Chris Hardwick is the best source for what reality shows Tom Hanks likes.

If you were Damon Wayans Jr., why would you ever, ever think that was true?

It would have sucked, but it's the kind of thing the show's done several times where they ditch plotlines. Like, remember how Mary was supposed to be the scandal of all England if she didn't marry Carlyle? But she didn't and …………….nothing happened.

I'm gonna make a Wyman Manderly gimmick account just as soon as they put him into the TV show.

They weren't wrong that it's a show that generally sorta pushes conservative ideals, they were wrong that liberals liking it means something other than that liberals enjoy good acting and sometimes well-done soap opera in fancy clothes.

I thought she was going to be okay. It's generally been Lord Fellowes' MO to sorta hint at dramatic and terrible outcomes and then avoid them and sidle away, whistling.

Lovable Clueless Sitcom Dad is usually really a big douche.

Prisoner of Azkaban is the only I really enjoyed as a movie. Goblet of Fire is alright. The first two were pretty bad, the fifth one was bad. I didn't see the other three. 

Ennis is (or was then) the king of not quite getting America.

A small monument that pigeons can roost upon seems apropos.

The difference is actually that 50 years ago we didn't have ideologically coherent political parties. The Democrats had a huge conservative, southern wing and the Republicans had a huge, liberal northeastern wing.

We gotta get us some of that re-form, daddy!

No, it was actually just really shitty satire.

The alternative in our political system is indistinguishable from voting Republican, so I'm going to stick with less-bad option.

@twitter-499832989:disqus I think your doctorate might just be in baloney. If Lupe was motivated only by money, why the fuck would he be political? Is Boots Riley a billionaire and no one told me? If he just turned out rhymes about cars and shoes, he'd probably make a lot more money. So, he's either bad at…

Jonah Goldberg would probably be hard at work on Liberal Monarchism: The King-loving tendency on the left from Elvis to Burger if he wasn't really, really lazy.

@avclub-32b63dd70d870580128d83e930199e1c:disqus Palin, I think, got a fair amount of the unfair shit that any woman with kids running for high office is going to get from the so-called liberal media.

@avclub-de9878e9d33c60263a094abc94fab3f0:disqus Maybe it was a nice afternoon and the KGB just couldn't stand to be inside. Comrade, don't embrace counter-revolutionary notions that socialism doesn't enjoy a fine spring day.

The surface battles off Guadalcanal were all fought at night which ought to help the budget. Mostly, the sailors would just be seeing shadows, gun flashes and torpedo tracks. Until the big one where the U.S. and Japanese forces almost ran into each other and U.S. destroyers (about 200-foot long ship with 5 inch guns)…
