I don't think that what you wrote was deceptive, since, as you say, you footnoted it as links to the actual quote. Instead, it was a total dick cheap shot, read as it would be quoted in turn anywhere else, or by anyone who didn't or couldn't click the links. Your defense of it deepens the my sense that you are a…

Yes, the comment only makes sense if he believes that Fox's entertainment divisions, maintained for the sheer love of art, are subsidized by the revenues from Fox News, and therefore need to stay on-message.

No way of knowing, Dookiestan LaFlair. But if she does, it will be with new, possibly Twilight-inspired vampires and/or demons, not the popular vampire characters that she had sex with in the series.

This is a remake of the Buffy movie, which was a flop, not the long-running TV show.
I understand that many people already know this, and others don't care, but they are quite different. The producers of the Buffy movie sold what they own to Warner Bros. That doesn't include any of the characters besides Buffy from…

I was going to see the new Harry Potter this weekend. Then I decided to save it for Thanksgiving time back in the home area. Where two and a half hours of escape to a magical world, or any other world or universe, even one that might be missing dimensions or major colors, might truly be reason to give thanks.

Thanks, William T. Goat, Esq. I think that was it. Apparently it was more wide-ranging than I remembered.

Thank you for taking the time to send your replies, however useless. It was a PBS show. It featured the then somewhat new, now as far as I know extinct, arty version of non-music industry music videos. Shorts, mostly animated, with music, from all over the world. The one I haven't been able to find through any…

Does anybody remember…
what the PBS 80's show that Liquid Television was sort of a rip-off of was called?

@ Col. Alphonse

The next Charlie Sheen?
Maybe they're trying to make their own 80's bad boy movie star turned sitcom star. Who could be even more lucrative after the original dies, probably pretty soon.

I think in this case the "acclaimed" part might hurt, too. As in "smarter people than you think that you should enjoy this, and if you don't, you're dumb." I'm not happy about the apparent failure, though. Alamo Drafthouse is one brand I'd almost buy unseen. Excuse me while I check my local movie listings.

Acclaimed jihad comedy
There's the marketing problem, likely.

If they're battery powered (and only battery powered), you can unscrew them from the ceiling and remove the battery. But some are actually wired to the household grid. I took one like that off and even after I noticed that it was wired in, I had become so incensed by the noise that I disconnected the wires by hand…

While I think Kanye West's "doesn't care" is certainly more accurate than saying that Dubya hates blacks or the poor, it's still missing the point. I don't think Dubya cares about anyone who doesn't materially help the interests of those who have been presented to him as his people. And most middle-class or even…

If you've read about it you can't think that involuntary commitment for insanity has a good history, anywhere. It's been terribly abused for all sorts of foul reasons. But the concern for justice for the individual has swung the pendulum so far toward protecting the rights of insane people to stay insane, contrary…

Beware of suits offering whimsy
My patience is admittedly thin for even really funny, creative people offering whimsy out of nowhere, appropriate to nothing. What are these suits up to, then?

We in Los Angeles are highly evolved, and know that fatality scenes take longer to clear off the freeway than anything.

I'm sorry. I actually only know Oingo Boingo from their exceedingly heavy rotation on KROQ in Los Angeles when I first came here in the early 90's. I hated their sound so much that after a while I just turned the radio off when they came on. I don't know anything about their work in the early 80's, and I might have…

Sorry, that wasn't clear. Bitter because it didn't get picked up. I thought it was excellent.

Meh?
I'm still so bitter about Virtuality. I won't get my hopes up. Actually, it's not so hard not to hope because remaking Wild Wild West again sounds like a terrible idea. But Moore must have a great idea for it, or he wouldn't bother.
