I'm going to giva a perhaps dissenting opinion and just day bail now. To me, Lost was not at all worth the slog you have to go through for payoff moments. The wife and I got through season 2 and quit. Once we heard how lame it got after season 3, we were glad we bailed when we did.

It won because Weinstein Corp is very, very good at promoting and winning awards for their films. Look at all the Oscars over the last decade where you kind of shrug and wonder how it won. Good chance it's a Weinstein film.

Of COURSE Spock's Khan! was silly. That was the point! At least I thought so. How long since you saw the original? The Khan! Kirk let's out is pretty ridiculous on its own. I actually watched it last night after getting home from the theater.

Sat night - Madhatter's Ball, a benefit for Lookingglass Theater in Chicago. Really fun time again. And man do they instruct bartenders to pour heavy. They ran out of vodka and beer this year. The late night drunken dancing in the crowd was hilarious.

I'm assuming you're watching Samurai Champloo on netflix instant, which of course means dubbed. That show is much, much better in original language. Fuu, especially, is not really irritating in the same way she is in the high pitched english voice. And having the actor who did Spike in Cowboy Bebop do the exact same…

That reminds me, Richard Pryor Jr is in Chicago at the moment, performing in a small venue play "Lipstick Goes on Last." The title alone was enough to catch my eye. I think it's here until late June.

The real revelation of Deep Blue Sea? A brother gets to live! LL Cool J's character loses a leg, but he survives! That shit never happens!

I remember Die Hard 2 in the middle of that era's version of the neverending 'Hollywood is too violent' narrative. The theme at the time was 'sequels pack on excess violence.' The body count for Die Hard to #2 was sonething like 10 dead people to around 250. Most of that of course from the plane crash.

Yeah, it was brutal. The level of questioning never got past "Chris Farley Show" level.

Here's another great one! Man has a way with words!

Q: You usually use very well known pop-culture songs. Is there a
specific intention behind that besides it just fitting a scene well?

The more you say, the less sense you make.

Actually, someone did literally say that. It was Zack fucking Snyder. Do your homework.

Oh dear god. Really? Fucking Sucker Punch? This movie is so bad it makes my head hurt. Literally. I had a splitting headache after sitting through this trash.
Snyder is not just an idiot and bad writer, he and his wife seen to not understand human sexuality. The notion that the pair thought this would be empowering to…

Um, I'm pretty sure this one writes itself. Everytime a character takes a shot in the mouth, so do you.

I did not. We don't have cable in my house. Sounds like she's walking that fine line between quirkily charming and sadly desperate.

That or attention whore despairation.

Short answer, yes that's true. As to the specifics I can't say, but think how the content has changed in Comedy Central for example. Think of the words and swears which were generally allowed through the years on South Park, then Chappelle's Show.

This somehow brings Ke$ha up a notch in my book, due to excessive wierdness. That brings her up to notch one.

You're not alone on that one C-Monster.
