I understand the South's troubling history, and being from here, I can't deny that there aren't any belligerent rednecks in this region. Jesus Christ, though, it would seem that Northerners and Californians (screenwriters and showbiz types, at least) have a severe phobia of this region. Not everybody here is a Tea…

I heartily disagree with what Gibson drunkenly said in his rants. It was terrible, repugnant, and irresponsible. He also should never have raised his hands against his girlfriend. That was atrocious as well, which really goes without saying. That being said, people hold against him forever his poor, misguided, drunken…

I read a comment on another site that said that this was a three season show stretched out to seven, or something to that effect. At any rate, it was once great, but went on too long and didn't know what to do with itself after it passed its prime. I agree with you, G. Bob, though season 4 was ultimately pretty…

Yes, he did. It's also weird that, in just the last two or three episodes, he's developed a fainting problem and everyone's been carrying on like that's something he's always done. He can run into a burning building and face down horror with ice-cold water in his veins just fine, but he has to walk his daughter down…

I am pretty much in the same boat with you. I did not hate the episode but, considering that I've watched it from day one, even at its nadir, I was surprised by the muted emotional reaction I had to it. It did have its funny moments and its touching moments, but its cringey moments (the playground scene, the bad…

I've been reading surprisingly good reviews for that movie WARRIOR, which comes out next week, so I may give that movie a try despite not being much of a fan of MMA. After all, not being a fan of pro wrestling did not stop me from digging THE WRESTLER.

I know from reading comments below that lots of people here disagree with you and are fans, but I'll throw in with your lot. The guy is smug, unfunny, and only handsome in a generic fratboy way. He's not funny on SNL and he was the least funny part of both of the incredibly unfunny HALL PASS and HORRIBLE BOSSES. He's…

They did set it in the South. It Is set in Mississippi or Alabama. It is going to be just another movie expressing East Coast and West Coast city-dwelling liberals' Red State Panic. Because if we're not Mayberry types, we're ignorant, aggressive, possibly homicidal assholes. I say this as a rural Southern liberal…

John Scurti has always been good, and I've enjoyed him immensely on the show. May he find another great show to land on soon. Hell, I'll even go so far as to say that Leary's portrayal in this episode was the best I've seen on this show since the better, non-rape/angry sex parts of season 3. I guess he can be gruffly…

This new commenting system is for the birds. I don't feel any more special now than I did before for having registered, but it's good to get into the conversation again, I suppose. Still, I'm not feeling the ego boost and/or sense of peace/tranquility registering was supposed to bring either. Hmmph.

I've been bitching about this and many of the previous seasons all seasons, but the last couple of episodes have not been bad. Hell, last night's wedding sequence was for the most part fun, and that fire sequence was flat-out great. I've been wanting to write this show off for a while now, but if it continues to go…
