You're right, she wasn't, but easily could have gone in that direction. Like that line she has when she sees Bob's horrible, horrible toys, where she asks if empathy is a thing.

Agreed. I love her smile when things get chaotic, like when they're running out of the museum, and there's a look of pure joy on her face.

Was she intentionally trying to invoke Pedo-Bear? 

Outside of the pearl clutchers at FOX, is anyone actually offended by this? I mean, I'm skeeved out by it because it looks awkward and reeks of effort, but I didn't get the impression anyone was scandalized by it.

Well now let's not judge. A girl can't live in her dad's shadow, and Billy Ray never wanted to make his daughter in the same respected mold as himself.

Is anyone else disappointed that Deadline isn't an adult swim parody of Dateline and the Newsroom wherein a failed, angry newsman (like Kirk Douglass in "Ace in the Hole") goes into an on air death spiral?

So….I noticed that some of the "Jobs" trailers were using "Baba O'Riley" as the music. This made me angry, and there was only one thing I could do.

I actually never saw the episode.  I saw clips and such but I do vividly remember being a kid and seeing the Newsweek cover, as well as reading the article.  What struck me about the whole thing was how profoundly sexless it all was. My testicles had dropped, and I knew enough to know that a show like "Friends" was…

I over reacted a little to what I perceived as a lazy phrase.  Of course the show is about good and evil, but that doesn't scratch the surface of the complexity of the show. It's like saying "The Wire" is about good and evil, or ethics, and it's like writing "man's inhumanity to man" as the theme of "Heart of…

Anything after Hank kicks Jesse's ass (and including him kicking Jesse's ass) is gold. You also start to see his chuckleheadedness in context and how he uses it to fool people while investigating.  You see that it's the only way he relates to his colleagues, and that he just doesn't know how to turn it off around…

But "Breaking Bad" isn't about good and evil.  It's not.  Not at all. Just…no. That's reductive and obtuse. Good and evil factor in, but it's about chaos, human ingenuity, and how that ingenuity can help you out of situations or bring you into a whole new world of pain. It's about how the best laid plans of mice and…

I think the idea is that he knew Gedman would be inserting himself into the case, given his connection to the murdered girl.

I don't know why, but the look Grodin gets on his face after he's told about chorizo and eggs is one of my favorite moments in movies ever.  Maybe it's because I really like chorizo, dunno.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is still a blast, though some of the mugging by Martin doesn't hold up as well.

Serrated.  Knife.

Or Zoltan Mesko.

Jake: That ball wouldn't have been out of a lot of parks.

This got very tepid reviews when it came out, mainly because all the players looked like minor variations on DB Sweeney with slicked back hair.  I assume that was Sayles making a comment on how interchangeable the players were to the likes of Comiskey, but it confused the hell out of everyone who didn't already know…

Sorry to double reply, I just read the vulture piece and found it fascinating.  One of the things I have noticed about pieces like this is that the person being interviewed is a bit of an unreliable narrator.

I think it falls under the category of emotionally truthful that a lot of AVclub reviewers have been falling back on in their arguments about plausibility.  I think it accurately depicts stuff like the fear Russia had about a military coup and the symmetry that exists between two agencies working towards each other in…
