You have to be more specific than "a lot." Is the number of people who OD on prescription drugs high relative to the total number of people who take them?
And of course, being completely dependent on medication is okay if it allows someone to lead a normal life. Stigmatizing prescription drugs by trying to tie them to (already misguided) anti-drug rhetoric is inhumane.
You should compile one entire month's worth of Duh Aficionado posts and put out an actual hard copy of the magazine. Maybe just once as a special bonus. I'd buy one.
Eh, it's somewhat interesting, but not really any more so than any other hobby, IMO, like building model trains or what have you. At best it's cocktail party fodder.
There is also a long record of genealogy obsessiveness intermingling with some very ugly and reactionary ideas. Especially in the US, where being able to trace your lineage back more than a couple generations is a de facto assertion of white privilege.
For some reason the Palin thing prompted me to remember the central role Leno played in putting Schwarzenegger in the governor's mansion. Which reminded me that the big public outcry leading to the Gray Davis recall was in response to the reinstatement of an auto licensing fee that had been suspended a few years prior. For some reason that is making me laugh/cry.
I don't know, I think Smith has a lifetime whatever-the-opposite-of-pass-is, for Clerks and everything else.
But really, a person should be able to buy a ticket and go on an airplane, whether they are Kevin Smith, or a fat girl next to Kevin Smith, or anyone else.
Has it ever crossed your mind what the star's haircut was called in 9th grade? The very obvious answer would be "what else, the same haircut as Topher Grace". You got it wrong this time. As a young kid, it was called as the same haircut as Chris by all his friends, and for dome reason or the other he didn't admire it a bit.
Ooh, good detective work. According to the world's most accurate encyclopedia, the girl in Die Antwoord is "Yo-Landi Vi$$er," a/k/a MaxNormal.tv's Yolandi Visser.
Yeah, isn't that what they call it in the UK, "wife beater"? I like how it is sort of seen as a fancy beer in the US but in the UK is basically on the level of malt liquor.
It actually wasn't until this week while I was walking the dog and saw the Valentine's Day poster, and read the list of like fifteen actors looking for TG's place in the list, that I realized that he was not actually the "star" of that movie.
The cold open was centered on as offensive a "greedy scheming Arab" stereotype as you could ask for. Unoriginal, and not daring in the least in the current political climate.
Reel Quotes and Alicia Keys were great, though.
I was just wondering about that trope. Where did it come from? Had to have been a film because the number of extras it would require wouldn't be feasible for the stage, and obviously had to have been a talkie. Surely it couldn't have ever happened in real life, right?
