IMPRISONING ME
ALL THAT I SEE

Can we create some kind of tableau to illustrate the situation better?

Grouchy old crank, isn't he?  A lack of boudin'll do that to you.

Hey now. Hey.  HEY.  Those gentlemen are "swampbillies."

For certain values of "self-aware."

Serious question: if the movie had been pro-union, would you still consider it overly didactic?

Dear God.  I was a mild-mannered nerd back in school, but even I'm fighting the urge to go find this Stuart Murdoch guy, wherever he might be, and give him a "swirlie."

Who says the prison group has rough luck?  They've got the only girl Beth's age in the whole damned country who wouldn't have broken into an impromptu Ke$ha song.

Not to mention (cue semi-Shyamalan pseudotwist), my one confirmed slaveholding great-great-grandfather was 100% Cherokee Indian—family rumor has it that he greased palms to evade the ToT.  Point is, moral ambiguity lurks at every turn in our history, and no American—antislavery or not, recent immigrant or not, white…

At least one, and possibly more, of my direct forebears were slaveowners.  Should I pay extra taxes or something?

Cover them with anchovies and salmonella-riddled dressing?

Weirdly, Kate Jackson was always my favorite.

That's pretty amusing.  (Never been to freerepublic myself, but that's exactly why I don't buy American cars!)

Karen Valentine in Room 222 barely beat Wagner to the punch … but after that, it was all Jaime.

Age cannot wither, nor custom stale, the memories of my Steve Austin action figure with removable bionic modules and see-through head lens.

I know what you mean, @avclub-68ed797b8372d94e15f9cce7ff19a2dc:disqus  … wait.  Are we talking about the same ones as each other?

She was Jessica Paré's mom AND Lohan's?  That's some serious maternal peaks & valleys right there.

I can't go for that.  No … no can do.

I call it "Julia Ormond's Palsy."  It's hiddenly inherent, rather than directly contracted, and attacks the career in the womb—before birth, but after the magazine features have already run.

I really wanted not to like that comment.
