People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

If nothing else, if not for the AV Club's Random Roles, there's a decent chance we'd never have had the opportunity for Curtis Armstrong to tell his story about working on the Gary Busey film "Quigley".

tough cuts:
Wet Hot American Summer
Conclave
Moulin Rouge!
the opening 40 min of RRR

Simmons did his top 50 most rewatchable movies of this century on The Rewatchables (metric is unclear, how much you rewatch but also just vibes?), and so just for fun, my own top 5 would probably be...
The Martian
Super Troopers
The Social Network
Step Brothers
Zodiac
Toughest cut is Inside Man

[S] Same gathering. Trisha Yearwood came up to us, starstruck because Tom Selleck was standing nearby. She asked if we thought it would be okay if she said "hi" to him. We assured her it would be fine, and she did.

In 1996 while in the make-up area of the Kennedy Center 25th Anniversary Gala (in which my group performed), Robert Downey, Jr. asked me to hand him some mousse. I handed it to him.

[P] Scalzi’s point is well-made.
Counterpoint, though: what if the AI tells me that I’m the specialest of genius special boys and that I might indeed have superpowers?

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

One fun thing about the Japanese is we love the FUCK out of Christmas and have only the loosest concept of what is going on
Merry Christmas! Please enjoy the opening to this Japanese Christmas concert special that I watch every year.
As far as I can tell, this has otherwise been scrubbed from the internet
