I'm sorry, I was taught passive resistance. Which didn't help much when we played against GA, but, you know. I think instead that we should sit in silence for a period of between 45 minutes to an hour unless one of us is moved to say something.

Yes, I do know who Fagin was. He was an oddly sympathetic villain who was Jewish. Guess what- I'm also Jewish. You know who wasn't Jewish? Watto. How do I know that? Because, as near as I can tell, there are no Jews in the Star Wars universe, nor Christians, for that matter. You gave an answer yourself- Watto was

If you think Jar Jar "sounds Jamaican," then YOU'RE a racist, George Lucas isn't. There is a lot of very valid criticism to make about the prequels, but this nonsense that gets regurgitated every so often generally says more about the accuser than the accused. They're aliens- they talk funny. You're projecting.

The fact that she blinks once during the entire number is pretty much a giveaway.

Oh, come on. It's not that bad. I actually DO rewatch this every year, just to see the looks on the faces of new initiates. And I sincerely, unironically, love Bea Arthur's number. There. I admit it.

It's actually a bit more than that- the campus they sold was actually the MAIN campus. The whole redevelopment of the West Village (including co-opting the Washington Square Arch, which is a public monument, as a central logo) as the center of NYU was a huge Hail Mary that amazingly paid off. The Voice, coincidentally

Oh, I know several schools with that mascot- I grew up in Philadelphia. I was being knowingly self-conscious.

I honestly don't see the appeal of any of his other features, either. I just think this is another one of those cases where someone is in the movies, and the media says they're sexy, so everyone immediately falls in love with a guy they wouldn't have given a second glance to in a bar or on the street. Like Sarah

Will someone please explain to me why people think Tom Hardy is good looking? I mean, have you seen the man's teeth?

What is up with this ridiculous new trend? I couldn't hear a word anyone said in "The Artist" and they're bending over backwards to praise it…

Perhaps because every time they try to start up a football team all the potential recruits learn they're going to be referred to as the "Fighting Violets" and decide to join a team whose name is a little bit more intimidating- like "The Quakers."

Actually, Penny was produced by Aardman Studios, of "Wallace and Gromit" fame.

Wow, I couldn't disagree more about Candice Bergen. For one thing, being "stiff" is absolutely a part of her persona- it's where her laughs come from- pretty much any TV Episode she's done (or comedic movie) relies on that for the first 85% of the show until her failed attempts to "loosen up" seem so ridiculous that

Wow. The Fozzie one is devastating- pretty much the story of my teenage years. For What It's Worth has also lingered in my brain forever, but it was on one of the Muppet Show soundtracks so it's always been easy for me to listen to it.

"Oh, if only Democrats were more Authoritarian, things would be much better for the country."

Yes, when I think of the greatest contributors to the process of making comic books, the people that come to mind immediately are that great accountant, Jack Lebowitz, and the employees of the former Kinney Parking Company.

You're the first person here who really gets me.

"Everybody looked up at the White House." I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he doesn't even know the meaning of the word "everybody."

Considering I base all my philosophical beliefs on the intellectual pronouncements of nu-metal singers, I'm sure I'll have to re-evaluate everything,now.
