Wait. Isn't every episode of NCIS: LA "terrorist-related?"

According to Pitt, casting himself as Savior in 12 Years a Slave helped the project secure financing.

I just drive through the suburbs during the holidays, picturing white folks sitting on roofs, drinking liquor out of mason jars, clumsily concealing their same-sex lovers from mom and dad, choking back tears as they reveal their terminal diseases. Oh, and shitloads of pumpkin spice flavored stuff.

On this episode of Enough of This Shit: Would-be adorable family dramedies, with over-qualified actors that don't look alike, playing relations. Remember This Is Where I Leave You? Yeah, me neither. These movies rarely work, but we get two or three every holiday season. Stop it.

This collapse had to start happening eventually. Empire was always a structurally unsound combination of Taraji Henson's charisma, Terence Howard's craziness, dodgy songs, and what-the-fuck plotting. There has never seemed to be much interest making these elements cohere into a credible show, in the long term. And…

Yeah, but even dumber and more boring than that.

"And then Ronnie took that crowbar, and started pulling out chunks of the Berlin Wall…"

My Totally Politically Unbiased Analysis of Reagan on this show:

That's likely to change for Danson next week.

"The most qualified person gets the job. That's the way it's always been."

This is a video of a goat saying, "Fuck these assholes!"

I had no question as to why Monica did what she did. This obviously wasn't her first time dealing with benign (and not so benign) racial bias trying to get hired. The fact that she was so bitter about it brought that home for me. Lockhart and Agos may have had differing agendas in their selection process, but the…

I agree Ruth was way too dumb this episode. Straining for Obama comparisons. If something doesn't work, move on to something else. That became ridiculous.

If this ends up being the final season of the Good Wife, I'm starting to wonder if that will be such a bad thing.

Glenn's fate is beside the point right now, I think. But how about an episode based on characters that aren't built to grate on my nerves?

Shit, they could have tried.

While I can kind of appreciate the comment Sia is making, as a composer and singer of pop songs in the image-oriented music biz of today, the Shaggy DA look has really gotten on my last nerve.

As for your Howard the Duck complaints, as much as I loved Steve Gerber's work, he did go overboard with the passive protagonists. Man-Thing, Howard, Omega the Unknown. These guys would get pushed around every isuue of their books, until the last two pages or so. Takes some getting used to.

Injection was pretty buzz-free when it first came out. But I knew I'd catch up when volume 1 came out.

I used to be a big fan of the Inhumans' past incarnations. But this whole push to have them supplant the X-Men, I reject as inorganic and forced. Kind of like the Black Panther/Storm marriage. And we see how well that worked out.
