Hardest times in your history, perhaps. Not that I mean to diminish or dismiss your experiences, but if you place the last 16 years in the context of just the past 225 years of this country as an independent nation then even the tragic events of 9/11 barely register in comparison to the horrendous reality of the…

I think you meant to say Bon Jovi would have been the perfect choice. Hmmph.

Yes, when judge sentences them to house arrest.

Jon will be puttering around the house for maybe 6 or 7 weeks, tops, and then he'll start going into town, maybe to his office for meetings, and to appointments and lunches and dinners, etc. more and more, till he finds himself fully occupied outside the home. Fathers who have been working 50-60 or more hours a week…

Yes, but what about your mother's beard?

Um, no. The ratings for the Big Network late night talk shows far exceeds the Comedy Central shows', and so the money involved is much greater and therefore the competition and pressure for ratings that much more intense.

Attack of the Munn!

So, if I'm reading you correctly, you're saying that Stephen has huge feet, but we do not yet know just how large are Trevor's feet, do we? No, we do not. At least not definitively.

Hmm, see that's exactly the sort of hyperbole that John Stewart expressly sought to deflate. John was NOT a better journalist (as a comedian) than all the rest of the media. He certainly was more entertaining, and he was able to express genuine, sincere disgust and outrage with the preposterous antics of certain other…

You owe your passage into fuller sentience and higher awareness to the fanciful babblings of a pair of tragi-comical buffoons who so energetically distracted their exhausted, bleary eyed late night audiences with their Chaplinesque antics and Harlequin tomfoolery. Yes, that sounds about right.

Oh sure, people adore Stephen for his LotR geekdom, but Robert Plant throws a few odd LotR references into a one or two Zep tunes and everyone pisses on him and the band for being such nerdy nerds. Hmmph.

Well, you've certainly proven that you watched it. Hmmph.

"How can it be bullshit to state a preference?"

Because PG-13 is 13 times better than PG. A-doy.

I read somewhere that she went in for head reduction surgery. She has a huge noggin.

I once passed Raquel Welch on the street in NYC. Well, I think it was Raquel Welch. Could've been a tranny in a faux mink coat…

The AV Club

Christie was the 5th Beatle, or Christie ate the 5th Beatle?

Great, great film, but Meryl's part is minimal. She's very convincing and her face is just luminescent, glows with incandescent energy, but her part was too limited. She had a much tougher job in "Out of Africa" or even in "A Cry in the Dark." Even "Defending Your Life" is worth mentioning for her superbly rendered…

Um, Streep is an impressive actor and a wonderful person—from what I know—but since her performance in Adaptation my appreciation of her technique has consistently declined. It was during that similarly compromised film that I first experienced Meryl as an actor's actor, which is another way of saying that I was…
