Just picture this:

Bingo, per The Banana Splits, having a "mystery date" with what turns out being Gloria the lovesick orangutan as per the Peter Potamus episode "The Island Fling" ... bound to include a lovemaking escapade or two, Bingo seriously ejaculating his heart out.

Haterating and hollerating in the 1990s again:

BLUE STEEL (1990): Slick, stupid, unpleasant Kathryn Bigelow thriller is copaganda for true crime addicts: New NYPD cop Megan (Jamie Lee Curtis) kills a bodega holdup man her first night on the job and is immediately suspended because bystander Eugene (Ron Silver), a nebbish commodity trader, has surreptitiously pocketed the robber's gun — which he then uses to become a serial killer while cultivating an obsession with Megan, trying to insinuate himself into her life and then murdering people she knows. Even though Megan directly witnesses some of his crimes, her superiors refuse to take her accusations seriously because she's a woman, so all she can do is wait for an opportunity to shoot it out with Eugene that won't look like she's set him up. Dire. CONTAINS LESBIANS? You might ship Curtis with Elizabeth Peña (wasted as Megan's best friend), but it would only make things worse. VERDICT: An acute distillation of white libfem victimhood, but no fun on any level.

THE GLASS SHIELD (1994): Underwhelming police corruption drama/thriller about the first Black deputy in a racist L.A. County Sheriff's station (Michael Boatman), who tries unsuccessfully to challenge his colleagues' various ugly deeds (including the murder of a Black prisoner and running a murder-for-hire racket) while becoming unwillingly complicit in them. His only ally is the station's first and only female deputy (Lori Petty), who's just as much of an outsider as he is. Except for a stupid comic book-style opening intended to illustrate the protagonist's idealism, the plot is pretty realistic — including a more than usually downbeat ending that's a grim reminder that changing systems like these from within is a fool's hope — but it's dramatically lackluster: Boatman is fine, but his character has no real depth; an array of prominent actors (among them Elliott Gould, Ice Cube, and M. Emmet Walsh) are stuck in dull tertiary roles; and while Petty's presence is welcome, she doesn't have much to do. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Nope. VERDICT: Its resistance to pat happy endings to systematic problems is commendable, but it desperately needs dramatic juice that's not forthcoming.

MYSTERY DATE (1991): Curious, clunky hybrid of teen romcom and black comedy, starring a young Ethan Hawke as awkward teenager Tom McHugh, whose slick older brother Craig (Brian McNamara) rolls back into town while their parents are away and sets Tom up on a date with the cute next-door neighbor he's been crushing on (Teri Polo), even getting him a new haircut and some new clothes for the occasion. However, Tom soon realizes people are mistaking him for his brother — and discovers that Craig's '50s convertible, which Tom has borrowed for the big date, has a corpse in the trunk! A potentially audacious premise is undermined by flaccid pacing, a needlessly convoluted plot, unclear stakes, and a protagonist who spends so much time reacting to things that the script never bothers to give him an actual personality. Fisher Stevens also strains patience in an obnoxiously hammy supporting role as an unhinged flower delivery driver, although B.D. Wong is amusing as a foppish gangster. CONTAINS LESBIANS: Also nope. VERDICT: Not dark enough to be compelling, too dark for a regular teen romcom, and it mostly just lies there.

Mystery Date

Summary: Tom McHugh (Ethan Hawke) discovers that big brother Craig (Brian McNamara) is not the paragon of perfection he always thought he was whilst on a night out with Geena Matthews (Teri Polo), his neighbour and love interest.

Surprisingly dark, wild ride featuring scene-stealing BD Wong as Chinese mob boss and establishment of Hawke as strong leading man.

Rating: 4/5

Winter Wednesdays Vol. 5

BAKING/COOKING

I made this garlic butter chicken orzo that was really good and would be even easier to make with a rotisserie chicken.

CRAVING

The mushroom risotto at Alioli in Mississauga is one of my favourite things to eat when I visit my parents.

EATING

The homemade hot sauce at Coppelia in Chelsea might be the best one I’ve ever tasted at a restaurant before.

EXPERIENCING

Forced the kids to play Mystery Date with me and that game really stands the test of time.

LOVING

San Remo’s had this giant Nutella selection of baked goods for World Nutella Day and their fritter was wild.

SHOPPING

Finally bought the tea tree shampoo and conditioner from The Body Shop (because I am single-handedly keeping that store in business). I’m excited to see if it’s worth the hype (the hype that I’ve created in my mind, not one person on this earth is hyped about tea tree shampoo anymore, I realize).

WATCHING

I saw some old episodes of Curb since the new season is back this week and I’d completely forgotten how much I hate the newer seasons. Just absolute trash.

WEARING

I’m in such a clothing rut. I just spent three weeks visiting my parents and when I’m there I wear the same three things over and over, so maybe I’m recovering from that? I need to shake things up.

You can read last week’s Winter Wednesdays Vol. 4 over here.

Hey long time no see! I'm just sending this in because I won't be on tomorrow when your slots are open again!

This time can the fandom be hunter x hunter?

Romantic please

THE CHARACTER CUPID CHOOSES FOR YOU THIS VALENTINE’S DAY IS…

UVOGIN!!

the man loves horror movies

he's a big man

and he loves cuddles

like come on dude

LITERALLY PERFECT

he would run his big fingers over your scars so softly and give them lil kisses

he would also just pet your hair or give you like a ruffle on the head lmao

he loves what you wear, he thinks it makes you look nice and sophisticated and just super attractive to him lol

he would love to hear about when you played baseball

he would also try to play with you one time and almost knock you out because he threw the ball so dang hard

he is your big huge cuddly man and you cannot stop cuddling him

he will allow you to crawl up his big arms if you wish lol

just holds you if you dont mind

he loves that you become a big cuddly cat, it just makes him so overjoyed

he just loves you so so much and will be your giant teddy bear frfr

💌 HOW WOULD HE ASK YOU TO BE HIS VALENTINE??

he would 100% make you a flower crown or something cheesy and just ask. it's simple and sweet, but enough for the two of you

💌 VALENTINE’S DAY DATE

Uvogin finished plating both of your tacos and you ran to the living room, almost spilling your food all over the floor. Luckily, Uvogin saved it, laughing at you. "Babe," he giggled, leading you to the couch. "Don't drop all your food." "I won't, I won't," you insisted, setting yourself comfortably before turning on the movie. "You ready for a night full of horror?" "Hell yeah!!" Uvogin's mouth was already full of tacos and you giggled, placing a kiss onto his cheek and starting the movie. The two of you watched plenty of horror movies to scare anyone normal, but you two were perfectly fine and fast asleep in each other's arms. The TV was glowing it's default screen with nothing on it, and you two were just snuggled up, snoring together. Eventually, Uvogin woke, finding you fast asleep. He smiled at you and carried you to bed, where he cuddled up with you and whispered, "Happy Valentine's Day." Softly in your ear. <3
