I assume there is a backup Deadspin staff somewhere? There is a contingency plan for when you are all immediately eaten? I need to know there is a Deadspin fail safe.

I always feel like I should note the tally each time we have an A. So here are the A’s I’ve personally given since Grierson & Leitch started here ... lord, has it really been more than three years? I’ve been reviewing movie for Deadspin longer than I *ran* Deadspin. Read more

This is my pre-emptive "sorry, James Wan directed this, not Justin Lin" apology. I am an idiot and accept your scorn. The movie is still awesome. Read more

Directed by Saul Goodman! (Or Jimmy McGill, take your pick.) Read more

Never heard of him. Read more

Sometimes, yeah. (OK, every day.) Read more

Craggs has gone to my last two book release parties and, awesomely, worn the same Cubs shirt to both.

The issue isn't not that it's truthful: It's that the Christian groups that this movie is going after are going to be furious. (And already are, actually: http://www.wnd.com/2014/12/exodus… ) Read more

I'm such a Midwestern-fastest-way-to-get-there fetishist, so this has been an extremely fun conversation. Read more

No, I'm complimenting "Young Frankenstein." "Young Frankenstein" is awesome. Read more

I agree with pretty much everything you say here. Read more

Aw, that movie is so great. Plus, it had my mom's favorite actor from "As The World Turns" as the father. (Who later killed himself.) Read more

Yes. Sorry. That's what I meant to type. That's a bit embarrassing. Read more

As much as I wish this were true, it isn't. Read more

Oh, I can do so much better than those. Read more
