Yeah, I saw the trailer for this a while back and thought it seemed more appropriate for a film than a series.

It won an Oscar, even, over Michael Moore's Sicko and what I thought was the more heavily favoured No End In Sight. I know Gibney's now got a reputation for grinding out films with no attention to style, but that was the first film of his that I saw and I was gobsmacked by it.

Watching him play Mark Fuhrman right after his stint on The Good Wife was an interesting bit of whiplash.

Dear God, that's two movies he did with Baldwin. What did poor Josh Charles ever do to deserve that?

Being Al Gore's roommate, I thought.

The link is to the NY Daily News, though. That's not the Post.

I've seen that phrase used … more times than I can count. Is it really that unfamiliar these days?

As Jon Stewart said during the whole Limbaugh we-shouldn't-be-paying-for-women-to-have-sex debacle: "Give me back the Iraq war money, and the diaphragms are on me."

The Mission. Hard to pick just one Morricone, but that'd be mine if forced to choose.

This is why I don't think the "pays no taxes" thing would matter to his base. They hate the government and would probably cheer for anyone who'd managed not to hand extra cash over to those crooks in Washington.

There were definitely ads that tried to convince people of that, yes. Like "Sugar keeps my hunger cravings down" or "Sugar gives me that little boost of energy I need." It was practically being marketed as a diet aid. And of course, it does do those things - temporarily. Then you crash, and want more. Until one day…

The Canadian one that worked on me was one that showed stained teeth with rotting gums. Not sure why it was more effective than the one showing a lung tumour, but it was a big impetus to get real about quitting.

Short with big heads. It makes the women, in particular, look like bobble-head dolls in person.

And proposing giant parks that are just going to turn into sunburnt prairies unless a truly damaging amount of water is used to keep them green all summer.

Sorry to hear that.

McDormand would probably make a better candidate than half the real life ones. That woman has zero fucks to give and it's awesome.

Reminds me of the remark she made about not staying home and baking cookies during Bill's 1992 campaign. The savvier way to have put that would be something like "This campaign's philosophy is that everyone contributes where they can do the most good: my legal background means I am most of use doing such-and-such."

Which is a whole other thing - sexual violence against female characters being the motivation for male characters is a trope that needed to die at least two decades ago.

Being a Kardashian would be way better, of those two choices. You'd make more money, and sex scandals are good for business.

Oh my God, that sketch is so brilliant.
