It's interesting, movies like "American Pie" and "Can't Hardly Wait" are clearly no longer current films, they've aged, their tropes and references have been digested….and yet you couldn't really make a movie grounded in nostalgia about that time, without it revolving around the Taco Bell chihuahua or something.  12,…

When I saw this movie in the summer before high school (maybe the summer before 8th grade), I was horrified at the absence of parents, the cruelty of the kids, and the sense of anarchy and abandon.  Also, I wanted to see a CGI version of Houston in the 70s (true story, bro).

Recently switched from 2 DVD's and streaming to 3 DVD's…I am the 1%.

The zombies were dead the whole time?

"Back to Me" is a perfect record (and "Failer" is almost as good), so I was somewhat disappointed to see her get away from that guitar laden, Americana sound on too many of the tracks on "Asking for Flowers".  Unfortunately, this album continues that trend.  Oh well, can't expect someone to make the same record over…

I have never read an article on this website that so utterly misreads the source material.  How can Todd wax poetic about what was clearly the most bloodthirsty and amoral of HBO's big three?  Is there an airline version of this show that everyone else but me watched?

How about "Margin of Error"?  Takes place over the course of one long day, has an autumnal Sopranos feel to it.  Not the most eventful episode, but one of the best.  That, or "Final Grades".

Maybe it's because of the publicity this morning show has gotten, but I recently switched to watching the CBS Evening News, away from NBC Nightly News.  Have to say, I think the CBS broadcast is much better- it can go wire-to-wire with hard news, which is almost as remarkable as a talking dog these days.  Scott Pelley…

The lack of period specific details in this film suggests an appalling laziness that immediately undermines whatever seriousness the film tries to bring to its subject matter.

http://masterofsopranos.wor…  Definitive and convincing, IMO. 

Ruxin's meltdown was great.  They should let Nick Kroll do more semi-physical comedy (though I'm a newcomer to the show, so maybe they do).

If there was a prize for acting like you wanted to stab someone in the neck, they'd have to name it the Richie Aprile Memorial Award.  And yet David Proval was equally believable as a peaceful and wise rabbi on "The West Wing."  Holy….acting talent!

Sorry kids, there's the no such thing as a hover-Batmobile! It's just a Huffy on a fishing line!

Tangent, but this is as good a place as any for the argument that War of the Worlds is one of the most underrated movies of the past decade.  The action set pieces are terrific, Cruise is tolerable+, and the movie is willing to go to darker places than just about any summer blockbuster ever.  It's like a mash-up of…

Banker's shirt, I believe.

That Corvette was bad ass.  A great minor reveal.

What to say about this episode, except:

There's a documentary on the "United 93" DVD about some of the cast of the film meeting the families of the real life passengers.  It's moving to see the actors' humanity and to think about the impact of a lost, non-famous loved one being brought back to life, so to speak, on film.  But it doesn't take away from…

Maybe the aliens just hate the teal vomit and orange vomit color palate used in this and other shitty movies (yeah I read that one blog post).  In which case, all I can say is "klaatu barada nikto."  Nice to know B…4 going to see it in the theater.

The article Melfi reads about sociopaths and psychotherapy becomes (I believe) the last word on the subject.  But it's not a reveal that should be taken as literal truth.  The story isn't "Tony was a sociopath the whole time."
