I have to agree with Banmar on this one. Phil, I liked parts of your article, especially the riff on Grant Show/The Big Show. Plus I have to admit it's true this show has a propensity to change tone at the drop of a hat. I haven't read any of the "Dragon Tattoo" books so I interpreted the redhead differently, but…

Jimmy James - that's awesome. I think from this point forward I shall replace 'douche' with 'ugly bags of mostly water' in all occasions, not just here. Although… then I'll get beat up by the jocks more than I do now.

I was going to light into Whovian, thinking he was also responsible for a bunch of douchy posts over on the Who comments, but on further review I'd confused him for someone else. So… Whovian, you're normally ok, who pissed in your Cheerios?

Kjb1, I am THERE. Let's see if we can get some celebrity guest appearances lined up, starting with Bruce Campbell (maybe he can voice his character from Burn Notice). And then Gil Gerard.

Both the idea that Neal intentionally left the painting open and that Dano's character was introduced as a possible 'replacement' for Bomer are interesting. We're not going to be able to resolve them any time soon, I think, but for what it's worth: by now, Neal *must* know what Sara's knock sounds like. I think…

HAH! I hadn't thought of that. It actually makes some sort of sense—Mister Miracle is the 'god' of Escaping. Or 'Escapology.' Or something like that. He's an escape artist!

"Percy Sledge and the Olympians: Greased Lightning Thief" or whatever that movie was called that came out a couple years back and was a blatant attempt to copy Harry Potter.

OP, what's wrong with making a judgment about a film as a whole? Why would that be considered "bad" reviewing? Because it potentially influences other peoples' viewing decisions? Or is 'judging' something inherently unfair in your opinion?

Other Saturday morning shows I'd begun to think may have been fever dreams, but weren't:

Dusty Trail? The Good Guys?

We're perverts in Milwaukee, apparently. Check the last one out.

I think we're all missing the most important thing about this news item, which is that O'Neal managed to incorporate a "Manimal" joke into a story about Johnny Depp.

This was the first episode of the series I've seen, and I assumed it would be best enjoyed as Downbound describes. But I couldn't do it because Will was such a complete douche to the tall girl. After I switched my brain off and prepared to just laugh at the jokes, I discovered the only thing I really wanted to do…

Gah. "Did," not "does."

This *was* a great article. But does anybody else confuse Cullen for Tom Arnold when they first saw the pic at the top?

Does anybody remember…
"Whew!" ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

Are you implying Ingrid Bergman had balls?

I somehow completely missed this episode, and it sounds like a doozy. The Giovanni Donato bit seems mind-boggling. I recently discovered that my fiancee has the first three seasons on DVD (!), so time to fire up the player.

Gah, should've refreshed first. The ^THIS was to the original poster.

Oh man, "King of Suede" was fantastic. Haven't thought about that cut since the 80's.
