The "we had no lawyer" line is bullshit. Nick Jr. has negotiated deals with dozens of child voice-over actors. They don't need to screw the kids that they work with and they didn't need Caitlin Sanchez - the next kid would have been very happy to sign a deal. Was the contract she signed generous? Probably not, but I'm

Latino and latina kids wear Dora products as a point of pride, and rightly so, as how many strong young Latino role models are there?

Exactly, Leonard. The word "precipitately" in the article is bullshit because Caitlin replaced Kathleen, the original Dora, so there was nothing precipitous about it. They (her parents) were just pissed off when it happened to their kid, got greedy, and now have "settled", that is, gave up. They screwed up.

No one's mentioned Sellers as Quilty in Lolita. A real creepy performance.

Swing and a miss, JB.

Actually her tramp stamp said "insert thumb here".

I love Citizen Kane and Joseph Cotten, but the young Jed Leland and the old Jed Leland just don't seem like the same character to me! The old Leland is so, I dunno, sprite and jolly, and the young one seemed more serious. Anyone else ever picked up on this?

I think you guys are missing the point - the reason Greenberg didn't work is because Ben Stiller was cast as Greenberg. In order for the plot to make sense, Greenberg, for all his faults, had to have a little charisma, a little sex appeal, which Stiller just did not project. Especially at the end - why on earth would

Kid Rock is the most repellant piece of shit to be thrust into the cultural sewer in the last 10 years. Completely without talent, and completely derivative.

Yeah and they get the chords wrong, but not in a way that makes it more interesting in a way that sounds like they couldn't figure out the right chords, and in a way that makes the song more boring.
I mean I'm sorry if the band reads this, but it really seems like four people who work in the AV Club office went into a

Lennon was 40 when killed, 10 years post-Beatles. People change, grow up, perceptions change. He and Paul were even friends again by his death. A Beatles reunion wasn't only possible, but likely IMHO if John lived. I think he'd care a great deal about the Beatles catalog.

Must must must stick up for Beatles "Love" album for Cirque de Soliel. They really did a fantastic job combining songs (putting the vocals for "Within You Without You" over the beat for "Tomorrow Never Knows" for example) in fun, surprising ways, used alternate takes and remixes, really did it impeccably. It's pretty

Ringo just wants to be left alone
First the video message, I'm not responding to you people any more:

Hey FreedomFan - it was Bill Clinton that left office after 8 years with a budget SURPLUS and George W. Bush who, in obscenely enriching the wealthiest 5% of Americans, left office with the highest debt ever and a completely collapsed economy. And it was your personal hero (i know you have his tattoo on your ass) Dick

Please please people - don't feed the trolls!

Yes yes and yes! Adaptation may be my favorite movie of all time. As M. points out (is that you Fritz Lang?) the movie becomes a cliched Hollywood potboiler when Charlie gives in and asks Donald to help him with the script he cannot finish. As McKee says, everyone has a genre, and the movie becomes Donald's genre. And

I agree with what you're saying almost completely - but I'm enjoying the show, more and more actually. I do think it will hit a stride eventually and be less stiff, but regardless of it's ungainliness, I like the characters and the story being told.

This kills me.
