Agreed.  For some reason, I pictured Stanley Tucci (not that I think he was right, but that's the type I had in mind).  This guy looks like Jesse Eisenberg's doofier younger cousin. 

I agree that the Emmy voters generally favor movie actors/directors for slumming it, but I'm not sure that applies to Daniels.  He's a respected everyman who's been in the business thirty years, not a movie star.  I have a feeling that has more to do with his win.  I'm willing to bet a lot of Emmy voters know him and…

This is, word for word, the exact comment I wanted to see as the first comment.

I realize that, but they don't get that money until the end of the show (I believe this even applies to the people who don't make the jury).  They have to have money set aside to pay their bills/rent before they leave unless they intend to let everything go until they get out of the house, which takes me back to…

"Need" does not enter into it.  The show is not Queen For a Day - none of the prizes go to who needs them most.  They go to whoever the other players felt played the best game and who the majority of viewers liked best.  Frankly, if these people can afford to take two-and-a-half months off work to go on a game show,…

The MVP definitely fucked things up.  I don't so much have a problem with America voting, but a) it should be a power that can't be won twice in a row, like HOH, and b) they never should have introduced it in a season where one of the HGs had a built-in fan base/target on her back.  It only got worse when they…

I think it would be more accurate to say he prevented one big move multiple times: getting out Amanda.  Because of him (and Helen) we were stuck with her and her bullshit for most of the season.  He's such a weasel.  Worst winner with a decent game since BB6 Maggie.

I'm sorry, but there's really only one way to respond to this.

I think that's just the lot of C-list actors.  Whether they're starring in a revival of a play or a remake of a film, they're always stepping into a role made famous by someone else.  I can see Stephen Weber being good in that part - he does have his moments (his episode of Party Down chief among them) - but playing…

This album came out when I was 13 and I played the hell out of it.  It drove my sisters nuts - they couldn't stand Stevie Nicks' voice. 

@avclub-4645aaea95ece4efbef8cb9251a5ac3a:disqus Was it?  I thought I read it in one of the collections, but it could have been in TZ.  That was such a great magazine - I had a subscription for a few years when I was in high school.

Oh my god, The Jaunt.  *shudders*  That would probably work best as part of an anthology series, though; it would've made a perfect Twilight Zone episode.

That's one of my concerns as well, but remember that in the book the viability of life under the dome was seriously compromised by an event that could easily be put off if they extend the series.

Are you kidding?  There are people who don't even shut the damn door.  Heathens.

Mine doesn't really compare to Todd's either, but I had a big wake-up call when I spent the night at one friend's house.  She could be mean and sarcastic, just like Kim, and I wasn't sure she really liked me, but I thought she was cool.  Her house wasn't dirty, exactly, but it was shabby and untidy.  She had a…

Confirmed.  One year I went to camp (1982 sounds about right, I would've been 14), and one of my cabinmates was obsessed with Journey and Steve Perry.  Her prize possession was one of those custom baseball jersey-style shirts from Spencer Gifts with JOURNEY on the front and I LOVE STEVE PERRY on the back.  (I didn't…

They'll love the kid, but more than their own comfort and lifestyle?  Never.  I'd bet money Kim and Kanye are no longer together a year from now, and he'll be just another busy showbiz dad who sees his kid when he can.  Kim will likely treat the kid as an accessory that's fun to dress up for photo ops, but gets…

Unfortunately true.  That kid was born into a family of colossal assholes (hey Uncle Scott!).  I don't see how she could possibly escape becoming a colossal asshole herself other than by being not as attractive as she's supposed to be, which seems to be what worked for Khloe.

"I had no idea people would take my statements about black people the wrong way.  All I said was that it was okay to use the n-word in a non-mean way.  I don't know why my lawyer is so uptight, I don't think I have a problem, really" is the new "I do waaaaayyyyy too much coke.  According to my manager.  I don't think…

Not to mention that even now she loves the idea of dressed up black men serving as waiters, because it's so Civil War-era-ish (after, during…before, when most black people were slaves….whatever, it was a wonderful era).  It's just so impressive.
