Oh - I *did* know you were joking, Man from the future.

— Johnny Cash can pull off "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die" and make it either funny or poignant (depending on the version, depending on your mood too I guess) and I would argue he's the only singer who could.

Glad to see this review.  Caught the first one on dvd and was pleasantly surprised (nothing great, but enjoyable and funny).
As for the PG-13 mention at the end of this review… good.  I'm no stranger to gore and entrails and such, but if it's not needed?  Don't use it.  You can have dead bodies and creative killings in…

An even further aside, and a book recommendation (the book I always think of when I think of Roman's stance on hard sf vs. fantasy):    The Iron Dragon's Daughter, by  Michael Swanwick. 
It's from 1993 I think, a flatout brilliant and fun  book that combines hard sf (at least …machinery) with fantasy in a way that had…

Is this something I should look for?  Honest to god I've never seen Paula Marshall in anything but Sports Night, I don't think.  She's kind of a looker.

At the wedding, during the walk down the aisle… did they talk?

I  used to love to do sort of a John-Henry-vs.-steel-driving-machine thing with trivia.  If a legitmate question would come up, like, say, who wrote Wooly-Bully (well, it's Sam the Sham, of the Pharoahs, obviously, so bad example).. okay, a question no one knew, while everyone was scrambling at their smart phones, I…

I'm all for changing animals and weather phenomena for the sequel:  BLizzard.  Or maybe Whalestorm.

I haven't read RS for more years than a lot of you have been alive.   Still, their expose of the Karen Silkwood/Kerr-McGee thing was an absolutely riveting piece of reporting.  (And I can't remember who the reporter was.  Gimme a break, I just told you I'm old.)

Humans and sheep?  That's mad, I tell you!  Maaaaaad.

I'm worried about the US under Shari law.  That is, Shari Lewis law, the one that makes everyone speak through lamb puppets.  Not pig puppets, so it's probably Muslim too.

I love the character of Bill.  To me the episode that best illustrates him is the Halloween one where he's dressed as Jamie Somers, the Bionic Woman.  He's in drag, that's all, and that's weird, but to himself he's a specific woman, and his attitude is, fuck you if you don't get that (though Bill would never say that…

They could have avoided the backlash by re-purposing their famous Jim Morrison cover caption:  He's hot, he's sexy, and he's probably going to be sentenced to death soon."

Segel's great, I just watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall for the first time recently. And.. that Five Year Engagement movie, from last year?  It's really not bad, he and the cast are fine… it just has a clunky middle act; should have been a 90 minute movie, wasn't,.

Wow.  Thanks, Doc — I have the dvds of Undeclared and was just going to rewatch them soonish although I have to remember to look up the order… when I watched them there was some kind of order-mixup, the way they're labeled. 
Anyway, those comments might be fun; that show was also criminally treated and short-run…

I can only tell you how Pfeiffer is rated by me (I honestly don't know how she's thought of as an actress by.. anyone).  I think she's phenomenal.  Check out her work in, um, a pretty bad movie, Dangerous Minds.  She's completely commited to the role, uses a very slight Texas accent, moves and walks differently than…

Trumped by:  Did not want to be out-acted by Tommy Lee Jones again.

No, Lurky, you don't come off as an apologist.  I completely agree with you.  The US was at a point where, without slaves, their economy would suffer.  I'd argue that we're kind of always at that point, but that the slavery nowadays is not as horrific.  I mean, it's immigrant labor, or non-living wages. 

I always answer the "it was about States' Rights" argument with…  well, I suppose it was if that's what you wanted it to be about; it was about slavery if that's what you thought.  Or it could have been about getting out of the house.
I've never been in a war, but I think that each war has the same number of "reasons"…

The commentaries on F&G are really good.  Normally I don't listen to commentaries at all — I'm old, and so they seem too much like.. you know, talking during the movie, and you shouldn't DO that…!
But the F&G ones are insightful and interesting and funny.  All the participants seem to know they were part of something…
