  1. If you have maggots AND spiders in your trash cans, the latter should take care of the former for you.
  2. They are indeed. Though having a smart, willful cat also has its downsides.
  3. I wish they'd kept that take on Zeus and his willingness to aid our heroes instead of making him petty and selfish like the finished film did.
  4. I suspect the temperature at my actual home office desk is around 77°-78°, but to get that I have to set my thermostat (located on the inmost wall of my apartment, shared with a neighbor who refrigerates his) on 74°. Most of the exterior wall of my loft is windows, and my desk is close to the biggest. I make up for it in the winter by keeping my heat set in the low 60s and using a space heater and lap cat.
  5. Thanos I guess I can see, but there are people who named their kid Anakin?
  6. Isn't the creator and star of that show her actual brother in real life?
  7. I'll miss Melissa and Alex, they were two of my favorites. Aristotle was a cast member and not an extra who appeared to fill out a sketch?
  8. I think that went well beyond "hitting on" and into "stalking like a pack of predators flanking prey." I don't believe Jen getting pissed off at that shows a particular lack of control.
  9. All valid points, but I feel that Jen showing up at clients' doors in She-Hulk form might result in a better-than-average collection rate.
  10. Yeah, I don't think Desire had anything to do with Burgess' ritual (beyond the baseline of their function involved in him wanting to get his dead son back, any rate).
  11. The designs and sigils on the floor were meant to trap Death, so maybe she couldn't reach across them to free Morpheus? Though he should have seen her, at least.
  12. A B&B I've stayed at has hummingbird feeders in several places, and also one of those spinning corn cob squirrel feeders that apparently keeps them sufficiently occupied to leave the hummingbird feeders alone.
  13. I remember those "famous bowls" at KFC having so many different components that they started smelling like garbage to me. While these keep the number of ingredients low enough for that to be unlikely, they look much the same and it's very off-putting.
  14. I too am in the liked-but-didn't-love crowd. Tatiana's doing a great job as Jen, she was instantly likeable and had me in her corner from the introductory scene. I liked the chemistry between her and Ruffalo, but I thought a lot of his line readings as the Hulk were flat, like he was phoning it in. I hope that was a deliberate choice for the studied calm of the character and not an indicator that he's grown bored with his role. I agree that Jen accepting that she's a pretty green version of a werewolf in about three minutes is maybe a little too pat, but then again the theme of the series is supposed to be her wacky adventures, not a realistic exploration of how life-upsetting such a transformation would be.
  15. I don't know, I don't see him meekly standing by and letting them make another attempt at capturing Death if he were freed. And he clearly could do things to interfere with such attempts even if bound by a vow not to harm Alex and other members of the household.
  16. It wouldn't even need Tony to be particularly interested in getting the info out of Steve. You just know he'd be dying to brag about how he lost his with Cindy Crawford or when he was a 13-year-old freshman at MIT or whatever, and if even one other person volunteered their first experience the peer pressure would be on for Steve to share as well.
  17. I like Miracle Whip slightly better than real mayonnaise (which is not at all). Once every few years I get a craving for pickle & pimento loaf sandwiches and have them with very thinly spread Miracle Whip. Then the rest of the 8 oz. jar goes to waste because I don't trust it when it's been in an open container for years.
  18. I'm left wondering how in the world Hector managed to find his way to the Dreaming rather than his rightful place in the afterlife. Did Rose's nature as the vortex somehow draw him there long before it manifested in other ways? Did Death bring him there intentionally?
  19. Don't forget Dead Like Me, which was his own creation! I think Wonderfalls and Hannibal are the only shows he's stuck with throughout their run.
  20. This was by far the best episode so far imho. Not a surprise given the source material, but I'm really glad the adaptation knocked it out of the park. Just a bit of speculation (I don't recall if the issue is ever touched on in the comics), but Roderick Burgess and likely all the other people involved in the summoning attempt died quite some time ago. Even if they didn't volunteer the information upon meeting Death, she seems to know quite a bit about the people she collects.
  21. I like cinnamon and ginger so they can put pumpkin spice stuff on the market whenever as far as I'm concerned.
  22. I just saw Donna Mills in Nope a few weeks ago. I don't think anyone on the planet would guess she's 81 if they didn't already know.
  23. That may be a matter of DC-owned intellectual property created by people other than Gaiman.
  24. I agree about not casting Ellis as Lucifer in this. I think he did an excellent job as his version of the character, but the writing was so far from the depiction in Sandman that it would have been a stretch to credit it to Gaiman had they not also used Mazikeen. Gwendolyn Christie was perfect for the regal, world-weary version from the source material. Possibly countering Dream's move by identifying oneself as his sibling would be bad form? In any event, as an abstract concept rather than an emotion felt by individuals, I think the adage "there's always hope" would apply.
