Yeah, it's no A*P*E, that's for sure!

Sort of a surprise that she didn't go to the root and start making her own kid's books. Well, other than the strong impression she gives that she despises children as a concept (are there any actual kids, or interest in parenthood other than as a kind of recruiting tool, in her books - I've only read like two?), and…

I remember an old Daily Show where the wife of a logger was horrified that the book implied that her husband was capable of doing wrong-by-association, so wrote her own children's book about how heroic loggers (the Truax) are saving the Earth. It was insane, but hell, showed so much more initiative and creativity than…

Yeah, any movie whose selling point is "none of these people are trained or experienced actors, but we're going to try to put them in a scripted, non-documentary movie anyway!" is a movie that didn't need to get made. I don't blame non-actors for not being able to act (be they soldiers, teachers or strippers), but the…

Reading the review, the only character that sounds at all interesting is the suicidal not-Madoff guy. Otherwise it sounds like someone else's coma-inducing vacation slideshow.

It would be interesting to expand the "characters absolutely no one cares about, so hopefully some zombies will show up soon so they stop talking" idea into another genre. Granted, Noir (which was more or less a euphemism for "cheap to film") was always really, really talky anyway (as there's nothing cheaper to film…

In sure it's just simulacra, but it would be kind of sunny if it meant she literally did nothing and got paid for it anyway (well, sort of, as she's "struggling") because it's New York, and vintage clothing and all, right?

It's a classic legal defense where you explain to the jury that come on, look at how much money CBS is paying, and seriously - every single one of you would take the money and you know it - so not guilty be reason of "holy shit, let's be serious here."

Now that America expects to have their lady sarcasm served up with a steaming dish of huge breasts, how will the typical size 0 comedian be able to keep up?

What happened to 20?

Actually, it was because the studios really, truly believed the viewers were morans, and if they weren't saved from themselves, they'd stop paying to see things. It's the same reason they're so incredibly conservative about a short list of items - they have always simply assumed those mouthbreathers will vote with…

I dunno; it's kind of hard to make a movie about secret renditions without a significant political aspect. Sure it's possible, but would take a degree of finesse - simply ignoring it sounds like a poor idea.

I dunno; the lactating Polish women sounds like what could be a nice substitute.

The best times were when the bully was clearly trying to provoke you to fight back, and when you did, your pathetic nerd punch did nothing and then he kicked the shit out of you until he got bored while all the pretty girls laughed and no one helped you. Good times!

I knew some otherwise-reasonable people that actually supported him, based on what they knew of him at the time. To a degree all politicians are followers - ambulance-chasers after the latest, greatest thing - but you do wonder to what degree time shows true colors versus simply forcing those who want to survive to…

Hair is not a right, it's a privilege. Get those bangs under control, people!

(That's the joke.)

It's like every year we set out to prove how wrongheaded, cowardly and masturbatory the Oscars are, every year we succeed, and then next year it all starts up again. No one who watches more than one film a year truly believes that a Best Picture award is the last word (or even close to it) about the best film made…

But that's been the complaint from day one: this isn't Brooklyn, this is an imaginary land frankensteined together from half-remembered Welcome Back Kotter episodes and maybe some old Woddy Allen movies. 

It's cool that Netflix is willing to take the plunge and risk running a company using current AI technology with no humans involved in decision-making. Sure, it makes all kinds of bizarre mistakes and has no concept of PR or humans in general, but someone has to be the trailblazer, right?
