Because Maura Tierney.

I kind of wish we could just hit the half dozen or so best episodes of season one and move on to season two, but even so, yeah: Farscape! How can you not be excited?

I would have found it funnier if, literally the day before, someone hadn't shown me the Key & Peele sketch in which a Halloween party guest dressed as Michael Jackson won't stop imitating Jackson, is told MJ died three years earlier, and then sad moonwalks away.

He has fancy plans. And pants to match.

What about The Other Two? (Assuming I'm remembering the name correctly.)

I thought the reference was to post-Emmanuelle European movies of the 70s, especially since the fake copyright year on it was 1976.It's been many, many years since I've had Cinemax, though. Is that the kind of thing it's still showing?

Question: Could Vanessa Bayer as a 13-year-old Jewish boy be MORE adorable?

Maybe I should go back and give another story or two from Oblivion a chance.  I made it halfway through the first story, "Mister Squishy," and kept alternating between falling asleep and trying to claw my eyes out. It got worse when it revealed who the narrator was: the point of view didn't even make sense anymore.…

I've tried to get into DFW's fiction a couple of times (with Infinite Jest and Oblivion), but his maximalist tendencies just exhaust me. I loved A Supposedly Fun Thing and Consider the Lobster, though, and I'm very happy to see the Federer essay get collected. Does anyone else prefer his non-fiction to his fiction?

Back then, maybe b/c I was a runner, that was about the worst thing I could imagine happening to a person (in the realm of non-fatal bodily injury). Freaked my shit right out.

I remember liking The Bonfire of the Vanities, but I'm afraid to reread it and discover that (a) it's too much a product of its time and (b) I maybe only liked it b/c I was a hell of a lot younger and inexperienced. Has anyone read it recently? How does it hold up? I liked A Man in Full, too, but not nearly as much.…

Lara Logan should have been embarrassed about that Aerosmith profile. Then again, most 60 Minutes profiles of celebrities are terrible and sycophantic. Maybe this one just seemed even more terrible and sycophantic b/c it was a profile about a band that's, at best, 20 years past its sell-by date.
