    With all of the f-bombs in this trailer, I thought that I was watching Hard Knocks again …

    "McQuarrie chose retirement over working on either of those …" I've always loved his 1970s-ish sci-fi drawings (I always think of OMNI Magazine when I see these), but this line makes me respect the man even more …

    Pretty much … although I would have liked to see him haul off on Bob Ewell at the end …

    Perfectly put - there's the scene in Part I where he tells his brother that he can't win this case, and later he tells Jem that real courage is doing something that you know you'll lose, but you still do it to the best of your ability … because it is the right thing to do. There is an overlooked pessimism to the tone

    I teach this to my sophomores, and it is always the one noubt about it thing that the kids really get in to - both the nook and the film.

    Iverson, too, you'd think …

    Sigh … last week's Walking Dead just ripped open that scabbed-over wound …

    I thought that Affleck's plot was the much better part of this movie. If this had been a more of a biopic about George Reeves, and less of the half-assed detective film, I think it would have been better. He's really was good in that role.

    Or, "Huh? What the fuck did he say?" This has to be the mumbliest show on television …

    Yup - the best irony of last night's performance was that Madonna, the one-time provocateur, turned in a (i.m.o) surprisingly awesome, ridiculously over-the-top, joyously campy performance, and acted like the true pro, while MIA came off as a tone-deaf ass …

    He is , no joke, one of my favorite actors. He was tensely riveting on Oz; better than he needed to be on L&O; a nice foil for Denis Leary in the early years of Rescue Me; hilarious on 30 Rock … it is beyond me why he can't get a cool role on a good show. There's no one at FX that can't write a vehicle for him?!

    You should - just slapping the word "procedural" on it doesn't really do it justice. Basically, it used multiple perspectives from multiple levels of authority (beat cops, detectives, politicians, etc.) to tell crime stories. Donnie Wahlberg was pretty good it it, as was Neil McDonough, who is now on Justified. Sorta

    A little … And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, too, no?

    Whatever happened to Hardy Men? Once upon a time, there was talk of a film with Ben Stiller and Tom Cruise as grown-up Frank and Joe Hardy, aka the Hardy Boys? Maybe I'm being overly generous, but this sounded pretty funny to me …

    … or 2 Broke Girls …

    Weird buy true - after dismissing Cornell's recent live solo album as nothing more than a cash grab, a friend of mine gave me the album. It's really kinda great. If you've avoided this because of the Cornell's fiasco with Timbaland, or because of the truly terrible Live on I-5, I'd like to ask you to check this out.

    I'm not ashamed to say I enjoy the Dr. Oz program, as my parents call it … anyhow, Steve Harvey was on as a guest a few weeks ago. Was anyone else aware that he is, apparently, a relationship guru and an expert on men and women?

    … or as a verse in Ill Communication's Sure Shot.

    Have we checked what Fleet Foxes had to say on Twitter, though?

    I'll believe it when I DON'T see hundreds of college girls screaming for him at his next concert special …
