I still believe in the conspiracy theory that there's no Wildcat in the JSA in Black Adam because Wildcat is such a cool character if they got an actor with even a modicum of charisma he would've outshone Dwayne Johnson as coolest tough guy

If Eric Adams really cared about fighting the rat problem in NYC as much as he claims, he would make it illegal to spay or neuter cats in the city.

Balding guys don’t really look bad and it’s fine to just grow out your hair still even when balding. You don’t need to give up and shave your head. Like a lot of traits, it’s only unattractive if you are obviously insecure. In fact I am very unattracted to shiny shaved head regardless of age, makes me wonder how often you have to shave it to hide your obvious male pattern baldness, but that’s just me. Embrace your hair that’s left, balding dudes E: or don’t, if you like the fully bald look. I’m just annoyed how any hairline loss is responded to with “best shave it off” when no, you really don’t need to Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 00:33 on Dec 14, 2023 |

All the Brady Bunch movies are better than any episode of the original series, including the third one where Mike becomes President of the United States of America instead of George W. Bush and 9/11 seemingly never happened.

Now I go for a .5 and head of Action Man style velour. If I had the volume, I'd happily go the Dr Weird look.

If I had the volume, I'd happily go the Dr Weird look. My hair is luxurious, but yeah I too shave it to the bone once a year and let it grow to its current luxurious, beautiful length. My opinion is for guys who feel the need they must shave because otherwise people will notice they’re balding and judge them. They’ll notice, they won’t care unless you wear a hat everyday then show up bald then show up with a hat then show up bald then show up with a hat then show up bald then show up with a hat then show up bald but oops you forgot your hat In that case, lmaos will abound as soon as baldy leaves the room. Because of insecurity not because of the scalp. Nobody cares my mans, even Fabio is balding now. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 05:38 on Dec 14, 2023 |

I may have already spoke about this before, but the best donut for dunking is the humble powdered sugar. When it hits the coffee the powdered sugar turns into a delicious coffee flavored glaze. The bakery down the street from me will make me a chocolate powdered sugar donut if I get there early enough, which may be one of my low key favorite weekend things now that I’m old and boring. Also if you don’t dunk your donuts you’re only unlocking 50% of your donut’s potential. Every undunked donut leaves this world having not achieved their life’s ambition and, frankly, we as a society should be doing more to keep this from happening.

That comic is pretty on point. Ebert's populist streak made him iconic but his critiques are generally middling. His "Is there will be blood a great movie, or a movie we call great" is one of the all time worst failures to read intention and meaning in a film. His harshness on Zabriske Point is also bullshit.

It's a 158-minute movie where exactly one interesting thing occurs at the absolute very end. You will notice this is the only scene that anyone ever talks about because they've forgotten the rest of it except for a general good feeling about Daniel Day-Lewis and the thunderous force of his ACTING!!!

Martin released the first five books within a 15 year span. It’s been almost 13 years since the last book came out. The man has played us all like a drat fiddle.
