Is this the place to discuss violence against women?
We all know that it's not okay to hit women, but that doesn't give them a pass to say whatever they want from inside their estrogen forcefield.

They're only human. Maybe you don't remember the 90s that well but I can tell you, it got pretty damned exhausting seeing another movie about philosophizing/wisecracking criminals come out every other week. And, despite the praise we're heaping on it here - and it is good - Way of the Gun is no masterpiece. It's no…

disagree. painful. i know what he's doing. i get it. it's not funny.

Not on iTunes
Last I checked: Bob Seger

Nashville Skyline is considered one of the lesser Dylan albums, kind of unfairly, I think, because it's a lot more hit than miss. But yeah, that's a clunker.

Sherley
Goddamn, what a great story that is! What a testament to the man's sincerity that he greeted the dude outside the prison on his release. He didn't just perform the song to pander to his audience or write a letter (or have his manager or some underling do it) but actually came out for the guy. Shit, that is for…

I could put it in her brownie.

No, Pop-Pop does not get a treat; I just brought you a fucking pizza!

The Hogan Family
Devoted to what? I'll tell you what: breakout star Edie McLurg as Mrs. Poole. It may have been a middling sitcom but surely she belongs in the pantheon of wacky neighbors.

Like any catchphrase, the worst thing about them is the ubiquity. It's annoying to have people reach for a stock phrase rather than express something original and tailored to the situation. I don't need to be wowed with rhetoric, but people using their own words is one way to feel like they've thought about what…

Reminds me of that Neil Young song
The one where he asks over and over, "Why do I keep fucking up?"

Why remake Last House on the Left?
because the original was kind of lousy? just a guess.

It's also not like Bono doesn't already have hundreds of millions of dollars with which to feed and house his family in high-style for several generations. And it's also not like his stated and ostensible goal and purpose (creating art) isn't, if not directly inhibited by his Blackberry-pushing, at least somewhat…

I kinda liked the U2 iPod
I mean, not for U2-iness of it, but just, you know, black iPod, red wheel. Looked pretty good.

Mercy Seat
Nabe,

A line I've been dying to use . . .
for some reason it resonates with me - the man seemed to represent so much of what is good about people, flaws and all - but I just haven't found the right situation in which to use it:

Family Ties: Fifth Season
What would we do, baby, without this DVD set?

Oh, god. That Casino Royale song. Fucking awful. Made that credit sequence seem about a year long.

I don't get it
Even though the vast majority of DVD watchers don't get too deep into special features (I don't listen to many commentaries but I NEVER skip a blooper reel) for many buyers that's what makes a purchase worthwhile. Renters probably don't care but isn't it more expensive for them to issue two versions?…

what's my motivation?
umm, I've got spiders all over me and I've got to get them off.
