So, uh…
I'm guessing no clit-snipping or talking foxes, then?

Also…
Holy crap, Winona Ryder is 39?

Not to nitpick…
But I think Charlie Parker is usually associated with bebop while hard bop refers to a style that came later (after Parker was dead, maybe?) and was partially influenced by Parker and his contemporaries.

I think you're missing the forest for the trees, JoeyBelle. Sure, Winter's Bone might have gotten Missouri/Arkansas meth culture totally wrong, but meth culture wasn't the point. It could've been any criminal enterprise (as you said in your original post) and the heroine would've had to go on the same journey. …

Mario Galaxy 2
What's the consensus on Mario Galaxy 2? It's on my Amazon Wishlist so there's a better-than-good chance that I'll find it under the tree soon. I love Mario Galaxy, but is MG2 too similar to be of much worth? That's my only concern.

Tip from the pros:

Followed by the byline "Hudson Then Beaten To Death By Casey Affleck, Soils Self".

A guy who thinks he's a lot more clever and interesting than he really is, Ape.

ARTICLES
I can't wait for the deluge of "OH NOES! Big Stars Don't Always Equal Boffo Box Office Anymore!" articles and columns in the wake of The Tourist going down the shitter. I think it's an important topic that the media conveniently forgets about far too often, due to them being too busy performing analingus on…

lex, Did you ever see the PSA with the teen/preteen girl going to the mall with some friends and all these creepy pedo-type dudes kept coming up and asking her personal questions like "What color panties are you wearing today, Megan?" The whole point was to encourage teens not to get too personal on the Internet. So…

Wow…
No vitriolic, hate-filled vaccine vs. anti-vaccine thread? Has the Internet become sane? I hope not…

Is Ryan Davis a Gamespot ex-pat too? I thought it was just Gertsmann. Might have to take a look at Giant Bomb sometime either way. Though I am still partial to Gamespot.

Fair enough, but there are better ways to make a case for yourself.

Oof…

BA in English, work at a library. English major, books, close enough for me not to feel too ashamed. And like littlealex said, would never major in anything else. College was almost embarassingly easy for me.

Accepted
Apology accepted, Keith. I, for one, like and respect this publication too much to let the unethical actions of one writer (whose work I enjoyed very much and am very sorry to see let go but whose behavior I won't defend) sully my opinion of it or make me any less enthusiastic about reading everything it…

I know times are tough, Sam, but that's just in poor taste. I don't think you've made a very good impression on the editors.

Bingo, pheeze. You've just described my gifting process to a T. Very rarely has my wife said "Get me this for Christmas" (this year was an exception…Amazon Kindle) but all throughout the year I'll hear "I'd really love one/a set of those" or "Oh, I love that, it's SO CUTE". Easy-peasy, Japanesey. But I can believe…
