If he's going to retire the name Mos Def, then what the fuck is wrong with just using his birth name?  Dante is a fine name.

He just doesn't stand up on his own.  I have never been able to watch any scene he's in and not be totally pulled out of it and distracted by "Hey, that's Tom Hank's son!"  "Hey, he's got the same little facial tics and mannerisms as Tom Hanks."  "I should watch The Money Pit again sometime."  "I sure do miss when Tom

I love that this site's only contact email is a goddamned hotmail account.  From now on I'm going to refer to someone's purse as their "lady purse."

Does the sex of axioms affect the pronouns or articles used?

I've had a serious accident or two where I was in full-on shock—yeah, one can definitely do something like calmly think, "Well, fuck,"  and purposefully walk back to the table saw to look for the rest of their fingertips.

Seriously?  It's magnetic because Walt attached rare-earth magnets to it so he could stick it up under Gus' car as conveniently as a hide-a-key.

I think it looked metal and Terminator-y because the structure of the eye-socket was unnaturally large, squareish, and projected much too far forward.  For all the effort and expense that went into that shot, someone might have paid a little closer attention to the actual anatomy of a human skull.

Well just incautiously yanking open a trap door in those circumstances might be a good way to get shot in the face.

Walt left his snub-nose on the table for Jesse to pick up—he didn't need to leave the bullets in it.

"Did you just bring a BOMB into a HOSPITAL?"

Minus half a grade for no final appearance of the porkpie hat.

Sexy Makeup Daddy is kinda fun to look at, but I think you'd have to be willing to accept that he's a total raging power bottom.  He probably sleeps in a sling.

"As the owl realizes that he seriously just came all the way across town for nothing…"

If he gave it four stars you'd be calling him one of the pantheon of dipshit film critics who only claims to like Kubrick because they're pretentious assholes.

I agree about cutting Dexter down to 6 or 7 episodes a season.  In fact, I'd love to see the results if someone took the time to re-cut everything from season 2 on into 6-episode seasons.  Dexter without the mid-season wheel spinning…would be awesome.

I just watched Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens over the weekend…  It does have…a bizarre sort of charm.

After getting crummy reviews for Deuce Bigelow, Rob Schneider had a public conflict with critic Patrick Goldstein where he took out full page ads in Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, saying "Maybe you didn't win a Pulitzer Prize because they haven't invented a category for Best Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous

I've been reading Ebert's reviews regularly for about as long as they've been available online.  I read reviews of movies I may never find time to watch or that I'll never have any desire to sit through, because Ebert's reviews can be a great pleasure to read and because his writing has taught me much about the art

Maybe because he misses LaGuerta so much, Batista will get a pug that looks exactly like her.

Well, a castor oil plant would be a fucking stupid thing to have growing in a house with a small child present…
