Two thoughts: This episode was really funny. The wrong person is reviewing the show.

Years ago, they had cut off my service, came out and disconnected the cable, but continued to bill me for services beyond that date. The bill (SOME of which was valid) had accrued to over $500. When I called, the rep acknowledged the date service ended and that there were charges that continued, but they never took…

NO. This is the canard always trotted out, but no. Scientology doesn't belong in the same discussion as religions, because it isn't one.

No way Clinton would have stayed in that room. By staying there, Bush is basically signaling that "the situation is being handled - by someone else." In other words, Cheney's got this covered, so I can just sit here. What does "a room full of kids" have to do with anything? (What, there's an emergency? But I'm the…

Sure they are. Fly much? There are planes where every seat back has a screen built in, and each person can pick what they want to want to personally watch. (A couple years ago, I looked over to see my friend watching the Black Swan, right at the moment when Mila Kunis was going down on Natalie Portman.)

"See, the whole thing is people don’t read the Bible properly at all. At no point is there an Antichrist. At no point is there Satan as a character…"

And the one Jim picked up had a capo already on it - on just the right fret!

Eighty-ONE million, actually. 80 wouldn't have produced the needed results, apparently.

I'd never heard of her before. She was fucking terrible. Her visual presentation of herself - which is the first thing you notice, how can you not? - is like a juvenile's idea of what men would find sexy (or, in the first song, Jodi Foster's underage hooker in Taxi Driver). Her outfits in both numbers were distracting…

Fireplace includes the painting above it.

I know, LOL - they picked the Leftovers, a show I bailed on (after hanging on for about 8 episodes), but not House of Cards, a riveting series that had me looking for the next episode as soon as one was done (isn't that kind of what defines good TV?)

New Rule: All cell phone video recorders are disabled when held vertically, with message saying "Yo, dumbass, turn your phone to sideways to landscape mode in order to record video! Dumbass!"

Thank god. Having Swift play Joni would be like Peter Noone (back in the day) playing John Lennon.

I agree! No review of the new Pink Floyd album (their first in 20 years and last new one ever!) but review of One Direction?!? And then THIS article about Taylor Swift?
Totally tone deaf regarding the readership here…..

OK: I found it addictive, and wanted to keep moving on to the next episode. I agree with another commenter that it's a perfect Netflix show because you want to keep on bingeing until it's all gone. (I'm about to watch the last ep now.) Whether it qualifies as "great" doesn't matter - it's really well produced, the…

I was about to make the same point - Martha hadn't even been written yet (If you know Beatles history indeed…) There's no indication Hey Bulldog is directed at Paul in any way.

$18?!? I didn't realize American Hustle was a 3D IMAX movie….

One of Joel's roadies: Ten shows at MSG? Cool, a nice long residency. What's that? NONE of the dates are consecutive? You mean we have to set this shit up all over again every single time?!? I hate you just the way you are….

The thing I liked most about the film was how it made starkly clear that all these Wall Street brokers are just salesmen, who don't give a shit what they're selling. It's all about commissions, and that, since their companies don't actually make anything, they're just hustlers and grifters, contributing nothing…

I used to hear this as a diss of The Beatles and/or their fans, but he was actually referring to the show "Beatlemania." Which certainly was phony.
