nilus, lots of jobs require drug testing, but lots of them don't. Mine doesn't. I hardly know anyone who gets tested for work, and my friends and family are reasonably diverse in their occupations.

yeah, just to second a few other people: pot does not cause mood disorders, but people with untreated or badly managed mood disorders will definitely look to self-medicate. and pot just makes you feel better.

All the reviews seemed to say, "Wow, amazing visuals! Characters and story and kinda weak, though…"

I'd also like to see the range of ratings given, and not just the average.

For a charming little schlock gem, check out Satan's Cheerleaders. It has the mom from the Munsters. It is awesome.

I have nothing to say in favor of Family Guy, but making cruel and unfunny jokes about the disabled takes on a whole new level of ick when you do it to their faces in front of a large audience. That shit's humiliating.

He made fun of the deaf kid? Seriously? That's fucking nauseating right there.

Well, he's dead now.

A B on the AV Club?
Break out the champagne, Jim Rockford! There is nothing like some good Holmes… and I hope that my suspicions that Holmes is strong enough to stand up to modern adaptation are justified. I do admit, however, that I thought that Guy Ritchie would make a total ass of this project. I hope Keith is…

Crusader is right. And I thought that Katy Perry did write her own crap. She's a "singer-songwriter."

Okay, one more: the Zales ad where the cheesy, horrible couple are ice skating to an evil, reprehensible cover of "I Got You, Babe," and he gives her some ugly fucking diamonds and the look on her face is worthy of a sawed-off shotgun up the ass. And the overly-rugged douche guy is wearing FIGURE skates. Nothing wrong…

Oooo, JVS, I second the best buy ads. Those and the awful cheering ads for the gap… I can't hit the mute button fast enough.

$18 fucking K? That's obscene. You can go to Tiffany and get something totally overpriced for a lot less than that. It'll look better, too.

Good call, Lemur. I'd also like to add some hate for the 2 am christmas fucking morning ad, largely because I really, really hate the look on the woman's face when she sees her ugly piece of crap.

I can't decide what pisses me off most about all the jewelry store ads. Is it the "jewelry face," which is supposed to express loving touched-ness ( I think) but really looks like resignation and perhaps a little fear that they will, in fact, have to have sex with him and suck his cock? Is it the infantilization of…

It's worth noting that while most people thought the Hurt Locker was AWESOME, most soldiers from both Gulf wars hated it and found it insulting. At least, that is the impression I have gotten from the internet, which has never led anyone astray.

Deformed, eh? Okay, if you say so. But, not the kind of deformity associated with Down's. Sorry to be a stickler on this point, but it's an important distinction. Rihanna's face is much too angular for that. She might be ugly to you, but in her own distinctive, Rihanna way.

Rihanna is hot, and, Arsenio, when was the last time you actually saw someone with Down's? Rihanna has slanty eyes, but it's a looong way from that to looking like you have Down's. A celebrity who comes closer to Down's syndrome eyes is Taylor Swift, although I think she just looks like she got punched in both eyes…

Wait, what? In what universe does Rihanna look like she has Down's.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead was horrible. Really and truly god-awful crap. It was just so overwhelmingly and relentlessly grim—and I have an extremely high tolerance for painful and grim. I thought Irreversible was a good movie. But BtDKYD just plain sucked.
