Yeah, but Iannucci's stuff is all very vague. It's about universal aspects of politics that don't change no matter who's in power, not about policy or issues. And it's primarily about how ego-driven the sort of person who is attracted to a political career is. I'd say it's not so much bi-partisan as it is completely…

I just found out that Dobie Gillis was a movie before it was a TV show. Why I was reading about Dobie Gillis online in the first place, I can't tell you.

I blame the media.

Nope. Northern California. Probably a few more Poles where you lived than there are here.

According to wikipedia, Bain co-founded and was the first president of a credit union for actors, so you're right to trust him with your money.

It would be hard to not be a bad-ass with a name like Conrad. I've met one Conrad in my life, a six-foot six Polish punk rocker who took no shit from anyone. When I was told this terrifying giant was named Conrad, I thought "Yeah that's about right."

That's it? Sex toys and zombies? Dan must have spent about ten minutes on his column this week. Nice work if you can get it.

I believe the first Wayne's World sketch was on at ten to one.

So you must protest?

White people! Black people! It's Christmas! Let's just both embrace our worst (relatively innocuous) stereotypes, OK?

Africa?

I see you and I made similar jokes. I bet that when sophisticated people like us see a reference to both her and Shakespeare, that hath a way of happening.

How about a Shakespeare biopic where she plays his wife?

Well, it's this mat, and it's got these conclusions that you can JUMP to.

How about calling them "a holy trinity?"

So more like the Helen Mirren, then?

I can understand that. One problem with historical movies is that when they're totally accurate, they can end up looking ridiculous. Things need to play to a modern audience to some extent. Can you imagine a Robin Hood where the regular people are speaking Middle English and the nobles are speaking Norman French.?
