I'd say watch out with that kind of talk. But he... Won't be reading this.

I felt he was channeling Kubrick as well. The three Stanley P’s: Presentation, Pacing and Performances were all there.

Finally, Trent Richardson has something in common with a great running back.

Unreleased mode.

Nonsense. The ending was merely predictable because you had seen the trailer. Obviously there was gonna be a serious mishap and she was gonna get out either by herself or the kid was gonna smuggle her out, but this in no way soiled the last 30 min.

Reminds me of one of my favorite jokes: What’s the difference between mono and herpes?

Kevin Jepsen tried to blow Archer a kiss but blew a save instead.

In a related story, SEC football teams will henceforth play only eight regular season games.

Hinchcliffe hit the wall in almost the same spot as Gordon Smiley did during qualifying for Indy 500 on May 15, 1982.
