Did I ever tell y'all about the time I took down an Elf drug dealing operation on Christmas?

Yes, I know all my stories sound made up. I've just had a weird life.

It was about 20 years ago, the rare holiday spent back home during my world travels. My mom was managing a JC Penney Portrait Studio...

Merry Christmas to Bob, Bob's double who looks nothing like Bob, and the cat casting agent who thought they were indistinguishable.
Another Christmas movie that cracks me up is A Christmas Gift From Bob. Two cats play Bob. One knows how to do the shoulder perch, the other does reaction shots. One of them is three times the size of the other. So Bob's chonkiness just wildly fluctuates back and forth between shots.

it's me. the surprise character in Avengers Doomsday is John Darnielle from the Mountain Goats. I murder half the Avengers with my sick rhymes but you have to see the movie to find out which ones

An old thread is making the rounds again, so here's an updated version.

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the most enduring and adapted works of literature in history.

But did you know that he wrote 22 sequels?

Some are great! Some are trash! Some are bizarrely fascinating.

It’s funny when people act like using Twitter is some kind of complicated moral issue, like no it’s a site owned by a white supremacist that actively promotes white supremacist content this is as simple as things can possibly be
The richest man on the planet has a pinned tweet that's just straight up white nationalism. I can't say I miss Twitter!

- Laughing during Episode II bc Anakin looked like he was jackin it and the guy behind me getting big mad
- Packed theatre for Sin City and the crowd reactions to every gory moment
- My friend having to leave not 1 but 2 Jackass movies to go lay down in the lobby
- “Where did the turtle come from?”
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

FYI: Nathan Rabin needs your love and appreciation right now. He was in a very significant car crash earlier this week and is in the hospital recovering. (His family was also in the car, they’re fine, but he got the brunt of the injuries.)

Now’s a good time to support him: www.nathanrabin.com
