So sports are better the competitors are worse? That sounds… well, sadly believable, actually. Joe Sixpack can feel distanced when the players a re near-superhuman, but if the play looks like something *he* could do if he just joined a gym for a few months…

Whenever I think of Connie Nielsen, I think of Lars Ulrich. Well, that and Demonlover. But damn it, they used to be a good band! And now they suck! I hate getting old! Stupid kids… on my lawn…

Ah, Gigli - ruining Thanksgiving greetings for me since 2003.

You have to admit, a smoking-gun recording where a panicked flunky comes up right before they go on stage and warns them of likely audience crush-death and they respond with something like "Then they'll go to heaven in style; - outta my way <punch> I said outta my way!" would be pretty sweet. I still wouldn't listen…

No, because when you're famous for a reason, and try to be famous for a different reason, that just makes people mad since they gave you that fame, damn it, and you'd better use it.

Nah; the remake is so different that your brain won't store the two movies in the same place. Normally in a remake you notice the switched-out characters, plot changes, character rewrites, etc. Here it's like they kept about a paragraph worth of plot description and made a totally new movie. A terrible, terrible new…

He should end all interviews like that.

Anyone else see "Tim Van Patten" and instantly start to sing "Master Ninja Theme Song!"? Just me? OK.

Ah, a thing about an artist's love for his own medium, which people who also love that medium will love vicariously, but everyone else will sort of think "that's nice". Books about authors writing books, movies about movies or making movies - I suppose songs are usually too short for that kind of thing. But even when…

Friendzone seems like it would be pretty fitting for when I give up and and sitting there alone in my room with a loaded shotgun making sure I've taken care of everyone on my revenge list because I take the 12-gauge express to Jesus. Just sayin'.

Having politicians in situations really intended for celebrities is kind of strange. I know that ultimately politics is little more than "show business for ugly people", but it just seems kind of dishonest to have a talk show host sit there while you shill.

This reminds me of a quote I have no idea the source of "People love to be lied to; they just hate being forced to admit they were tricked." Which is to say, the reason people tell lies in the first place is because they expect a lie will be more favorably received than the truth, which almost always means presenting…

The Monica Bellucci "camera following her backside as she walks for awhile" scene in Matrix Reloaded was way, way better than the rest of that tedious mess.

Except that books and music and movies have only been recently made with long-life-storage materials. Good libraries are full of dying collections on high acid paper, old film stock is dying by the truckload, and old music disappears as fast.Yes, digital storage has lifespan issues, but outside of cave paintings, so…

It honestly sounds like the crap that vinyl patriots spout about how secondary artifacts and limits actually somehow make a better experience because of the investment required to buy into it. I'm not buying it - this is pure nostalgia for a losing childhood, condemning the new simply because it's not what you grew up…

As long as the auto-tune is working, so it really doesn't matter who's "singing", I'll have mine with boobs, thank you.

"Woman". Sure, I guess anything is possible. Though honestly, I'm not sure I'm buying that the one on the far left doesn't have memories of peeing standing up either.

Chill dude. If that happend, it's be on the Fox News front page with a headline like "Obama Declares 'Americans Don't Deserve Dawes, Should All Hang Themselves'".

Doing this sort of thing as a negotiating ploy is one thing, but just going off and hiding is a great way to just disappear entirely. Physical media is circling the drain, and no matter how many of your friends insist on vinyl as the future, that path only leads to food stamps and mom's basement.

I only click on 2 Broke Girls (Two Broke is Never Enough?) to get a better pic of the stacked chick's rack. But then I feel like a bad person so I read the article and decide to keep not watching the show (as if the oddly-staged, unfunny ads they show on CBS NFL games weren't enough - those ads make the show seem…
