That's obvious.

They don't have to prove that Cosby is guilty of anything but defamation to win this case. They don't need to prove that they were telling the truth about Cosby. They need to prove that Cosby and his lawyers were telling lies about them, and that those lies constituted defamation.

Most relationships between men and women are with people generally within their age range. Yes, it's more common for older men to date younger women than vice versa (though less so than it used to be), but its more common still that people of both genders date people about their own age. That's the most common thing…

I would've gone with Marisol Estrep.

It's only poorly said if you don't know what the word "role" means.

There's an interesting story behind this. *grabs popcorn*

The movie was directed by Oliver Stone, which should tell you exactly how much ham was required.

None of this really matters until we hear Dan Ackroyd's take on it.

Now who could possibly have a problem working with Mike Love?

Actually, to some extent it is up to us to decide. If the public were clamoring for Elba to play Bond, then the studios would likely bend over backwards to make that happen, because they like it when we pay to see their movies.

The Bond films have gone very far afield from Fleming's writing (often for good reason, and even way back in the early films), so that argument doesn't hold a lot of water.

I don't think that's fair. I think she saw it as a special case because she was reporting on it, not because it was somehow a "great and special miscarriage of justice." That may have been how Chaudry introduced the case to Koenig, but Koenig seemed to treat it as just one case, rather than some special case…

NPR might be a bit more subtle and sophisticated than your average radio station (or TV news network), but that said, they really aren't all that smart, subtle, or sophisticated.They are middlebrow personified. So the fact that this show exists is not that shocking, but it's still a slight bit less terrible than Hard…

Newsflash: Movie studios like to make money.

That singsongy "I'm just an average Joe who doesn't know fuckall about shit" cadence is par for the course for This American Life, which is part of the reason that I find it to be so insufferable.

They haven't existed for all that long. It was started by Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill, and has been notorious for having a bunch of editors and contributors jump ship, even prior to their launch. So the answer is, maybe?

See it once, and you're free to go.

Yup, it's David Shire. That soundtrack is so great, and so influential. Those Quinn Martin TV shows like Streets of San Francisco and Mannix owe this soundtrack a huge debt.

And as far as Vietnam is concerned, at least he attempted to get out, and likely would have succeeded if Nixon hadn't scuttled the negotiations with the North Vietnamese as a means to get himself elected. So LBJ deserves at least some credit for that.
