“I, I’m afraid you’ll — you’re saying you arrested a UFC fighter but did not arrest television’s Mr. Rogers of ‘Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood’? Explain that to me because I’m not sure I understand. I’m troubled by this. You say it’s a big deal? Wasn’t Mr. Rogers a big deal? I’m....what’s the word for when you’re confused?”

He shouldn’t have deferred more of the time, he should have read the situation better more of the time. Instead of having one play where he’s in attack mode, and then the next where he’s in sit back and relax mode, he should have been in the mode where he was this year, which was basically, “How the fuck am I going to…

The first statement is true. The second statement is truther.

Looks like you’re the first.

What’s surprising is the degree of caution and self-honesty that any accomplished soloist needs to cultivate. You don’t last long if you are reckless, or climbing for the wrong reasons, or talking yourself into a solo that you are not ready for. But the good ones — the Honnolds, the Crofts, the Bachars — will wait…

I used to play third base, but I never quite mastered the slowing-down-time thing.

I think Kareem is most definitely in the GOAT conversation. I hate to invoke Bill Simmons, but he wrote half an article (then probably devolved into incoherent rambling) basically saying if you were drafting someone’s career, you would take Abdul Jabbar first no brainer.

Many of the old varieties came from ‘sports’ — genetic variants of the scion tree, which were the propagated thru cuttings.

CSI:Orchard - Owww, won’t get stewed again!

So, fortunately my opinion isn’t worth anything, but this has to be my least favorite thing about the feminist movement of the 60s, 70s and 80s. The whole artistic expression thing where you take performance art or abstract art in whatever form it may take and somehow mesh it into the mystique/spiritual side of the…

All this picking means the same shit as it always does— letting the Perfect be the enemy of the Good.

Because some people like to hear themselves bitch.

Agreed. Who cares about the wording? All this picking just means we’re being harder on people who are committing to do more to see female directors succeed in Hollywood than we are on people who work with men exclusively (either on purpose or by chance) but keep their mouths shut about it. That’s fucked up.

Yeah, it’s not like she doesn’t have a pretty good track record of being thoughtful about her roles. I don’t know why people assume she’s being insincere.

I’m not sure I understand the backlash to this comment. Nicole Kidman practically begged Jane Campion on bended knee to do Portrait of a Lady. She continually picks incredibly off the beaten path roles with nuanced (not strong, not perfect) women. I totally get her sentiment. Movie making is weird and can be super…

Katie Holmes, I heard.

Similarly, if Sean Hannity were murdered, I would find that very interesting. My heart would not be troubled in the least.

The Warriors complaining about dirty plays and illegal screens. OK

Your list reads like Sanford & Son and Barney Miller didn’t exist.

And conservatives who are too scared to even drive through a city love him because he’s a black person who calls other black people animals.
