THAT MEANS THE BOSS NASS CAMEO THAT EVERYONE WANTS MIGHT JUST HAPPEN!!

Jean-Luc, I wish I could like this a million times.

I too am tremendously excited! Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Max von Sydow - TERRIFIC!

Yeah, I was sure was surprised when I read about his leanings! But I think his cinematic philosophy may have matched his politics in that his stories on focused on the triumph of the individual. I don't think Mr. Potter is meant to represent capitalism as much as he is a stand-in for an overreaching government that…

Heh, I don't know how Capra would feel about that. After all, he was a rock-ribbed conservative and an ardent foe of the New Deal!

Well, I guess I can't deny that it's effective!

Maybe Matt Borgard is an office manager, and he hung those "Inspiration" posters with the bald eagle all around the office to encourage his staff.

Right! On a similar note, the apartment building I used to live in had a dreadful fire alarm that went off all the time. It got me wondering, why choose such horrible sounds? Can't a fire alarm play some Sinatra or something? As long as it's loud and accompanied with a flashing light, does it matter what it sounds…

I can't believe that horrid tone is still being used for the EAS. I didn't even grow up during the Cold War, and it still scares the hell out of me. It's just so awful-sounding!

AHHH! This is such a great choice, Mike. This incident really freaks me out for some bizarre reason. Actually, these sorts of broadcast intrusions in general give me the willies. Someone should make a 1980s-set sci-fi myster/thriller about such things!

You're a sick fuck, Fink!

I love that aspect of the film/novel. The fact is, Ratchett was an abominable human being who, I think we can all agree, got what he deserved. That Poirot is able to recognize justice when he sees it, and is willing to place it above his own intellectual vanity by endorsing a solution he knows to be false, makes me…

Bland and formulaic?! Booo! Maybe I'm just a sucker for a stoical trumpet and Horner in general, but I unreservedly love the Apollo 13 score.

The Lindberghs will hide in an industrial kitchen while Bruno Richard Hauptmann menaces them.

I was kind of hoping they'd collaborate on a film about Charles Lindbergh, since I believe Spielberg has been circling (HEH) that idea for a while, and because that man's life was rife with drama, from his famed flight to the kidnapping to his stint as America's leading isolationist.

"dschubba, who chewed through a mountain of gum and came out fresh-breathed on the other side."

It's interesting, Shelby, that you can discuss the Civil War and the Confederacy with grace and equanimity, but the topic of unreturned items makes you go bonkers.

Ahaha, I just got that joke.

Come to think of it, isn't "Why We Fight" basically the "Here's what Ron Livingston was up to" episode?

I was pleased to see that Eric Schlosser's Command and Control was a Finalist in the History category. It's a good yarn, and sobering as hell!
