I agree. Well done, and a fine bit of acting from what's-his-name. Had a quiet power to it. Far better that than having a scene with Churchill in the House of Commons.

And to "spoil" the one semi-surprise in the movie.

Why do I have the feeling that this is the future of the AV Club? A paragraph's worth of material serving as the hook for a discussion thread that draws page views.

Surely the "fucked to death by a horse" show would get better ratings.

My exact thoughts!

"I’m Sorry is like the comedy podcast you can watch"

Just imagine all the shit Virginia Cherill would have taken in 1931.

They had communication. Letters could be carried by riders on horseback and by boat.

I've had airag.

What gave it away? The fact that 80% of the content is stuff taken from Reddit?

And apparently when you drink it, it starts off by mimicking the symptoms of regular old ethanol intoxication. Until it kills you.

And her real name is….

That's the real headline. A 101-year-old woman is filing a lawsuit! Isn't that great?

The thing that shocked me about this movie was how overtly sexual Jasmine is. Sure, Ariel has the clamshell bra, but she still comes off as an innocent teenager discovering the world. Jasmine, though, with the figure and the hip-swiveling walk and the "your beard…it's so…twisted" line when she's trying to distract…

Yep, but they get page views and posts. Why pay Nathan Rabin to write an insightful and funny essay when you can just get an intern to post some video they found on Reddit?

Wrong.

The English bit is dated April 10, four days before the ship hit the iceberg. Obviously he started a letter and then put it away and then presumably grabbed the stationary pad as he was getting out of his cabin.

Militarily, the Mongols were badasses.

Don't see how anyone can blame Cyril Evans for going to bed. As for Phillips and Evans, well, Phillips didn't know they were about to crash into an iceberg, and anyway Capt. Smith and the officers were well aware there was ice ahead.
