I don’t know if you nonparents know this, but at this very moment there are no less than six dozen Power Rangers iterations available on Netflix, including Power Rangers MegaForce, Power Rangers Super MegaForce, Power Rangers Dino Charge, Power Rangers Super Dino Charge, Power Rangers Ninja Steel, Power Rangers Into the Jungle, Power Rangers Mystic Force … I could keep going. Here is how we like to consume Power Rangers in my house: ALL AT…
In recounting this weird thing to Nick the other day, he reminded me that it sounds an awful lot like the episode of 30 Rock where Liz reluctantly goes to her class reunion and “learns that she was not the quiet, lonely nerd she thought, but the angry bully everyone hated.” So. There’s that.
The buttery and soothing tones of Brooke Gladstone’s voice informed me tonight on the drive home from work that Television Without Pity is no more. The archives will stay up but NBC Universal, which owns the site (?????), has shuttered it and there will be no new recaps. I haven’t been on TWoP in years but this still hurts my heart all the same. I suppose it is just another fact of life when you’ve…
I love Andrew Sullivan, y’all know I do, but his giddy anticipation of the fall of traditional media (newspapers, dead-tree books, movie theaters; the giddiness is my reading, of course; his actual posts on the matter are calm and diplomatic, for the most part) gets me all squirmy in the bad way and riled up. Not just because it will inevitably put me out of a job but because this notion of a democratized media…
There are two Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee commercials on fairly heavy rotation around these parts. These commercials are horrible. They have always rubbed me the wrong way and I have spent more time than is probably wise trying to figure out why. I can’t seem to find clips of either ad, so I’ll attempt to describe them. Commercial one Mousy-looking blondish lady in glasses and pantsuit does voice-over about how when people come…

For the first time in years, I’ve got cable. I’m only a couple of hours in and already I’m poised to punch some people. Like those jackbags on the commercials for the company that will give you cash for your unwanted gift cards. “If you’re like many people, you’ve got gift cards piling up unused in a kitchen drawer!” (Uh … no, I don’t.) Cut to ungrateful assholes bitching about all their unwanted gift cards…
As the pickers rifle through dusty junk in dilapidated barns with corrugated metal roofs, I see an entire way of life that has all but evaporated.
I have just laughed and laughed at this skit. Is it weird that I have a crush on Bill Hader’s bone structure? UhhhL Originally this was a clip of the Stefon skit. Now it’s the whole episode. Huh?
