The Catholic League
I'm sure Bill Donohue is already masturbating furiously at the keyboard while writing his condemnation of this episode.

Angie Dickinson could suck the sorrow off a recent widow. She had my trouser snake buried tonsil-depth when a heroin-crazed Brian Dennehy burst into my trailer and punched me right in the solar plexus. I ejaculated my central nervous system and she lit up like a pinball machine at Binion's.

"[Cannot] 100% enjoy this experience"
It's like meta-commentary on how boring and lame my childhood was. You Canadian geniuses!

I would say TDS if it weren't for the last few weeks of Conan's Tonight Show. Best thing on late night television for years.

The True Blood cast
Their Emmy presentation was a microcosm of their show - Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer say a bunch of dull, unintersting crap and Alexander Skarsgard proceeds to steal the show without really trying.

Joel McHale in the opening bit
I was surprised to see him show up, given how relentless Community makes fun of Glee (and not really in a good-natured way). That had to be a bit awkward.

Bar-Lev, the director, dismisses the idea that Tillman was preparing to denounce the war with Noam Chomsky in the interview here from yesterday.

The "Godfocker" thing
Doubly lame because DeNiro was a major part of that franchise. Even if this was going to be a good movie it would still take me right out of it.

"Men fuck things up, women are fucked up"
This episode made me think of that rant from his 2008 special Chewed Up - basically he says that a man will beat you up savagely or steal shit from you, but he won't fuck with who you are as a person. A woman won't hurt you physically, but she'll leave mental scars that you'll…

Misogyny
If there isn't already a column being written about the level of rampant misogyny allegedly on display in Louie, it's coming soon. Anyone who has listened to Louis CK's stand-up knows he isn't a misogynist, but the way this episode confronted the role that women play in enabling violent men was pretty ballsy.…

That's who that guy is? He was the standout douchebag on Tourgasm.

I prefer the Working Title
"The Boy Who Dances Away Oppression"

Today is my birthday, and this sounds pretty awesome.

I love his voice and think it actually has improved with age
But holy shit, Roger Daltrey is the worst harmonica player to ever walk the face of the Earth.

I'm not a union fan but the libertarian argument for disbanding unions has never made much sense to me. You'd have to be fair and disband all the corporations too - both types of organizations need to have special legal privileges from the government to operate the way that they do.

I think this could be a winner.
Neveldine/Taylor have some stinkers, but they also directed both Crank movies. Combine their visceral directing style with another batshit Cage performance a la Bad Lieutenant and this could be a pretty awesome, dark superhero movie.

"Why didn't you come to me like a fucking man and tell me to stop fucking her?"
If the movie doesn't have this line it'll be a waste.

Jesus, one movie at a time
Five people trapped in an elevator + one of them is highly dangerous is enough for one movie. Making one of them the devil is a bit much.

Well…
That's the last time any other male actor wins an Emmy for years. Jon Hamm should cross his fingers for this year.
