It's not just the resistance by the female part (coy or not), it's the creepy-clingy things the male part says, such as "put some records on while I pour," "what's the sense in hurting my pride?", "gosh, your lips look delicious," and "how can you do this thing to me?"

The man has two channels devoted to him. That's one more than Elvis. Just because he's one of the few legitimate radio personalities who don't go on news channel expecting people to give a shit about their opinion because they have a microphone doesn't mean he don't carry sway still.

When I say "Subway," you say "hero"!

Frat Guise: It was a Fox-driven, post-Juan Williams talking point. A prime example of "the government should stop funding everything except for whatever I like." See also: the National Endowment for the Arts.

Radio Is Dead
Music radio is useless these days, people want NPR gone, and everything sports or politics is an awful joke. Anytime a radio personality appears on Fox News, MSNBC, or ESPN, it's a self-aggrandizing babblefest with no conclusions or intelligence reached.

I don't follow…
So when they say "cow," they're definitely referring to a female whale, right?

I actually think these ads aren't as bad as past years, mostly due to the music. It comes on, and I don't immediately think there's a commercial showing white women get what a magazine told them they wanted.

Welsh Entertainment Television?

That's the gift that keeps on giving!

Dumb and Dumber had a straight man? Do you mean Charles Rocket?

We all might be drunk.

What's not the case?
I haven't read the interview, but "it's kind of unfortunate that our writing staff has been fired, because that's not the case" makes absolutely no sense. Something cannot be unfortunate because it's not the case.

On the whole, this has been a weak year, with most of the seriously good stuff really loaded on the end of the year, but the good stuff has been fucking good. "Social Network," "127 Hours" and "Black Swan" are all awesome films. The best thing released before the fall was "Winter's Bone," which still might be the best

I refuse to trust booze when it comes to movies. I was holy-shit-hammered for "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," and was convinced that I had seen a decent movie and the only reason I was confused was because of how drunk I was.

"Shutter Island"'s awards buzz is odd. I haven't seen the movie, and I've heard mostly decent things, but has anyone really given a shit since March, including those involved? Since "Shutter Island" has been released, we've gotten "Boardwalk Empire," "Inception," "The Kids Are All Right" and "Blue Valentine."

I didn't know we lived in a world where the combination of "Ryan Reynolds" and "metaphor" could prove to be a selling point. Clearly I am young and unknowing.

You should punch them into paralysis.

These awards get more and more quizzical as the list goes on
I'm very happy to see "Social Network" succeed, but the "huh?" factor gets stronger with each category. Fincher did a fine job and deserves accolades. Eisenberg did great work, but best actor? Okay, I guess.

Oh, Boo Radley Hoo
We get it. He's Robert Duvall. Blah fuckity blah blah. This doesn't mean he can't be a snotty old crank.

So Ryan Gosling
is in films this year with both Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst?
