Chill out. I only see a couple a year anyhow. We do most of our watching at home, with Netflix.

Yup, it's from the soundtrack to The Piano.  IT'S MADE FROM HOLLY HUNTER'S TEARS!

I don't know. I used to be the "PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY, GAAAAWD!" guy before being married with children, but now I recognize it as a necessary evil. We don't get to go to the movies that much anymore, but when we do, the phone is on silent, and I will check it every half hour to see if my babysitter is desperately…

I thought I was in one of those G-Force things they use to train astronauts. By the end, I thought I was having an aneurysm.

I see what you mean, but even Optimus Prime wasn't the "strongest," per se—I think Grimlock went toe-to-toe with Prime and held his own, and the combiner teams' gestalt modes were certainly more powerful, even if it takes 5 of them (the Dinobots and gestalts were of the big = dumb mold, though, despite the individual…

The Taft porno: Tubbustin'.

Yeah, they've really gone down the drain after their second release.

They had me when they kicked a toddler straight through two bus windows.

I watched the Nick Berg video. I'll never forget the gurgling screams as they sawed through his throat. I regretted that one.

Right. The show stumbled ass-backwards into a cutting thematic core, even if cliche. You can be rich and beautiful, with all the connections in the world, but if you focus on everything looking great on the outside, the inside can often rot and fall out beneath you.

Not a "docu-soap," whatever that is, but I was into Deadliest Catch for a while. It got a little same-y, but that's probably because they don't do anything contrived, like other reality shows.

"The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills will go down in history as the first time a reality show was really forced to look at itself in the mirror, and in doing so it was able to make a singular and invaluable statement about the state of reality, television, and the people who live there."

Peter O Toole,

Oh, there's no way that one's not coming back. I'm sure there's a flag there somewhere. Don't you hate it when that happens on potential TD plays?
