The problem is that something cannot be labelled shoplifting or theft until after that person has left the store with the item.

Why should anyone spend any amount of money on any consumer good? Because they have the money and they get to choose how to spend it.

When I wore jeans and an oversized sweatshirt into a completely empty Chanel store, looking for a lipstick, I was treated like a criminal. As soon as I decided on a color, the woman who hadn't left my side the whole time took me by the arm to the cash register to make me pay immediately. I actually wanted some…

That's it for me. It's 24 masquerading as a high-brow program. I don't mind 24, but don't pretend that you're giving me The Wire. The point where I knew this show was doomed was when, in the pilot, the madame/courtisan/whatever who was arranging new women for the harem says to Carrie, "When I met you, I was just a…

I feel like Hitch began intentionally selling himself as a "controversial" figure and that has hurt his overall legacy. imo, he did and said things for attention, especially as the magazine industry (and his income) began dwindling and you could feel the lack of authenticity. I do think he was genuinely pro-war, fwiw,…

"I'm so glad I didn't write it myself."

Just watched. What a slam fucking dunk. The more of his work I read, the sadder I am that he's gone.

Awww, Baby Hitchens.

I can see that. I think that if this topic had been handled by subtler writers, it might've come off better. As it stands, I feel like I'm being Oliver Stoned the whole time.

Perhaps, but it's not as though the show bothers to make that distinction.

I'm not calling Claire Danes's character a racist, I'm calling the writers racist for coming up with a story line where the central conflict is whether or not the good white man has been converted by the mean ol' Muslims.

It strikes me as racist because the white guy is only a terrorist because of those durned Muslims.

Suuuuper islamophobic. The main conflict (in the first season) revolves around whether or not an American POW was converted to Islam and turned into a terrorist (possibly through brainwashing, torture and hypnosis, or possibly of his own volition) during his 10 years in captivity. Scary music is played while he…

Boring, poorly written, wooden acting. What's the appeal?

I couldn't get past episode 3 of Homeland. The writing is terrible and this show is obscenely racist. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when it gets all the awards. God love Claire Danes, but no.

His mother told me that when he was a child, he used to eat on two plates so she'd have extra dishes to do to make her feel even more useful.

What in the unholy name of Christ did I just watch.

I hear he does yoga in a park full of bear traps.

I bet he makes his own beard pomade out of the blood, sweat and tears spent worrying about working women.
