    "Computer, have you seen my milk? It clearly had a post-it with my name written on it!"

    No, they already had Sunkist under contract. Sunkist might drop them, but businesses are generally averse to change. Don fucked up landing a huge client that was actually willing to change to SCDP, and probably ensured they'd never look that way again.

    "The clients don't want to die either, Ted!!"
    "Harry doesn't get a joke."
    "He's a sensitive piece of horseflesh!"
    "Marriage is a racket!"
    "I haven't heard anything… about BurgerChef!"
    "I've got ten percent!"
    "Not only are you a coward, you're selfish too!"

    When I was around 10-12, most of my friends liked Monty Python. Holy Grail is silly enough to appeal to kids; I imagine that if you showed it to most 12-year-olds, they would like it (and a few of them would like Sir Galahad's adventure for reasons they can't quite articulate yet). Also, isn't Dr. Who a kids program?

    This is all very weird to me because before I read this, I thought "queerbaiting" was those videos where they pay straight dudes money to suck a guy's dick.

    You mean "mixed messages" like the scenes showing Hannibal and Will both enjoying sex with females? Homoerotic imagery does not always equal "these characters are secretly gay." In fact, it would be kind of silly to do that today, when you can have actual gay characters onscreen. When Nicholas Ray made Rebel Without a

    "And we're still gonna get that farm outside Bethlehem, right, Jesus?"

    Oh, I thought that scene was basically Will making sure Hannibal was going to try to kill the first FBI agent to walk through his door (betting that it would be an on-his-guard Jack).

    As far as I know, Toole never actually tried to get his novel published when he was alive- it was a surviving family member who shopped his book around for years before finding a publisher, and all the publishers that rejected it had a good point- A Confederacy of Dunces takes a while to actually get good, and there's

    Even though Fuller confirmed that not all of the characters will live, I would love to see them all set up in a wing of Johns Hopkins Hospital for a few episodes, passing documents back and forth trying to track Hannibal down. It would be like one of those C. Auguste. Dupin stories where Dupin solves the mystery from

    Let's just say that both interpretations make an exactly equal amount of sense.

    "Where's Jack?"
    *a bloodstained, unhinged Hannibal briefly stops trying to break down the door to his pantry and turns to look at her*
    "In the pantry."

    Remember, the whole dramatic action of this episode is that Hannibal is about to leave the country with a man with whom he has a special relationship, but one evening the man comes home smelling like a woman Hannibal knows, and he burns the relationship to the ground as revenge.

    It's still hilarious and great to me that Fuller built up this entire episode of Hannibal going on a murder rampage because the man he was going to leave the country with came home smelling like a woman they both know.

    OF MICE AND MEN SPOILERS

    The show is already at the end of book 4 and beginning of book 5 for several of its storylines.

    Well, I'd disagree about it being their worst album, but I think that the tour's success had more to do with logistics than the strength of the album behind it- they made that 360-degree stage that allows them to sell tickets to every seat in the arena rather than blocking off a full quarter of the seats for a

    No, you just need to suckitinsuckitinsuckitin like you're Rin Tin Tin, ramblin'…

    The new David Bowie record was pretty good, and John Mellencamp was doing some interesting things in the aughts. Bruce Springsteen isn't as big as he used to be, but his songs are still pretty damn great, and he's done stuff like The Seeger Sessions that I don't see him pulling off in 1980.

    I think there's no place for middle age in rock and roll. When you're in your 20/early 30s, it's still possible to make music about getting wasted, chasing tail and having existential crises. When you're old, you can do what Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash did, and start writing about feeling like you live in a world to
