Emo handwringing… just another part of the game.

I just click past those parts. I don't understand why pornographers think I want to view man-ass.

I think you have to keep drinking from the Holy Grail to live forever. Henry Sr. took a sip and he still died between Last Crusade and Crystal Skull. Indy took a big gulp and remained spry well into his 90s (Young Indiana Jones).

Did they explain what happened to Jet Li's character? He was in the opening raid setpiece then just disappeared.

What's with all these "classy" HD porn sites where the people don't even sweat? It's like smacking Barbie and Ken together.

Joe Pesci's speech to the banker in Casino is a favorite for conveying menace mixed with apathy:

I can't wait for the flavored vodka thing to (hopefully) peter out. When they start doing Paste and Paint Chips, surely the Rapture will not be far behind.

I learned it from watching you, bro. I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU!

Boycotts in general only hurt the front-line, just-trying-to-get-by-on-whatever-job-they-can-find folks. Maybe sales go down enough that the forklift driver is forced to go part-time, but Mr. Stolichnaya and Russia are gonna be just fine.

"Blanch." It means to plunge vegetables in boiling water for a short time and then shock in ice water to halt the cooking process.

PR was just an example. I won't rehash the others but if you think films aren't being changed and simplified to increase chances of international $$$, you haven't been paying attention.

This has nothing to do with ethnocentrism. I'm talking about movies being simplified and robbed of wit because it might not play overseas. Take Pacific Rim, full of spectacle, simple plot, blond Johnny Goodboy overcomes adversity, wit and intelligent dialogue kept to a minimum. IE, dumbed down.

Greatest hangover song ever by a wide, wide margin.

I remember an episode of Oz that talked about how prisoners are counted as "living" wherever the prison is and not where they were arrested. This means that shitty podunk towns where prisons are get comparatively more federal dollars while the inner city areas where they got pinched continue to starve. Shitty system,…

@avclub-ca6cb47da12090ffd2470daf51f71be1:disqus I was being somewhat facetious, since the critical theme of this summer has been about the films "evoking 9/11," and I feel that line of thinking is kinda dumb and needlessly courting controversy.

Thank goodness, more movies will be dumbed down to appeal to an international audience!

Markedly less 9/11 imagery?

I can't believe no one has mentioned Gordon uber-tight golden pants. You could see the outline of his phone, I dared not look for the bulge. My wife assured me it was present.

Bime had the bad lemon meringue that Gordon poured into a cocktail glass. Another contestant bested by dessert.

The promos for next week look like the "cook your way back on" show, which is how Josh got back on and Bri could be a contender for.
