Mitch Albom wrote a column decrying the Red Wings brawling with Colorado. Because it sent a bad message to the children. Of Detroit.

And that he had a bullshit reason for calling himself the Blue Raja.

I don't remember anything religious about Wells' ending. Pretty sure that was stuck in there in the 1953 film, given that it's around that time we decided we had to have "under God" added to the Pledge of Allegiance.

The idea that Snyder meant the Spartans to be the Iraqis and Xerxes to be George W. Bush is pretty, umm, unsupported in the movie. Unless the rest of the world thinks of America as a 10-foot-tall drag queen and they don't tell me? I think it was tapping into the "Clash of Civilizations" rhetoric that was splashing…

She was better than in Temple of Doom.

Whatever Ricky Gervais was satirizing on "Extras" with that "Is he having a laugh? Is he?" thing has got to be just fucking dire in any country. 

My dear old grandmother, 1905-2000, agreed with you. She was a very proper white churchy lady, from everything we ever saw, who'd scold me for getting GI Joe toys to celebrate the "Birthday of the Prince of Peace," had an irrational dislike of pigeons and refused to move just because her neighborhood became the ghetto.

Where's "Firefly?"

Your Hawaiian name is Luxaui.

The problem with "Big Bang Theory" is that a show about traditional (sci and scifi-loving, not can recite entire "Simpsons" episodes) nerds and how nerdy it is should be really specific and feel like we're laughing along with the nerds. When I watch that show, I feel like a high school bully because the humor seems…

If the plot summaries I've seen to the second and third transformers movies are accurate, they fit that to the tee. Battlefield Earth, too.

My guess is dangertime's heroes have always been cowboys. I kinda wanted to be Scott Glenn after watching that, but I was stopped by the fact that I lived in Michigan, didn't own a horse and had some self-respect. 

Damn right.

Totally dumb. But it was so well-made and well-acted I overlooked that. 

Totally agree about "The Times They Are A-Changing." It was the perfect device to cement the alternate history for me, because I associate that song with earnest, PBSy documentaries about the 60s. It really worked. With Snyder, you wonder if he did that accidentally, but it worked like a charm.

Oh, I missed that. I'm not surprised, Frank Miller is exactly that type of asshole. 

Why is he not James Callas? I might watch that show.

That was a really good show and it seemed to be getting better. The arc with the friend and her brother hooking up was priceless. Just because of their morning after faces.

Around 2000-01 it was pretty much constant "A Baby Story" and "A Wedding Story." Those were on the outer bounds of educational.

I feel sorry for kids today. They're pretty much prisoners, compared to the way my generation was allowed to roam the countryside. On the other hand, they have the Internet. But I think they're going to lose the community and old-fashioned American values inculcated by my childhood.
