I really liked how Laurel on Arrow suddenly became an alcoholic after consuming a glass of wine and apparently taking an aspirin. I think that was the fastest move from casual drinker to alki I've ever witnessed on television.

There have been a number of protests by fast food workers across the country. This has been going on for quite some time, and it's been in the news frequently. In fact, it was brought up in one of the articles that is linked to above, and I'll just post it here: http://www.theguardian.com/…

The fact that genre shows always have to take the "witches were real at Salem" tact is one of my pet peeves. Part of the problem is that the city of Salem itself promotes this idea. They have silhouettes of witches on broom sticks on many of their city signs. But to claim that witches were really at Salem in the…

Huh? I guess all those protesters asking for higher wages to feed their families and get off of public assistance are probably lying.

I also wish that Lucas were still involved somehow. I think that much of his directing and writing skills atrophied between A New Hope and The Phantom Menace, but he has always been a great idea man. The quality of The Clone Wars series demonstrates that Lucas still had it in him so long as he found the right…

I thought losing Donald Glover was going to kill last season. And while I would have liked more Donald Glover, his absence didn't ruin the show.

You know, it starts off and you think the movie might have some potential. There's a scene in a pub where Cusack is playing Poe like a conceited jerk, and it's kind of fun. But very quickly the movie falls apart. Poe is given an unnecessary romantic interest who is then captured and spends most of the movie trapped…

I just looked up this Mr. Blobby. And as an American, I have to say…what…the…fuck.

The tour was announced some time ago. Snag those tickets quickly. They had already sold out in my area by the time I got around to checking Ticketmaster.

Local H do a really nice cover of that song.

Yo La Tengo - "Cherry Chapstick"

X - "The World's a Mess; It's In My Kiss"

Bran and Hodor travel deep into those caves where they discover a nuclear bomb worshiped by a bunch of cultists. The nuclear bomb goes off and everyone dies. You can have that for a slight fee, George.

You've got me all wrong. I'm not disagreeing with what you wrote. In fact, I agree with your assessment of Kevin Smith's movies. Hell, I didn't even get far enough into his filmography to even see Cop Out, and judging by what I've heard, sitting through that crap would in fact be traumatic. I just thought it was…

"I watched Cop-out in it's entirety." This sentence feels like the moment in a film where it's revealed that a psychologically damaged character has been fleeing from a past trauma, explaining his or her behavior for most of the film. What I'm trying to say is, the vitriol in your post didn't make sense until I got…

I agree with this assessment. Rodriguez is at least a visual artists. At best, Kevin Smith is a writer of screenplays of varying quality. I still have some affinity for early Kevin Smith movies, but I haven't seen any of his films since Clerks II. And despite disliking both Machete movies, I enjoyed Sin City 2 far…

Judging by the poor reception of the Strain (and my own reading of the first book), Guillermo del Toro might be spreading himself a little thin. But so long as he keeps on pumping out great movies, he can keep on taking my money.

When I read the interview with Jay I was surprised at how leading and deferential the interviewer was, but at the time I just chalked it up to the interviewer wanting to give Jay the space he needed to tell his side of the story. But in front of the Urick interview, there's a lengthy preamble that clearly states that…

This guy doesn't get to avoid talking to the producers of Serial after they tried plenty of times to contact him and then complain that the producers of Serial didn't try to contact him. And then after complaining that they didn't try hard enough to contact him, he can't just state that he wouldn't have talked to the…

Your reasoning is rather tautological. Clearly a prosecutor does not know if his or her side will win a case before the case is fully tried, so there needs to be a better criteria for what constitutes a strong case than whether or not the prosecutor wins.
