Yup - nearly all the east-west streets in Bedford-Stuyvesant in northern Brooklyn are named after Revolutionary War figures. (The north-south streets are named after various counties in New York state).

There are Pulaski streets and a Pulaski Bridge as well in NYC (it connects Greenpoint in Brooklyn and Long Island City in Queens over the Newtown Creek).

Rhode Island is like driving through one giant town with a busy downtown (Providence). Weren't we just in Barrington? Well, you're in Warwick now. Two minutes later, hello Newport.

HAHAHAHAHA A decade is not a "long long long" time.

The prime example being No-mah Gah-cia-parrer.

The book should have been an HBO miniseries - let a different director tackle each story in a 60-90 minute vignette and wrap it in a documentary-style overview with filmed interviews and reenactments. The movie had so little in common with the excellent book other than a title.

He put on the weight to play Johnny Depp's henchman in Black Mass and decided to keep it on for Fargo.

Having worked for a non-profit that did court-required family counseling for parents, you would be surprised at the stuff you would consider obvious that counselors have to go over sometimes.

Yeah, this was not good. Carmichael and his girlfriend had some intermittently good stuff, but everything with his family was so broad. From the moment the mother had no idea what pinot grigio was (haw haw - old black folks couldn't possibly know wine, right?) to the T-Pain looking younger brother (even an idiot 32…

'Mentee' is not a word. Yes, I know it's in some dictionaries now but that's because it's some backwards-engineered BS that lazy writers have foisted upon the world. The correct word is protege.

I think this would have been a great opportunity for Marvel/Fox to add some diversity to their casts. New Orleans is one of, if not the most, historically ethnically diverse cities in the country and there's nothing explicitly white about the character - just a shared childhood on the streets of NO with Gambit. Was…

Where's that season one hit "Human Music"? It was Jerry's favorite…

It was/is depressingly easy for apathy to help maintain the status quo without watchdog organizations like the NAACP holding the government's feet to the fire.

Yes, there were short chyrons on screen. Episode 4 was two years after Wasicsko's election in Episode 2.

The fed. government sued because Yonkers had taken federal funding for decades and had not complied with federal guidelines for building low-income housing throughout the city. They stockpiled all the federally funded housing on the east side, which was a contravention of the Fair Housing Act. The NAACP brought the…

She's already been quoted as saying she'd be interested in playing the mother of Statham's and Evans' characters as the big bad for the next one if offered.

Kingsley is (half) Gujarati.

Deserved - she passed away last fall.

I think her hair is just naturally that curly - it looked the same in the Sin City sequel.

Eh, that hit me with a little less punch because LaTanya Richardson Jackson (Sam L.'s wife) is clearly not 47. She looks great for 65 but 47 is a bridge too far.
