The whole thing is immediately problematic because you inevitably start to go down the road of the serpent swallowing the tail line of thought. I thought we were watching the finished documentary, edited and everything. What pbs-type documentary crew would include footage of the subject reacting to the documentary?…

Yeah it's strange, because if pressed I doubt I could turn out more than 100 words on Girls (nothing to do with the quality, I simply don't have anything to say about it). Meanwhile, I could write thousands upon thousands of words on both of the shows (and both with strong female leads) that followed it on HBO: Veep…

Bill Wyman, too, but only as guests, and Mick and Keith will make a point to mispronounce their names in the introductions to keep up the proud tradition of fucking them out of their proper due.

"The secret ingredient is crime" will forever be my favorite line from Peep Show. And Matt King's line reading is so perfect, so matter of fact that you're not sure if he's consciously joking or not.

So sort of a Schadenfreude's Wager?

@olivececile:disqus Oh definitely, but then having to transfer because you were in a bad relationship with your boss while he takes no responsibility is a product of the corporate model. But of course it came from a personal place. Anyway, the "not personal" I was referring to was the downsizing, damage to the…

That's only for whistleblowing tax fraud and even that is extremely rare as the article notes. Amy's payday would have to come from the SEC and that's a bigger clusterfuck than the IRS. Most whistleblowers (who are identified) have a pretty shitty number of years ahead of them.

I got the feeling the newspaper was from after the story broke, given the photo of people protesting. So they went with the big feature on the corruption, then like any paper would do gunning for a Pulitzer, continues exclusive coverage with the personal profile to play up the David vs. Goliath angle. Side note: big…

Yeah, at that point, the thing to do is yell, "No! Drop the weapon, step back and put your hands on your head." But in all the contrivances on the Walking Dead to manufacture Big Character Moments, I suppose that ranks pretty low.

That article drove me nuts, and people need to stop writing these things. Coming up with a cute name and working backward to fit a bunch of characters with very little in common but a bubbly personality. None of them see the world in the same way, none of them maintain their relationships in the same way, some of them…

I feel like I'm going very slowly insane as every passing week brings CBB's Would You Rather point system closer and closer to making sense.

You look like you burn as many calories as you consume when you eat.

I feel like the trailer s deliberately trying to sell people who aren't already familiar with the style of the films, taking lines and shots out of context to push some BIG, DRAMATIC moment, when we all know it's just going to be a snapshot of where their relationship is at.

It's so batshit crazy. The country that outspends the next dozen countries combined on military makes one movie after another about being "under attack," constantly casting itself as the wounded underdog. It's a seriously fucked up pathology these filmmakers and moviegoers have.

Walking Dead Call Sheet:
Meddling power-loving woman
Black guy
Brooding British guy with a fake Southern accent and five-o'clock shadow
Balding grey-beard dosing out pearls of wisdom and sanctimony, paternalistic toward Asian guy
Alternate version of all these characters to slide in when one inevitably dies

Totally, I don't mean to equate the two, I genuinely love Cosby and find some of the things he says at least an interesting contribution to the conversation, but we know he can be temperamental and didactic in a way that can have the interview take a rough turn.

Doesn't everyone just figure this out their first, first 10 minutes of WTF? I figured it was like an initiation at this point.

Woody Allen would be amazing simply because I think he's the best interview in the world, but also I'd be very curious to see how he deals with Maron's energy.

Her phrasing is so impossibly flawless. Also turns out I hate John Mellencamp a whole lot less when someone else sings his songs.
