If my memory serves me, it’s a mixture of a Dune reference and a goof on Mentos breath mints/candy.

My daughter was 7 when the first season of Stranger Things came out. Millie Bobbie Brown just said that they have 9 more months of shooting to finish the final season. My daughter will learn to drive before it airs. Re-god-damn-diculous

I feel like shrimpookies need lots of explaining.

The same idiots that tried to tell us that NFTs were “totally going to change the world bro, trust me”

I think you mean SPREADING DEMOCRACY.

Is that unpopular? I thought One Piece got near-universally praised, but I didn’t pay attention to the discourse beyond the first week or so it was out so I missed the pivot if there was one.

Like you, I braced for the worst and actually liked it quite a bit. I think the changes they made were fairly well done.

I would say Avatar is a solid American homage to anime, but the average tv viewer would see the art style and assume that it’s anime so most outlets are just framing it that way.

I had a boss back in the day that I had a really good rapport with, and he would jokingly call me Shrek because I was almost a foot taller than he was. I also worked in a lot of restaurants in my late teens to early twenties and found a love for cooking that has never really gone away.

A 924 month abortion seems to be within the realm of what republicans already think is happening, so why not?

Look at Mr. “Can Afford an Old Jacket” over here.

Think of it on a scale of 1-10. High floor means it’s not a stinker, so worst ranking would be in the 4/10 - 5.5/10 range. Low ceiling means it’s not going to be an all-timer, so the best ranking would be in the 6/10 - 7.5/10 range. Basically you’ll never HATE it, but you’re also never going to LOVE it.

Dean Koontz is kind of like the RC Cola of horror/suspense novelists:

  • See RC Cola in the store
  • “Hmmmm, it’s been a while, but I THINK I liked RC the last time I got it”
  • Purchase and consume RC Cola
  • “I kind of wish this was a Coke, but it’s not that bad, might as well finish”
  • Several years pass, go back to step 1

As a side note, I LOVED Dean Koontz books back in the 80’s/90’s. They were fun and quick reads that are in the “high floor, low ceiling” realm of books.
