Look, what I'm saying is not that it's not the greatest film ever made, I'm just saying that I don't think the Weinsteins will be able to throw their weight around this time given that they have stiffer competition this year. I would say Lincoln is undoubtedly the favorite for best picture, given its cast and timely…

AV club's pushing the Silver Linings is Shakespeare in Love narrative really hard, but frankly I just don't see it. I guess Shakespeare just seems like Oscar bait: accomplished cast, elaborate period costumes, and of course an emphasis on Shakespeare. Silver Linings isn't notable in any regard, really. I mean late…

Agreed. I worked in the UMass textbook annex this fall, I think my favorite people were the field hockey girls looking for the text for the class all sports scholarship students have to take and the people in the ag school (they all smelled like cigarettes, I wonder what they're planning on growing…). That said I have…

I'm in the minority in that I like neither Gaiman the person (due to the fact that he's enormously wealthy and still uses kickstarter funding and his marriage to Palmer) nor Gaiman the author, but I would argue that his work has always been overly sentimental and that your ability to remain ignorant of this fact has…

Yes, I've since gone back and re-watched a lot of the past two seasons (netflix trial, if you live in Europe don't bother with netflix, I'll add) and I don't know what the fuck was wrong with me, they were definitely enjoyable, sometimes classic.

Living for a year in Boston made me glad that 1) I was from Western Massachusetts 2) that people from Boston cannot locate Western Massachusetts on a map, lest they decide to infest it. I also like "The Monitor" more than I did before, which is an impressive feat in itself.
