This is the sports lockout that makes the least sense.  While all sports lockouts/strikes are annoying and horrible and stupid to the fans, this one really seems to be achieving heroic levels of idiocy.  And the fact that the league is still getting all its US broadcast money while not playing any games just fits…

Seriously!  Not being able to read that profile now means I'm going to have to do work instead.  And now I'm going to have to remember that I wanted to read it when I get home and have my paper copy of New Yorker in front of me.  These are all burdens that I shouldn't have to bear, dammit!

My sister has a theory that Bond movies are meant to be a response to the popular action-movie trends of their time; they're not meant to be pace-setters, but just to reflect their eras and serve as action-movie time capsules.  I like to judge them by that standard, which makes the ones that are colorful, confident,…

I grudgingly decided to watch Brave last weekend, and it really was surprisingly delightful.  Definitely underrated.  And as a curly-haired redhead girl, I especially appreciated a children's animated adventure movie about a mother/daughter relationship.  You definitely don't see enough of those.

I finally caught up with Brave last weekend and went in with extremely low expectations based on a sense that the word-of-mouth for it was sort of "meh".  So I was pleasantly surprised.  It really is gorgeous, and it's nice to see a movie like that with a mother/daughter relationship at the center of it.  But yeah —…

I agree that The Spy Who Loved Me is the best Moore Bond movie (it's actually my favorite of the entire franchise), and had exactly the same experience with Moonraker — went in vaguely remembering that it sucked and came out thinking, "That was delightful!"  Clearly Moonraker deserves the official title of "The best…

Argh!  I almost wish I didn't know that Season 8 of Peep Show was out there somewhere, with people better than I watching it.  Now I'm going to spend all my time feverishly reloading Netflix on my laptop while saying, "How about now?  Now?  Now???"

@Monkeylint:disqus Wow, that's a pretty cool fact!  I'd never heard that, or, to be honest, put much thought into it.  I just used vodka, but now I'm intrigued to see what it would taste like with the grain alcohol.

I KNOW!  I was on vacation when it got its F grade here, and I'm so disappointed I wasn't able to defend my good name.  For shame, makers of that shitty movie, for besmirching the Liz n Dick escutcheon.

In case anyone was wondering, Silver Cloud Estates is a great place to get ginger extract — or any other kind of extract you could imagine.
