. And light. And fun because it is light.

Tiresome superhero bros will insist that it is not fun. One such bro stood up after our screening like “Well that was the worst superhero movie since JONAH HEX.”

Good pull, bro. Wrong take but good pull.

There are 5 (FIVE!) pics of randos listening to headphones. They couldn’t switch even one of them out?

I have no proof that my review of INHUMANS, say, occasioned any emails from fake accounts but I’m telling myself it did.

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

EXCLUSIVE: At least six instances between June 2020 and April 2021 found HBO bosses using a “secret army” of fake accounts to fire back at TV critics on Twitter.

I once wrote a whole LOTR thing on this website and turned my Iowa Writers Workshop mentor, the beatific Marilynne Robinson, into Galadriel because yep

[Glen Weldon @ghweldon]

We arrive in the haven of Iowa City, where we are greeted by the Queen of its Workshop. She is wise and beautiful and speaks in whole paragraphs, and she gives me a gift.

It’s her latest book of essays, and don’t get me wrong I LIKE her non-fiction though it gets a bit Jesus-y

The two that didn’t make it:

NAKED ATTRACTION: A Buttload of choads

NAKED ATTRACTION: It’s clit

[Glen Weldon @ghweldon]

In this week’s PCHH Newsletter, Linda lists the 39 headlines we collectively* suggested for the PCHH ep about NAKED ATTRACTION, and invites you to imagine us all happily tossing options back and forth. She then invites you to guess who suggested what.

Guys, of COURSE Gambit is gay. Every other word out of that queen’s mouth is Cher. Do the math.

Getting ready to put the chairs up on the tables, marry the ketchup bottles and turn out the lights here.

A WRINKLE IN TIME doesn’t include the twin Murray brothers from the books.

The only other thing to erase Sandy/Dennis so completely was COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME JIMMY DEAN JIMMY DEAN.
