Are we talking about the legendary basketball player?  He's a tv blogger now? What a world.

I kind of liked that show, but I didn't understand why Hyde acted like Jim Carrey in The Mask.

I had forgotten about that until I saw that picture of "Anna Chapman".  She wasn't quite as attractive as Kerri Russell but she was quite a looker.

between the ass and that bitchy attitude, I would be in the bathroom every 15 minutes.

I enjoyed it a great deal, but I did find myself fighting the premise a bit.  Not that I don't buy deep undercover spies, but why encourage them to have children?  I see how that makes them slightly less suspicious, but how suspicious is a childless couple really?  It's a small gain in that sense, but it's a huge…

In my experience, women in real life get excited when men fight over her.

The partner kicking the crap out of the pedo was silly but satisfying in a mook-ish sort of way.

I like the letter grades.  It's a good indication of what reviews to read.  If a movie gets an A, I will read the review to see if it sounds like it's worth watching (90% of the time I read the review and it's something like The Loneliest Planet that I wouldn't watch in a million years, but occasionally it's something…

Knowing who won the Stanley Cup makes me think you're a Canadian spy.

All I can think of when I watch that show are the awful characters Sweet Dee created for her youtube videos.

the UK Shameless.  The first few seasons were mainly about the Gallagher family, so it starts with Frank giving his (occasionally disingenuous) opinions about the family.  As the Gallagher family began to leave the show, and the show became more about the neighborhood, it evolved into a couple of Frank rants, first…

I remember reading about a famous dancer who had cocaine in the wings so she could get high between acts.  That's sort of gritty.

I had to watch the first few episodes with the subtitles on, but at some point it started to click.

Shameless is an extremely ok show that is a remake of a genuinely brilliant show.  That sort of makes me hate it, but I still watch it for some reason.

No, it's a contract, not a law created by the legislature. The 1st amendment guarantees that the government won't limit your freedom of speech, not that you can't limit your own through a voluntary contract.

singular would be Mar Volta

It was…interesting.  But not really funny or thematic or all that entertaining.  Something of a failure by this show's standards.

There is no "post Joe Strummer Clash".  It was Mick Jones that was kicked out.  Well, him and Topper Headon, but that was for unrelated junkie reasons.

"Instead I'm in my early 30's and I spent 4 years in my mid-20's in Manhattan where I was working and playing hard. "

Anyone who says no to Weird Al is lame.  If I were a musician, getting parodied by Weird Al would be the ultimate sign that I had made it.
