I heartily approve of the "The Thing" thread.

You can tell she's a liberal…
…she's trying to look just like Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Jethro Tull.

Finally, I have professionals to back me up on the Hurt Locker being a bullshit movie.

Hey, you sign on the be president of the NRA, you got to take the fat man chasing you with a picture of a murdered girl along with it.

This is right up there with Gene Hackman retiring after "Welcome to Mooseport".

This is outdated
Because we now know that the surface of Mars is the home to Mount Olympus and Ancient Troy, and that the Greeks and Trojans are (re)fighting the Trojan War there.

What I Spent Last Saturday Watching….
1) "Hellhounds" Ancient Greek warriors fight the CGI hounds of Hades. Starring no one remotely famous. Eh.

Prine vs. Keen
I always thought Robert Earl Keen and John Prine compared favorably to each other. I think I slightly prefer R.E. Keen over Prine, but only slightly. James McMurtry's in there too, I mixed a CD of the three of them and it's the perfect travel CD.

You could always give up food….

I met Valerie B. when she was filming a TV movie in Texas. She was very nice and polite.

I guess the uniform thing in Hurt Locker gets in my craw because from 2003 to late 2005 everyone was wearing the desert colored DCUs—it was only all over the news every night (back when the Iraq war was still being reported on) and a lot of soldiers were fighting and dying wearing that uniform. The first time I ever…

My youngest son is batshit about anything prehistoric…we've watched all the Walking With Dinosaurs/etc series…and 10,000 BC looked like it could have been made just for him by the look of the previews. We bought it on DVD, and he was sooo bored. It's sat on the shelf ever since. If the dude could have just kept…

As an Iraq war vet (2005), I can say that The Hurt Locker is about as realistic as Avatar. I cannot think of a less deserving Best Picture, Director, etc winner. I used to watch old war movies and hear veterans say, "That's not realistic/not how it really was" and think, "It can't be that far off". They were very,…

George Bush may not have been in collusion with OBL, but he was sure cozy with his family; let's say the same thing was true about Obama, how would the Republicans be responding to that one?

Every garbage movie that people rail about over and over on AV Club, my roommate buys and LOVES. Law Abiding Citizen, Transformers, all the sequels to Too Fast Too Furious and Final Destination, the remakes of Friday the 13th and other slashers. In case you're wondering who it is who buys this shit, it's him.

Worst Songs Ever
This one is high on my list, along with:

Danielle Fishel already hosts that other version of The Soup on Style Channel or whatever, so she'd be more likely to appear on Community.

Can They Lose the Tiny Radar Antennae?
Because those quickly rotating little things were the cheesiest thing in the movie. Surely we have better technology now, though we have yet to invent the shrink-ray.

Fire and Ice
Just throwing around the names Frazetta, Bakshi, and Rodriguez, it sounds like it should be badass. I think I'll stake my claim as cautiously optomistic.
