Indeed, part of the charm of Carpenter's movie is that it's half horror movie and half detective story. Kurt Russell is Miss Marple with a flamethrower, basically. 

"A Hundred Years Ago" is another candidate for unjustly neglected '70s Stones track.

I think the first three albums are pretty unfuckwithable. She kind of lost me after that, although I've heard good things about The Beekeeper. Also, that one episode of "Homicide: Life on the Streets" that used "Crucify" in the closing scene is forever seared into my brain, in a good way.

EVERYBODY loves the shit out of Chik-Fil-A.

YOU shove off!

I saw the Hopscotch show the other week. Yes, it's probably not their last show, but damn, that would have been a hell of a show to go out on.

I think part of the reason the violence is so off-putting is because for the first half hour or so, there is no violence. So we're getting used to what looks like a moody character piece, and then suddenly, we're off to the races with shotguns and shower rods and elevator stompings.

I'm still waiting for them to bring back News for the Hard of Hearing.

"How much Keefe is in this movie? Miles O'Keefe!"

Ummm, I swallowed the knife.

Cheating! Possibly the best thing they ever did.

Eh, after season one they hit their stride. But yes, that first season is markedly slower paced than the others.

Also notable as the only comedy—er, "comedy"—the show ever did. 

Yeah, they could probably get a list that's twice as long as this one:

They're action figures, not dolls!

Are you talking about Under Suspicion, with Karen Sillas? That was over 15 years ago, and since the average attention span of the average network TV viewer is about 10 minutes, I think CBS is in the clear on this one.

Ross and Rachel were Nazi sympathizers? I'll never watch Friends the same way again.

I like the third season more than most people, it seems, and in fairness, what the hell would you do with the ending Morgan and Wong left you? It's the biggest fuck-you from a departing showrunner since Sorkin had the president's daughter kidnapped at the very end of his West Wing run and said, "good luck with that…

Anybody get the no alarm/no kills achievements yet? How difficult is it?

Yeah, the first boss gave me fits because I didn't have the Typhoon yet. Then I killed the second and third ones with about two blasts from it.
