Does Jesse own one t-shirt that isn't completely ridiculous? His jack-o-lantern shirt and the one with the big dollar sign come to mind, but this one was the worst.

SONS OF ANARCHY SPOILER………………

I have a feeling the axe will fall on Boardwalk Empire early because it cost $65M to produce the first season.

Cars over West End Girls…bullshit

My favorite Ellroy is the American Tabloid-Cold Six Thousand-Blood's a Rover trilogy. I think he's at his funniest and best there, but the books are quite long and the plot is sprawling. Starting out I'd recommend the LA Quartet (Black Dahlia, Big Nowhere, LA Confidential, White Jazz), they are a bit shorter and

Onion/AVClub
If you want people to stop associating the AVClub with the Onion, you shouldn't do stuff like this. I love both sites, but it seems like the AVClub is a bit schizophrenic when it comes to its relationship to the Onion. You are a separate entity AVClub, don't be afraid to say that a show sucks because

Everyone should watch Deadwood

Definitely one of the more confusing nights of my life. Back to back you had the Sopranos finale when I thought someone took an axe to the cable hookup, and immediately after was the premiere of John From Cincinnati when I felt like doing it myself.

Supposedly it was canceled because it cost too much to make, $6M per episode according to wikipedia.

I've only seen the first 8 episodes of BE

Makes me not even want to throw season 3 in after I watch 1 and 2

The worst part about it is that even though Deadwood is one of my favorite shows I can't watch it without thinking in the back of my mind that it ends in complete bullshit.

But it does have 2009's Carny starring Lou Diamond Philips.

Netflix
Does not recognize this movie's existence

He couldn't be from Brooklyn cause we don't talk like that around here

Pure Idiocy

Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum
Gemma's got Jimmy right where she wants him…no she doesn't. Looks like the Sons are going to get blown up in a barn…no they're not. Looks like Lem and Tig are still mad at each other…who the fuck cares. Watch out, here comes a big back tattoo. Season 3, why can't you be more like Season 2.

Q: Are either one of these any good?

I think so too, either he wanted to alienate both of them or it was just kind of a "fuck it all" moment.

First Scene
Jesus man, how did you mention nothing about his Tommy's son's ghost in the first scene. Tommy yells at him and tells him he would have grown up to be a pussy and he ruined Tommy's relationship with his wife. That was some visceral shit. Pretty shocking.
