I'm a dyed in the wool atheist and I think Exorcist is scary as shit.  It's great at generating a real sense of building menace at first and then it becomes truly horrifying.

I grew up in Alaska where earthquakes aren't uncommon, and they still freak me out.  I mean in a reptile brain "What the fuck!  THE EARTH SHOULDN'T DO THAT!" way.

I feel about Gwyneth Paltrow the way Claire feels about David Duchovny.  In real life (or at least real life as filtered through the media) she comes off as obnoxious, entitled and oblivious to the world as it actually exists for most of the rest of the planet—but she's always good in her roles.  I can't claim to have…

I thought he only had a cold and Captain America was dead.  Or the other way around?  Does one have the shingles and the other suffer from the heartbreak of psoriasis?

Drone bombing is perfectly accurate.  The bombs are 100% guaranteed to hit the ground.

Wrong. Appetite for Destruction.  "Mr Brownstone" stands up against any song recorded anywhere by anybody.

Saying Revenge of the Sith is better than the other two is like saying dropping a bowling ball on your foot is better than getting kicked in the groin.  Maybe it's less painful, but it's still not something  you'd ask to have happen to you.

NNNNEEEERRRRDDDD!

The grimmest part for me wasn't that the good guy is defeated it's that the movie/book seem to imply that there was no way for the ending to be anything else but a defeat. 

And Sim City 4?  A city in financial chaos where the life expectancy of the citizens is 52, wracked by nuclear meltdowns and giant lizard attacks ?

And don't forget "Dr. Strangelove" ends with the  annihilation of everyone on Earth.  And it's a comedy!  (Man, I love Kubrick!)

And Ann Richards

Was it a Community write-up a couple of weeks ago that talked about "this thing I love is about to hurt me by being canceled or not being what I want it too so I'm going to start hating it preemptively?" I think that's what is going on here.

I don't know—I weird myself out pretty good sometimes.

Hell, yes.  This role seems tailor-made for Colin Firth.

At last, our long national nightmare is nearing an end.

Dear ESPN,
Can you just bring back the old "Heavy Action" theme for MNF? Please?  I know you've still got the tape 'cause you'd play it after that redneck finished  destroying whatever dignity the show opening had.  (I mean a beatboxer? Really?) Just go back to the classic.

I haven't watched the show in 10 years.  I won't even notice when it's gone.
