Netflix further slides into Terra Incognita. What are they doing with my 17 simoleons every month?

"Mmm, this is last place lawman look for Tonto's weed."

I guess it was the whole "uprepared to process" thing. As somebody who's known / loved Probst since the FX Apartment, there's nothing that isn't scripted with this guy. Since the whole coup seemed to revolve around race (with what went unshown much more important than what was shown) and Bill's demonstrated physical

Seems to me the teevee industry was finally successful in making people believe this is Reality. It's all bad acting, manipulative directing, shady cutting, and frankly, downright insulting story-lining. They really think we're so stupid to believe this crap?

"And I'm working with some great actors … tennis ball on a stick, green screen, they're all class acts!"

The Dr Katz, Professional Therapist guys should rip off Topher's Mac and rotoscope the shit out of his final cut.

Still not as uninformed as Ray Comfort on the banana.

I never thought there'd be days like this
there was always someone at my door
I never thought I would ever miss
'n' the crowd would always holler for more
and now it seems all that people want
is what I used to be

For me the gags were a setup for what happened to me last summer (ragged chunk of pvc got embedded in my forehead during a weedwhacking session) and what I frequently experienced the summer before I left for the Marine Corps (Nantucket funky pharmacy reference, naturally). The joke's probably a bit specialized, I

The "this place is such an east coast drug store" gag was full of yuks for me.

She did her job like a proper cork soaker.

Netflix? You mean the South Park Channel?

hilarious

to ifwewait: I don't think we can stop it this way. Humanity needs a great leap forward because this seems to be hard-wired into a lot of us.

God bless you Daniel. I am so sorry to hear your anguish.

Absolutely true. I just feel as though the school torments prepared me for the more subtle battles yet to come; they kept me from paying it forward.

I had a supervisor who enjoyed pushing people around during after-work team sports. I also had a manager who liked to physically loom over others when verbally disciplining them. He met his match in me during a company broomball game, and for a short while thereafter he was under *my* thumb. It did not feel good or

With the exception of work-based team sports and political functions, by no means am I talking physical bullying. In these cases, coupled with my height and physique, my experience is different from most. And, I find physical abuse to be much more tolerable than psychological abuse.

Hmm. Where else but HBO do you get an amazing Season Two that ups the ante with seasoned shit-hot teevee expert directors like Tim Van Patten and Allen Coulter, plus one very gritty feature film director (Once Were Warriors, anyone) in Lee Tamahori?
