It's a shame that his name became associated with the establishment of movie critics; I know there are plenty of rottentomatoes posters who think they are fighting a great crusade when they take shots at Ebert.

Well at least the guy playing Jesus is from South America and not just another European descendant.

I thought it was pretty clear that Danny was abused, though it never occurred to me that it could be sexual.  That is an interesting detail though.

This is true, but Atlas Shrugged is more tied in to the idea that money in a free market economy is tied to expression and success.  Dagney Tagert is virtuous because in a truly liberated economy, she and her hot steel melting boyfriend would dominate; their dominance, the product of virtuosity and collaboration with…

I knew about the band back in college and even I'm not sure they aren't inventions of the show.

Why does one of the smartest actors in hollywood continue to take such dumb  roles?  Aaron Eckhart and Gerard Butler do not belong on the same screen.  At all.  Unless it's a "Twins"-esque comedy where one twin is a smart asshole and his brother is a good looking idiot.  That would still suck, but it would make sense.

I know that he's wanted to be professionally funny for quite some time.  I guess hanging out with Chapelle had him convinced he was ready.

I always like Norm's impressions because on first listen they sound like the laziest, worst impressions, but then you listen to Bob Dole or Burt Reynolds, and all you hear is Norm McDonald.

They were my generation's Nickleback, but only because we had yet to encounter the horror that was Nickleback.

He did not have a hook like Miller or CK did, or at least not something you could really say what he was.  His stuff is there to subvert and play with the usual rhythms of comedy.  Instead of setup, setup, punchline, his is setup, setup, setup, SETUP!  I love that, but there isn't a sexy way to boil that down.  He had…

Cabbage makes people fart.  Heh.

So you would basically re-enact the climax to "Trading Places."

So by "smart" you mean Dennis Miller?

Does he mean how much money, or is the answer something like "Krugerrands" ?  What is Rob Schneider's currency of choice?  Is this a pressing question because the answer mutates by the day, the same way that Rob Schneider slips in and out of personas?  He needs a currency that will match his ever changing,…

I had a problem with "Bitch Bad" at first, but if you really listen to it, it's less about shaming women for not dressing right, and more about everyone in a bad situation, hurting each other because of unspoken expectations.

Nothing says that the original plan was to pick the kids up.  If I'm supposed to be keeping eyes on the kid, which is plausible because the KGB has been keeping tabs, and I see her stick out her thumb, I just might swoop in to make sure that a pedo doesn't stop.  So it may have been someone running surveillance who…

That's actually a good point.  I didn't really think the interrogators were KGB as I thought they were trying to bring the information sharing conflicts between FBI/CIA into the picture.

And why sometimes he comes off as the level headed one.  He's not.

The first time I saw that episode with the "date," it was when I had only seen a few episodes, and I thought they were married.
