Wouldn't rural Oklahoma have large numbers of latinos? While I'm sure there are many, many all-white bedroom communities out there, any place in America where people actually work should be expected to have a lot of minorities, at least per my limited travels. I'm sure when all your friends/lovers/relatives are white

I've never quite figured out a way to test it with likely getting my ass beat and/or killed, but is it really that easy to hide in a back seat of someone's car? And to do it in a way where it doesn't take two loud clumsy minutes to scramble around and get into surprise/killing position?

In the end she gets gunned down by Kanye West dressed up as Rosey Grier in Network - it was him and Tim Robbins as the assassins at the end of the film, right? - so it's like meta.

What was beautiful once could be so again, whereas the unknown carries the risk of never being anything. It's like the old "no one ever got fired for buying IBM" - you only have to be right about a comeback once, then you're a genius.

Remember in high school when the douchebags pretty much got everything they wanted and your desperate belief that being unique (sure, guy) and smart and imaginative would somehow pay off later on was the only thing that kept you going - well, guess what - it's high school all the way down. Suck it up or lock and load

I always sped through the Dany chapters, but part of that was how they never meshed with the rest of the story, except thematically. As for the Starks, by the end, only Arya and Sansa really appealed to me at all (which amazed me, as Sansa started out as such an awful person) - I despised Catelyn from the start and

She's pretty, but there's something about her eyes that makes it look like the valium has just started to kick in.

Is that what we're calling "Canada" now?

Moms seems like a bigger miscalculation than Carter. At least the latter got some good reviews, and it seems more a marketing and presentation failure than the sheer WTFness of Moms, which seemed to only anger the few people that actually cared enough to pay attention to it (by strongly presenting non-traditional

Just add the prosecution, defense, judge and jury to the payroll as "consultants" as well and the whole thing solves itself.

Though it is weirdly appealing to see a chosen-one type character continually suffer, get beaten down and eventually end up alienated, empty and alone, having failed at the climax and saved only by the clumsiness of his rival. The hobbits see Merry and Pippen as the heroes, Sam gets the hot chick and a life, and poor

Not quite the main character, but I really can't stand Mallory Archer. I don't find her character funny, touching, or interesting, and find her scenes just tiresome and annoying. Maybe it's not growing up around old people, or not having a controlling, emasculating parent, but she just come across as a petty, callous

I watched the show on Netflix a few years after it aired, but stalled in early S5. And the reason is I realized I hated every member of the Olympic Six, whereas (now that Michael was thankfully dead) I actually enjoyed people like Sawyer, Ben, Jin, Desmond, Penny, Juliet, etc. But the "core" group were so serious, so

The review makes me think this is a Salem's Lot scenerio, where some obvious evil is moving in but the main character is such a self-absorbed myopic asshole that it makes sense she'd never pick up on any of the clues, then total eclipse and evil wins. Even if that isn't the case, I'm going to assume it is and move on.

So why does this movie get a R rating? Is there some kind of over-the-top third-act bloodbath the review failed to mention, because the review makes it sound safe for daytime TV?

Well, the only way the "aliens are 99.9% human" part works is if they all have a recent common ancestor (which they more or less copped to in TNG's "The Chase"). So rather than evolving from primordial ooze, Melora's people would have been recognizable proto-humans that arrived at their planet as 1.0G creatures and

"a symbol made irritating flesh" - Bad Star Trek defined.

No amount of Z'Dar is ever really enough. He's like coke-dusted bacon.

Oddly it had been on streaming at least two separate times in the past year.

Between this and Dave Mustaine, I've never so wanted guitarists to just shut up so I don't have to re-evaluate my childhood. At least I always knew Eddie Van Halen was an insufferable asshole, though I half-expected him to endorse Ron Paul (not for the politics so much as for the basic fuck-you-ism).
