I'm Catholic (like John Kennedy) and by the standard of most evangelicals, Catholics aren't "believers."

Have you ever seen Criminal Minds?

I did read it.

I (no joke) think that one is going to be good. It has a terrific cast AND Mary Harron as a director.

I'm a huge true crime fan, and particular love anything about women killers, but I haven't followed her case at all.

I've never seen this show, but Criminal Minds and SVU are amongst my favorite shows ever. I don't think either trivializes violence. Criminal Minds is all about the psychology of the perpetrator and features a lot of sympathetic killers, who are portrayed as being made killers by abuse and such.

On The Young and the Restless there are two characters named Victor and Nikki who named their children Victoria and Nicholas.

Freakonomics has an entire chapter on names, including "creative" spellings. Who knew there are so many ways to spell Jasmine?

There never was a "Zowie Bowie." He was born Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones.

She played the Queen Mum in The King's Speech a couple of years ago. No wild accent or funny wigs.

It's the cheapest option, and thus the best one.

I don't believe in funerals. I simply want my ashes flushed down the toilet.

@avclub-7f0d5ceefd00ad8303401bdcf213eb83:disqus It is the opposite of the "women want assholes" thing. Men no matter how unappealing think that they are entitled to supermodels. Women are expected to settle or be alone if they're less than attractive.

Clive Owen and wife too. I think in both the case of Jackman and Owen's wives is that were attractive when they were younger and didn't age well.

No, you don't see it. If you're an ugly woman (*waves hand*) it's automatically assumed that no one would ever want you, but all men no matter how repulsive a man is he think he's somehow owned a beautiful woman.

It comes up a few more times. Like when Joey loses his job on Days of Our Lives and his ugly animal statues get repossessed and when Monica is unemployed and tries to hit her parents up for money, but wimps out and asks Ross.

I really pulled for Rachel and Joey. I liked them together better than Ross and Rachel.

That this show did it was referenced in an episode of Raising Hope.
