Every time I see a picture of her I literally wonder what she's doing and how she's making ends meet. Like, has she had to do any temping or what.

Meh, some organizations seem terrified to fire *anybody* these days, lest they get sued. If somebody sucks you've got to document the shit out of it, go through "corrective action," all sorts of nonsense.

I'd qualify what others are saying a little bit because it sounds like maybe the timing is not *quite* right. Depends on what year you are both in — if you are half a year away from graduating then yeah, it might be a perfect time to contemplate making a move and being together in the same place this summer, and this…

maybe one or both of them worked on it? hence the familiarity and irreverence?

I just wishlisted it on itunes. It would set me back $34 for both seasons — less than one month of cable, and it would probably take me a couple months to watch it all. That's how I roll.

Her punishment scenario is supposed to parallel the experience of the little girl, so to have her essentially be innocent and attacked for no reason is part of the design. I thought that was interesting, really, the way the torture park was intended to mimic the original incident in displaced ways — like the…

Well, some of us DO NOT, you emotionally balanced sack of shit.

Don't adopt a dog. Somebody out there has got to actually live a decent life and do interesting things, and it might as well be you.

If it's gonna be THIS kind of community board meeting I'm going to stick my dick in the mashed potatoes.

You can buy the Region 2 DVD on Amazon (and play it on your TV-attached mac mini which has a perfectly redundant DVD drive in it that you can set to region 2.) That's what I did and I have no regrets.

The other day I was thinking about the gag where they hand Dern a plastic model representing her fetus, and she absent-mindedly puts it up to her mouth and gives it a little bite.

I'm sure that if one reads this review and tempers expectations accordingly it's going to be a pleasant movie? Maybe? I'd prefer to not live in a universe where Alexander Payne movies never get any better than The Descendants.

That's why print media (or, rather, print media read through the internet) is better. It delivers more info more efficiently, is generally more accountable for errors, and it's easier for the consumer to round up multiple sources. Of course CNN is leaving out salient facts - it's just some idiot reading the same two…

Well, this review and all these comments are horrible. So disappointed in all of you.

"I feel like it’s that quiet major-label push that we’re not supposed to see coming. They’re pushing it as indie rock, but they’re pushing it really hard…"

This caused me to look up the timeline of Rosie O'Donnell show and her implosion / coming-out. Also way later. Her talk show started in '96 and she came out in '02. Seems like ancient history but it ain't that long ago.

When tears are in your eyes, he will dry them all.

Just put tits in it. Shouldn't be diffiicult - the NSA is looking at your snapchats in their spare time or some such.

I'll add this — recently some indie bands have successfully sued advertisers because, rather than license a song, they asked other musicians to copy the overall texture, tone, and groove of the song. The smoking gun is an actual request — "copy this song" or "make something like this."

The groove is definitely borrowed, probably intentionally, but I'd say that's as far as it goes. One essential element that is NOT copied is the harmonic progression - the Marvin Gaye is very sophisticated, whereas Thicke's tune just shuttles predictably from I to V and back. Can't have "the same tune" without the…
