Even Paul Rudd Can't Save <i>Ant-Man</i>
1. If you’re going to make a movie about a superhero whose superpower is being able to shrink to the size of an ant and then command ants to do his bidding, it’s fair to say that having a good handle of the ridiculous will come in handy. This is an Ant-Man! That’s the dumbest superhero power ever! H...
Andre Iguodala Is Going Back To The Bench
Andre Iguodala started every game of his NBA career until last season, when he didn’t start a single one until Game 4 of the NBA Finals. You know how that went, even if his Finals MVP award remains unthinkable. But when the Warriors take the court next season with pretty much the same roster, coach ...
<i>Road House </i>Is Patrick Swayze's Finest Hour, And Also America's
Here’s something fun: Imagine the conversations that Terry Funk, the eternally grizzled pro wrestler, and John Doe, the co-leader of the great art-punk band X, had on the set of Road House. By 1989, the year that this beautifully ridiculous action flick hit theaters, those two were legends in their ...
Marcus Smart Leaves Game With Hand Injury

The Clippers Are Going To Be Crazy Next Year. And Fun. But Mostly Crazy.
The Los Angeles Clippers have signed Josh Smith, pretty much wrapping up a summer of small transformations that they hope will take them to the NBA Finals. Their offseason transactions—losing Matt Barnes, Spencer Hawes, and Hedo Turkoglu, and gaining Lance Stephenson, Paul Pierce, and Josh Smith—pro...

NBA Players' Union: Adam Silver Is Full Of Crap
On Tuesday, in response to a question at a press conference after a Board of Governors meeting, NBA commissioner Adam Silver asserted that a “significant” number of NBA teams were losing money. This mirrored what Silver said at the beginning of the season, which the league repeated two months ago....
Take Third Eye Blind As Seriously As They Take Themselves
“Hi, we’re Third Eye Blind from San Francisco, California, and we’re high as kites.” Stephan Jenkins beams at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion crowd from the depths of his hoodie; his legs are encompassed by shorts and a glossy cylinder of fabric that could be classified as a skirt. Behind him, the stag...
Fuck Fabric Softener
Welcome back to Laundry School! This week, as promised, I’m taking your questions about the products that we use in our laundry, with a focus today more on dryer and drying-related products than last week’s lesson, which was more washer-focused, centering on detergents and boosters. ...
Rational Man: In Praise Of Late-Period Woody Allen
Assessing a filmmaker’s legacy can be difficult, especially when his career hasn’t ended yet. It can be even tougher when that director’s personal life has in some ways outdistanced his movies, warping our impression of them just as it’s changed our feelings about the person who made them. ...
Here Are 14 Things You Will Say To Your Kids A Million Goddamn Times
I have three kids. They don’t fucking listen. One day, God as my witness, they will listen. They will stop, turn around, not talk for five seconds, and say to me, “Wow, I never thought of it that way before. Thanks, Dad!” I swear it will happen. I will destroy entire countries if I have to make it s...

Fight Between Bad Softball Dads Ends In Blood [Update]
We don’t really have much context for this video. According to the person who sent it to us, it took place before or after a girl’s softball game in Maryland, and the pre-fight argument seems to have something to do with one man’s daughter being kicked off the team. Anyway, these are very bad dads! ...

The Wisconsin Senate voted 21-10 to approve $250 million in public financing for a new arena for the Milwaukee Bucks. The bill will now be sent to the state Assembly for approval.
