Somehow I doubt he even considered it. Making fun of how many Jews there are in Hollywood is a pretty far cry from joking about a woman's untimely death.

Seconded. And Tom Jones is completely fucking delightful, so please continue to shut your filthy mouth.

I love how schools work so hard to put kids off literature. Assigning Hawthorne to the pubescent is one of their most successful strategies.

No.

I had to read it in middle school, and I think I was just a little too young to be able to enjoy it.

The message seemed to be "keep children from learning about sex AT ALL COSTS because you might find it slightly awkward to explain," which, apart from being stupid, seems kind of odd in this day and age.

The entire city government of Chicago is so flamboyantly, staggeringly corrupt that there's almost no point in indicting a mayor; the whole business is rotten. Every time I walk past a campaign poster for an alderman I get angry.

Yes, hence the "indirect" part of anxie's comment. I don't actually know how much influence Martin Sheen has had on his brother's career, but Soul Taker is some classic schlock.

Soul Taker made one of the best episodes of MST3K of all time, so I'd say he gets a pass on that one.

I doubt the wiki page was filled after this episode; eclampsia may be rare, but it's well-known.

The show has made it clear that Charlie was abused by his uncle. In "Charlie Got Molested" his uncle is super creepy at Charlie's intervention while child sexual abuse is being discussed in some detail—I actually don't see how anyone could have missed this, it's screamingly obvious. There's another episode (I don't…

I liked how proto-human Wozniak works so hard to resist innovation. "No, you can't do that!" "Nobody wants to buy a computer!"

According to Conservapedia, my totally not made up degree in "secularism" is worthless!

Agreed. I also love that Morgan Freeman has a line about how he maybe doesn't even want to know what they were singing about, because it must be so deep or something…do you know what that song's about? It's about two women (Susanna and the Countess) writing a fake love letter to trick the Count and expose him as a…

Heh, Grease 2. I saw that movie many, many times as a child, and good christ does it suck.

Also Parker Posey doing the dying swan at the end of the romantic number with Christopher Guest.

Pilsners are a type of lager, dude.

I wish I had the space/money to collect—some day, I hope—but I do have some friends and relatives who are building cellars. For the shorter-term, my brother is all over west coast pinot noirs, especially from Oregon, and you can get a lot of good stuff for under $30. For sparkling, these guys are wonderful: http://www.…

A friend of mine recently got OPI's James Bond-themed nail polish collection. The only thing that makes it Bond-esque are the names, but it is a nice selection of colors.
