By Moore's telling, Bush was up by a much higher margin before the release of Fahrenheit 9/11. So maybe possibly it did make some kind of difference? I don't know if it's true, but I'll take what hope I can get.

He's a blue collar billionaire. There's nothing contradictory about that.

Despite repeatedly spouting Trump's bullshit week after week, he's maybe the only person in this administration who still feels sort of like a real human being. Not arguing that he's innocent by any means; just that if the White House was burning, he's the guy I'd want the firefighters to grab.*

Validated!

That's definitely the impression I get from every conservative person I know on facebook.

I love Conspiracy Theory.

Freaky Deaky is one of my favorite Leonard novels. A couple of his don't hold up upon rereading, IMO (Cuba Libre is an example), but Deaky was still a ton of fun the second time around.

I dunno; I have a feeling after one or two conferences he'd ban every press outlet but Breitbart for asking him difficult questions. Trump loves being put on a pedestal, but he hates any kind of critical attention.

I just meant that all the current hype around Styles' debut, including on this page, seems to be promoting the idea that Styles' is the real success story of One Direction, not Zayn's, when in reality Zayn's solo career has already been quite successful, even if it's not providing fodder for thinkpieces the way…

Your ex did you a favor.

Next they're going to tell us Trump only ran for the money and notoriety!

He's already talking about being his own press secretary. Maybe they'll pull a switcheroo and Spicer will take over presidential duties.

Yeah, if anything Zayn has the more successful solo career at this point. Haven't seen too many critics discussing his "legitimacy," but in terms of sheer popularity, he's doing quite well for himself. That doesn't necessarily mean Styles won't catch up—I believe he got a later start at it—but it seems a lot of…

Watched The Handmaiden last night. Loved it, even while I questioned some of its choices. It's bold, exciting filmmaking from a director who marches to his own drum. Loved the performances of the actors playing the central couple. Loved the weird rhythm of the editing and camera movements, and the equally…

How does one "possess" a sex crime?

Speechless is one of the best sitcoms on TV right now. Very happy to hear this news.

Isn't Aiden just a normal Irish name? Brayden's the real offender here.

Holy shit, that comments section is hilariously merciless. And that one poor guy trying to defend his friend…

But the auteur label connotes a distinctive aesthetic that's recognizable across a director's filmography; there's no stylistic connection between Transporter 2 and The Incredible Hulk, or between either of those films and Clash of the Titans.

I used to prefer the second two of the trilogy, but after rewatching them I was struck by how nonexistent their stories were. They're effective as ninety minute chases, but in the first one Bourne actually feels like a human being, and the story has more meat on its bones.
