No, I get it. I feel the same way honestly and even though I don't drive and text a lot (I don't own my own car, so I don't drive too much, and I don't text a lot) I do do it sometimes and am really ashamed of it, as I said elsewhere earlier today. It's hard to stop doing something that you haven't suffered…

I thought it was good. I hate sitting through videos on my computer and I sat and watched the whole thing at 1 am last night, the moment I saw it linked on facebook. It seemed concise enough to me.

@Scrawler2:disqus I am intrigued! What do you dislike about pullover sweaters?

Well, one could say that "literature Ph.D." is metonymy for the woman who possesses it, and "female" simply a descriptor. And LOL at the idea that someone with a recent doctorate in a humanities field is employed. (I'm assuming the target audience of this show doesn't know what an adjunct is.)

I don't like cardigans so much, I like pullover sweaters better. Basically as long as it doesn't come up right under my arms and make me too hot. I like pullover sweaters better on guys too, I find cardigans on guys unappealingly feminine, especially because they usually have v-necks which I don't care for on me and…

My experience (I work in graduate academia . . . but it sounds like maybe you are in the field too) is that those described as "Ph.D." have doctorates (typically a recent doctorate, otherwise it's kind of irrelevant as a descriptor). If she's getting a Ph.D., she'd be a Ph.D. student, or doctoral student, or, if she…

I was going to declare that I would purchase this, wear it to a public swimming location and take pictures if you guys gave me $100, but then I feared you would actually do it. Also it looks pretty uncomfortable.

To be fair, those aren't bad questions to ask before making any kind of purchase.

Thanks!

I think I liked The Wolverine more than anyone else I've heard about, but I would have happily watched an entire movie about Wolverine in Japan during WWII.

Jesus christ! Yeah, listen to Scrawler. I want to have kids too, and I can understand the impulse to want to jump start the whole thing, but wouldn't it be nice to have a kid you got to actually live with and spend time with? And with someone you could also live with, and who you wanted to mix your genes with? That is…

I've only seen David Lynch movies in the theater, actually (they did a series at my school). I definitely agree about the difference between sitting through something as a whole experiential undertaking, and just watching it in installments. I can be pretty lazy about watching movies even when it's something I know I…

That's hilarious about Spring Breakers.

I totally agree about Much Ado About Nothing - it may not be the most memorable film ever made but it does capture the tone perfectly. It's lively, sexy and funny. And Alexis Denisof and Amy Acker are both so fantastic. They should be bigger stars. I'd watch them in anything based on looks alone and the fact that they…

It's not touristy at all. It's a very well trafficked park area but that's no different from any other state park with a lake in it in the summer (though I think Walden gets a lot of year round traffic). The stone foundation of Thoreau's cabin is still there and there are a couple placards with Thoreau quotations but…

Oh yeah, The Return is pretty good. It honestly didn't strike me as Golden Lion-level awesome but they probably know better than I do. It does have one of the most memorable scenes I can think of in any movie I've ever seen, so maybe I'm not giving it enough credit. I haven't seen anything else by him nor the director…

Thanks for the heads-up about The Dissolve feature. I haven't been reading The Dissolve but Days of Heaven is one of my favorite movies of all time.

I watched The Killer Shrews on Friday night. I was reading the Sharknado sequel article and then clicked through to a previous Sharknado article where someone had mentioned said shrews movie. So I watched it on Youtube and spent the rest of the weekend trying to talk about it to anyone who would listen.

I'm 95% certain that was an older woman, a different neighbor.

I think that Walt is dangerous precisely because he has absolutely no honor. None. Gus Fring had honor. Mike had honor. Jesse has honor. As an honorable person, you can't really hold anything out above a person without honor - I really question whether Walt would even do anything for the sake of his family anymore if…
