He could have at least called it "Alpha" airlines or some other Greek letter, that would have been a little clever. It wouldn't have been very funny, but — neither was "Belta."

I too will compare Die Hard to The Godfather: they are both franchises I would prefer these people, and anyone else, to stay away from.

Is there a part of New Jersey that we're not supposed to be wary of calling?

"I'm two months late and you haven't answered my phone calls!"

Had to Google the name to remember that I had a Philosophy professor in undergrad who assigned us that movie to watch. The only reason I remember it is my wife and I watched it on a phone while huddling under a stairwell during a tornado alarm in the dorms. It took a natural disaster to make that movie memorable in…

I think you might be ascribing a bit too much intelligence, wit and tactical accumen on the group of people who gave us "The Californians."

Possibly "creative" in the sense of "creatively appropriating real life events and other people's ideas and using them for your own"

A race of people we don't understand who we ascribe mystical properties to and seem to come mainly from other countries? No, Rowling. We wouldn't call them "no-maj." We would call them "not terrorists."

Isn't the ghost apocalypse . . . the Rapture? Kirk Cameron was right! And is also probably a zombie now!

Make sure he has a trench coat. It's very important.

I think the really unbelievable thing that's not been a part of the conversation surrounding this movie is that CBS thought 60 Minutes "II" was a good idea.

As a current first year law student I look forward to watching this show with what is sure to be an insufferably smug attitude.

I love The Thin Blue Line so I wanted to check this out immediately, not having seen any other episode of the show. And I'd just like to say that IFC has some serious balls to subtitle their Videos section "You're Welcome" and not post full episodes. I might be welcome, IFC, but I'm not thanking you.

Whoever took that video must be a fan of apps featured on Great Job, Internet!.

Is it . . . The name?

This is not a rare viewpoint. Pretty mainstream in evangelical groups, actually. There is a kernel of a logical point in there, from their perspective at least (you can't expect to /earn/ forgiveness when forgiveness stems from the grace of God) but it's mostly used in the way that you mentioned there. It really…

Up-voted for the UU shout-out. My wife introduced me to it and while I'm used to a bit more structure and seriousness in a service, it's also great to not have to roll your eyes and affirm hypocritical bullshit. I think lots of people who either believe strongly in something but don't like dogmatic pedantry, or people…

Oh, they read the Bible . . . Enough to pick and choose bits that further their agenda when used in a certain context.

I could go with daily installments of "It's a thing that does NOT exist, internet!"

Being bankrupt is sort of like being boycotted by good fortune.
