They's called "crawdads" down there.

There's a chicken-fried steak in it for you!  Does that sweeten the deal?

@avclub-31f43af563e2dbc3370d34225f1f766c:disqus : class issues are definitely interwoven with racial and ethnic hatreds, and Americans are only starting to examine this outside of academia, since the end of the Cold War is finally letting us discuss the mere existence of different socio-economic classes without…

That's going to conflict with that other Senator's, "If Access to Effective Birth-Control Is Unaffordable, Tough Shit" Bill.

Oh, she looks very fake, but the illusion is well-crafted.  It has to be: what else does she do but pose for photographs?

I was thinking this same thing.

"But then, TV has been better about offering quality…than film for a while"

That's hilarious.  I should start doing that.  I'm 39 and look terrible; but if I tell people I'm 60, they'll think I look great!

@avclub-8856638da4354266a53ba0fe9aef68dd:disqus , I don't get that feeling at all.  I mean, maybe there are some really ignorant young people who laugh at her because they don't know who she is, and just see her as some old lady that gets trotted out for cheap laughs.  But the rest of us have decades of memories of…

Malinger-Her really doesn't get mafia stuff, either (doesn't understand why The Godfather is the greatest movie ever made, for example), but even she loved every minute of The Sopranos.

If liking silly buddy-cop movies ruins one's AV Club cred, then it's not worth having in the first place, because Lethal Weapon 5 was all kinds of awesome!

I don't know how she's done it, but since Demolition Man and Speed, I haven't seen a single Sandra Bullock movie that I've liked, and yet I still find her mostly agreeable.  She definitely has the biggest gap between how much I like her (or her public persona, at least) and how much I don't like her movies.  My guess…

Yet you couldn't resist working "taint" in there?

It was, but she had the worst role on it.  Totally unnecessary and annoying character.

@Dikachu:disqus , there have been a few misappropriations of cherry-picked or out-of-context Carlin quotes used to push a right-wing point of view by some incredibly ignorant (or else slyly ironic) people on the internet.  In fairness, some of his cranky-old-man stuff could sound that way, if you weren't listening to…

Yeah, photographing well is kind of what she does.

When Malinger-Her's father died, he was cremated, and Malinger-Her's mother literally brought the ashes home in a coffee can, because she and her dead husband were both comically cheap, so she knew he would have preferred she do that than waste a lot of money on an urn.  I think she intended to scatter the ashes…

Surely somewhere, at sometime, someone has written a song with a title or theme along the lines of "Nobody Hit on the Widow at Her Husband's Funeral."

The Omega Man has forever influenced my listening experience when I put on Beethoven's 6th.

That's a beautiful song.
