I mean, I generally agree with you, and proudly voted for Bernie myself. But it's also worth pointing out that Clinton's policies and rhetoric were well to the left of both of Obama's presidential campaigns (in fact, she was to the left of him in the '08 primaries as well), and that guy did ok for himself.

Here's a free facebook hack for those of you who aren't willing to fully delete. 1) Hide pretty much all of your "friends." You don't need to unfriend them, but you can elect not to see them in your feed. Just keep the ones who say or share interesting things or post cool pictures (there won't be many).

From the leaked first draft for the pilot script:

Did he really do that? When I saw them, it was in a big fancy 19th century concert hall, and he encouraged the crowd to stand up and dance throughout the show. Also, the performance of that song featured a giant cartoonish whale eating Meloy, so he seems to have fully embraced the ridiculousness of that song.

This is a great and gut-wrenching movie. I recently re-watched it after watching a bunch of Downton Abbey with my wife, and it was a great corrective to the show's bullshit nostalgia for the glory days of the British aristocracy.

At the end of the day, they were really able to move the needle, destruction-of-the-empire-wise.

I think Bela Fleck is on the board that awards the prize (or at least I remember reading that he was in a previous year), so it seems unlikely he'd ever receive it.

Don't forget that First Blood perpetuated the whole myth about protestors spitting on returning vets at the airport (which Rambo says happened to him), despite there being no documented cases of that ever happening. Still love the movie though, and I never got into any of the Rambo sequels, even as campy action

Well in that case, he'd probably only have one tube, but would be thinking about getting another.

It really speaks to Bart's resilience that he went from that abject and primal fear and grew up to be a boy whose personal hero is Krusty.

Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure only Italian nationals were detained (not U.S. citizens as with the Japanese), which is not unusual for wartime.

Just want to say that Appaloosa was a pretty decent movie. That is all.

I'm pretty sure I heard him clearly say, "Welcome to Perf!"

You need over a million dollars to open a McDonald's (crazy, right?), including $750,000 in liquid assets. Subways, on the other hand, are super cheap to open. Maybe 20-30 grand.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Spy" takes the cake as the worst fucking movie name of all time. I mean, there are lots of crazy ones that people like to make fun of here, but "Spy" is just so aggressively lazy and dumb that it beats out all of your various "Batman v. Superman: Port of Call: Electric

I was going to chide everyone for bashing Val Kilmer. Sure, he's no longer a leading man, but it wasn't long ago that he killed it in a major role in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. But then I looked it up, and holy shit, that movie came out eleven years ago.

I mean, it was definitely subversive in that it subverted many of the common tropes and expectations of animated kids' movies at the time. Ranked on a scale that includes all art, it's not particularly subversive, but within its context it definitely was.

Though it should also be noted for the record that Broadway musicals are dumb.

I'm not saying it doesn't deserve it for either thing. I'm just remarking that it's funny that there's probably one article on Hamilton for every two people who have seen the play. And obviously these publications are responding to reader demand for articles on this particular phenomenon.
