1,9,7,5??? What a fucking tool. I hope one of the nurses dropped an oxygen canister on his balls.

Part of what kills me about that episode is George realizing that all of his friends are dead and that he's probably going to join them in a matter of hours. Poor fucker, after spending the entire war yearning to go over the top, he doesn't even get to hang onto his illusions and go charging out believing he's going…

Blackadder 4 contains some of the most insightful commentary on WWI that I've ever come across, and I've studied that war a LOT. Some particular gems:

"Irregardless" can't be correct because it's not a word.

Eh, it's really not that much different than deep throating a circumcised guy.

Apart from how inane her music is, she one of the most atrocious singers around, which obviously is saying a lot. She can't carry a tune to save her life and the way she squashes her vowels is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

The Ben Show just plain sucked. The guy's schtick is based entirely on cruelty, but since there's no comedic payoff of any kind he just comes off as the worst kind of asshole. If you aspire to that level of dickishness, you need to at least be clever.

My sister went to Yale's Divinity School for some reason, and the professors there all agreed that the Life of Brian's version of the Sermon on the Mount is by far the most accurate cinematic depiction of any part of the life of Jesus.

You know, the more I think about it, the hotter unemployment tax porn sounds.

I looked it up, Sheltie, but first I just did a general google search and was deeply confused. I'm sure it must exist somewhere, but I can't imagine there's much demand for unemployment tax porn.

Thanks for the link to that website; some of those comments were gold. I had NO IDEA that a single bottle of water could cure cancer, make one's hair thicker and more lustrous, strengthen one's teeth and gums, enable a person to quit smoking without even trying, and cure the common cold. And prolonged use isn't even…

I didn't read through the thread before posting. 'Cause I'm clever like that.

In my experience the DirecTV signal stability depends on where/how the dish is installed. If you've got the dish in a fairly sheltered spot, there isn't much concern. I live in Chicago so there's plenty of wind, and in one apartment the dish was nestled in a nifty little niche on top of the building and the signal was…

So…she has herpes?

Or those dumb yogurt ads where the husband hears his wife reeling off a bunch of horrible sounding flavors like banana cream pie(!) or raspberry cheesecake over the telephone and goes hunting through the fridge for these fattening treats only to find fat-free yogurt, at which point his wife catches him and goes all…

I don't think I'd put it as "science let her down," more that science just hadn't gotten there yet. Even now, developing effective meds for mental illness is a pretty murky area of medicinal chemistry. The brain is just too fucking complicated, and we have a very long way to go to even understand how meds that have…

I think it should—soooo much of it is just begging to played out on film. Weddings, obviously, but also the last scene of the book with Sansa and her aunt (although I know that's going to be season 4). The pacing of the book is by far the best of the series, too.

No. No, he's really not, poor thing.

Perhaps slickness and elegance are not the only qualities that determine a film's overall merit?
