Righteous anger convinces people to do a lot of stuff they might not do otherwise.

If he was still around I think ernest borgnine could have nailed it

Yeah, and if my aunt had a dick she'd be my uncle. What is the point of this conversation? Do we really need to construct fantasy scenarios in an attempt to remove the racial factor in a trial that was the most racially polarizing event of the 90s in America?

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I dunno bout that fam. Gena Rowlands was like legitimately unstable, and it gave her performance a manic disposition that was both frightening and completely believable. I kinda feel like Metcalf was chewing the scenery a little bit, or at the very least pulling a character out - you know what I

Cochran also described the tapes to Judge Ito as “‘like Lay’s potato chips— you can’t put them down, and you can’t eat just one.’”

If he didn't have any, he wouldn't have lived in the place he did, or had the friends he had, or had the celebrity he did. To say this trial was "really about money" is like saying hitting home runs is about throwing the ball.

I keep circulating the two infuriating thoughts that OJ literally got away with murder due to expert lawyering and a side-show, and the fact that the murders OJ got away with pale in comparison to the cultural racism that allowed the defense to be valid in the first place.

I legit cried a little. Schwimmer does a fantastic job of showing a guy who ultimately was simply a bit of a putz that got in way over his head because of his blind loyalty. You really feel the inner conflict of RK's thoughts - who the hell have I been friends with for the last 20 years?

Have you seen Band of Brothers?

I am always reminded of the argument in the apartment in Contempt.

I feel like that's the whole point. Clark is trying to posture and play the head games like Johnny, but she simply isn't cut out for it. That aside, I thought it was a pretty good burn.

Did you ever think they might be darlings because, gee, they're actually good?

Penny Dreadful was a thrilling desert but not a whole meal. OITNB I could not agree more, thought season 3 was their best. Transparent should have been near the bottom of the top 10. It was still revelatory, but didn't quite recapture the vivacity of the first season.

You praise the motherfucking GOLDBERGS and American Dad, and shit on shows like Nathan For You, Archer, and Rick & Morty. You're a joke

I'm sorry but Fargo is not on the level of a show like The Americans. It's like having a really good burger instead of a Michelin 3-star meal.

I understand putting Mad Men as a show over The Americans. I don't agree with it, but I can totally see why you would (it was pretty fucking great.) But let's not kid ourselves - as good as Hamm was, Rhys was on another level.

I was pretty drunk I'll admit, but I honestly didn't notice she was trans until they mentioned it at the end of the episode.

im still in denial

"Can you keep a secret?"
"Yes!"
"So can I"

some of chuck was pretty legit, seasons 1-2 especially
