Don't write for the AV Club, because you will get pregnant and die. Don't write for the Tolerability Index, don't write for the newswire. Just don't do it, promise?

Far and away, the Law & Order thread is the hardest this website has ever made me laugh.

Great:
The Duellists
Alien
Blade Runner
Thelma and Louise
Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut

Make love to that wall, pervert!

Can you really say Wilde was good in Rush? She was only in the movie for about five minutes.

Yeah, I really didn't interpret this at all as a comment on rape. At 15, kids male and female are vulnerable. I think they were worried about Julie from an emotional standpoint, not because they thought Saracen was going to rape her.

About halfway through American Gods by Neil Gaiman. An enjoyable read so far but seems a bit scatterbrained. Maybe (probably) the strands will come together in the second half. After that, I'm going to attack The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood by David Simon and Edward Burns. I've seen the

Even with that mess of a final season, Lost should still go down as one of the greatest shows ever. This pilot is a prime example of what made Lost so great; action, tension, quiet character moments and the ethereal beauty of Evangeline Lilly. Even when the show got too wrapped up in the mysteries or stalling for time

We're really stretching the definition of achievement these days.

Sounds a lot like Stan Beeman's plot in The Americans. The CIA has been sexing Russians for 30 years, Dan.

The only times I found Julie tolerable were when she was paired up with Saracen. When she's on the outs with him, she's prone to bitching at her angelic parents or getting into relationships with local perverts. Saracen keeps Julie out of Marissa Cooper territory.

Call me Knucklehead Phillips, but why is it that Minka Kelly can't get another decent job after Friday Night Lights? She's not a terrible actress and is comically good looking. I know she did an arc on Parenthood but I guess the people in Hollywood don't know what to do with anyone from this great show (with the

I feel like a dumbass for giving them the page views they clearly lust for. This website is months away from "You won't believe what Seth Rogen just said" style headlines.

I don't know about Brosnan's best outing, but we are in agreement that Tomorrow Never Dies is criminally underrated. The car chase in the parking garage and the motorcycle sequence with the helicopter are two of my favorite action scenes in Bond movies. There are also a few scenes where Bond shows legitimate malice

Yeah, that 2006 finals and the 2002 Western Conference Finals (where the Lakers shot 40 free throws in game 6, 27 in the 4th quarter. C-Webb, you deserved better) were clearly rigged. It's an argument I get into with my non-NBA loving friends, who can't be bothered to get into basketball because they believe the
