Nothing I love more than insulting someone's intelligence in the midst of showing incredibly poor reading comprehension skills.  Perhaps reading comprehension isn't the end-all be-all of intelligence, but it's certainly up there.

Seriously.  Combining Michael K. Williams and Ol' Dirty Bastard is as close to combining my two favorite things as I'll ever see in my lifetime.

I don't know about you, but until you said it like it was something that wasn't just the accepted fact, I really thought it's just understood that what Boyd is shouldn't be defined as good guy or bad guy.  The whole point is there are these other guys being bad guys and theres the cops who are good guys but then in…

I don't think loving a character from the past is the same this as saying it's not as good as it used to be.  Just because you manage to strike the jackpot on a character from an earlier season doesn't mean you're regressing or screwing everything up by not topping that every season.

I'm a fellow PA resident since birth and Cliffy's pretty accurate.  I do want to point out that, while it's Philly on one side, Pitt on the other and Alabama in between, Northeast PA (where I live) is a maddening combination of both extremes.  The county I live in is like 85% nonrepublicans and yet we're, on average,…

I can see how that'd be an issue.  On the other hand, it speaks to their ability to quickly and efficiently set up enticing characters and the fact that it's an issue that you keep noticing proves they have the abiltiy to do it over and over.  If anything, their problem is that they're TOO good at their jobs where…

I'd like to also throw my support behind the so good it's infuriating angle.  I'm going to apologize for making Forest Gump references in back to back weeks on the message boards for this show, but as I was watching the episode I felt like the drill sargeant from FG who yelled at Tom Hanks for being so damn good at…

I would agree that this is definitely the best of the season so far.  Depending on how you want to define "one of the best ever," I'd probably be on board with that too.  You have to remember we're only three episodes into the third season so we've only had less than 30 episodes tops.  Obviously there are a lot of…

Questions Todd missed the perfect opportunity to ask:

I would say, if what you're saying is true, that your "liberal white friends" are out of their element considering the stereotype is JUST the top button to be done and not all of the buttons up to the top.  Perhaps your Mexican friends didn't give a shit because keeping your shirt buttoned isn't a stereotype of anyone…

I guess it depends on how you want to define the greatest moment, but for me it'll always be the end of season 5 and the above mentioned killing of Lem if only because I knew it was coming (not that it was SO OBVIOUS or anything like that but because I started watching the seventh season first and then went back and…

I agree the Babe Ruth discussion is a bit heavy handed but I like what it provides as one of the best examples of actual life in the 1930s.  The scenery and costume design and all that get their (deserved) props for creating an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're watching something filmed in the dust bowl, but…

That dude's not hispanic.  What he is, always, is the guy who's dirty and will always do anything out of greed.  Seriously, has he ever not played the crooked money grubber?

And by personality you mean hair, right?

It reminded me of the scene with Michael K. Williams in Boardwalk Empire as someone alluded to before me.  He doesn't carve anything up while he does his speech (I do believe he's using his father's butcher tools though that part may be inaccurate), but he's possibly more menacing for just sitting there while he talks…

Their movie That Evening Sun with Hal Holbrook is pretty excellent.  I'll watch pretty much anything with God Goggins (as coined by ZMF) in it so I've seen just about all the movies they've made together.  That Evening Sun is the best of them but I guess Randy and the Mob has it's moments. I got it on Amazon for less…

I was going to double snark you and point out that it's most often e e cummings (without the periods) but then I googled that shit and see he wasn't even that strict and often did sign his name with the capital letters and periods so maybe we're both assholes?

And now I go and check the link Todd provided to his friend's blog and one of the first thigns he says is that he doesn't see how you could watch this show in big chunks at one time.  I can't even fathom the logic behind a comment like that as this was one show in particular I thought lended itself to watching all at…

I don't know if maybe it's because I've only ever watched it on DVD taking in four or five episodes at a time, but I was never all that tripped up by the meandering.  I always appreciated the little slices of life around the country and detours that it took.  Of course I just wanted to see what would happen next for…

This show will always be the first thing I think of when I consider shows frustratingly cancelled before their time.  I don't mean to say it was the show most deserving of continuing past the cancel date (though I do indeed love this show), but by far the show I felt had the most exciting season finale that ended up…
