I’m always in the grays as well - and have been commenting for years... Read more

We tend to skip the salt and pepper and pick up a picnic pack of them when we shop for the food we need. Much less mess to clean up in our packing items from the airlines managing to break them open

I (mostly) agree with this! But, like a recipe, I have a couple modifications. My list of kitchen items to take is: Read more

Here’s a new thought: How about we stop arguing over whether movies are “good” or “bad”, which are entirely subjective and personal even in the presence of a common set of criteria which are rarely established, and instead talk about why we like or dislike a film? The reasons are always more interesting than any… Read more

My friend loves the movie Toys and to this day I don’t get it. I’ve never been more bored in a movie theater and when I recently gave it another chance as an adult, I still don’t get it. Read more

Sorry to ask this but can SOMEONE get me out of the grays on Lifehacker? Read more

hated as a teen, hated in my 20s, hate now Read more

Hook is a great example - I actually won’t watch it again, I don’t want to ruin my childhood memories.

Someone will lose their shit on me over this, but I stand by it: Goonies. It’s one that really only remains charming to you if it was always charming. Listen, one of my favorite movies is Ghostbusters. I adore it. I… Read more

I watched the original It (which I guess was actually a TV miniseries or something) for the first time when I was in college and it is absolutely terrible. Like laughably bad. I love Tim Curry as much as the next guy but it is not the least bit scary and yet people my age who saw it as children always seemed… Read more

Clue. It is great in my memory, and it could still be great except it is tremendously problamatic in all the ways. It’s one of those movies that really could use a re-boot with the right cast. Read more

I feel like I am going to get roasted for this... but.. the original Star Wars movies. Now I LOVE them (as does most of the world)... but when you take a step back.. the acting is stilted and the pacing is slow (especially a New Hope). It was difficult to get my wife to care about them with her never having seen them… Read more

Hackers. Absolute trash movie that I will watch every time it’s on just because it was such a great watch on SciFi (pre-SyFy badging ;)) Channel whenever it was on. It’s in the place where I put that thing that time... Read more

I can always count on midwesterners to validate a certain subset of southern dishes and i really appreciate it! Read more

this is a kind of shitty comment on a fun comment where two people are sharing a cultural connection. “hahaha people in the south are fat because they think jell-o is a salad” is such a tired joke. there are a ton of southern vegetable dishes, we eat more greens and beans than most of the country, and a lot of our… Read more

Every Thanksgiving we joke about a variation of ambrosia we make that we call The Pink Cloud — it’s Cool Whip, cherry pie filling, a box of cherry Jell-o powder, crushed pineapple, and broken pecans. i love it, most people grudgingly eat a token amount, and there’s always a HUGE amount left over, because no matter how… Read more

I live my life with the expectation that my coworkers, family, loved ones, friends, strangers, fellow drivers, my politicians, are selfish lazy assholes who couldn’t drive out of a paper bag. Is it judgmental? Yes. Is it hyperbole? Yes. But does it mean I have my ass covered when I need to? Does it mean I am able to… Read more

Hmm, the only setting I need to do is delete my Facebook account. Read more

Thanks for the list! The second to last should be Go To Folder, not Go To Finder, right? Read more

This movie was originally released as part of a double bill with My Neighbor Totoro. That’s messed up. Read more
