spoilers don't work with historical fiction
Third episode guest star is Machiavelli?

disgruntled SWG vet says
This is Sony we're talking about. As soon as you start a clause "Sony needs to…" you know its already too late.

C. Thomas Howell
Did not betray the Wolverines, not like that guy who was catcher for the Phillies

Didn't Roadhouse steal the similar gag from Escape from LA? (I thought you'd be taller?) Or is it the other way around?

Two Dancers Enter, One Dancer Leave
I don't have to remind you of the rules; there are none.

Somehow, I told you so, just DOESN'T QUITE SAY IT

Machiavelli says,
You must call him Duke Valentino!

hehehe
'Moorhead'

Just finished reading this last night
I have to say, I had a hard time caring about the family, in the end. Not because the characters weren't 'rich' or 'full' or whatever, nor because Franzen failed at making them relatable or 'human'. I just didn't say where it went—I couldn't see the principle that gave the novel…

his 'first' movie was something like 'Wide Awake'. I think the twist was about a little boy being God or equivalent deity. It was filmed around the corner from my parent's house and I'm just upset that didn't parlay into me getting to meet Rosie.

If I didn't live 12 stops away on the Red Line—wait a second….

how funny is it?
I got the chance to see this at an early screening in Doc Films, which means in a theater packed full of smart-assed college students who know enough about movies, and have a 'well-developed' enough sense of irony to look at the movie as precisely: Werner Herzog + Nicholas Cage = how superior I am to…

In West Philly there is considerably more maxing and relaxing, as well.

My Strauss knowledge pretty much goes up to and including Persecution and the Art of Writing, which is only the point of the wedge for him becoming a 'Straussian'. So I'm more familiar with his Weimar writings that mostly involve criticizing cultural zionism while begrudgingly accepting the political form. I didn't…

Something that has been helpful for me in trying to understand Heidegger is that he is against reason in the same way he is against God or metaphysics. That is, 'throwness' or whatever, is in direct contrast to something timeless and eternal, be it abstract and 'objective' reasoning or God, creator of the universe.…

Earlier in his career, Strauss shows clearer sympathy for Heidegger. See his "Religious Situation of the Present" lecture, or, even better, look at his "Introduction to Heideggerean Exististentialism" where he literally calls Heidegger the smartest man alive. Even before he became esoteric, Strauss was seriously…

George Carlin
Toward the middle of high school and the end of middle school I thought George Carlin was the end-all be-all of 'comedy' that has its basis in stripping aside pretense and cant and what not. But, as I got older he began to feel like too much of a nudge and his observations lacked any sense of being…

The whole ending was so neat and happy that it seemed thematic, like the new Bad Lieutenant or something like that. Everything worked out in such a happy and easy way that you want to see something below the surface about morality or fate or something else fancy, but I think it was actually just stupid.

no John Carpenter love?
How does nothing from any of his movies get on here?
