Most teachers that do a bad job get called on it. By their peers especially. It's not like these things exists in a vacuum. Vinny is definitely right about the level of noise for "bad" teachers in relation to how much the education system is failing students on the whole because of them. The grand majority of teachers…

That's a pretty skewed perspective. 40k is lower middle class at best, definitely below the median. It certainly isn't on the level they should be earning for the job they do. Instead of arguing about people getting paid crap at your dept store job you should demand better wages so that you get paid closer to the…

We need to update the morality tale for our times. I'm imagining Chaucer's Canterbury Tales with more of tales from the crypt motif updated with todays torture porn aesthetic from Saw and Hostel. Of course it would be in 3-D.

Seriously, Rabin, I had totally written this film off and now this review makes me think wtf?

Oh no, he's an icon, or at least he will be. You will be seeing people sporting Machete shirts just like they wear Che shirts or Zapata shirts. Maybe not as much or for as long but it will happen. In a month go to a local swap meet that Latinos frequent and you will see what I am talking about.

MACHETE DON'T TEXT!
I really think you low balled it on this one Tobias. This movie is pretty awesome, not perfect but it does a lot more than you give it credit for. Seriously, I think you are going to come back to this review years later and ask what you were thinking. I don't want to oversell it. I gave the movie a…

I'm thinking either "Harry Potter" goes to college and/or something with that ministry of magic type deal they alluded to in the books.

I don't know I am mighty curious. But then, look at my avatar, I don't think anything could ever smell as interesting as me.

I was questioning the programming decision of putting one of the greatest Futurama episodes ever right after such an average episode.

Seriously, when I read shellacked Twinkie at first I thought "how would you shellack a whole person, oh well…."

Ugh, anytime you wish you can un-see something then that has be bad. Sorry you had to sacrifice your virgin eyes on the altar of pop culture effluvia.

Pft, she's all woman, I don't know what you are talking about Telly.

EVIL!!!!

I thought it was a tad humorous, in a kind of back hand light sardonic sort of way, but mostly galling. Like, the situation was so bad, why did she even have to go there with some ignorant offhand racist remark? Maybe different people have a different sense of humor. That's probably more something on which honest…

What that guy did was wrong, but his documented status has nothing to do with it. We're not talking about some criminal escaped from prison. We're talking about someone who might have been here without papers doing a morally repugnant act. The morally repugnant part was not his supposed undocumented status it was his…

I hope this gets Martin to finish up book #5 and the rest of the series. He was actually going at a pretty good clip until book 4 and 5. It might not be worth starting the series until book #5 is out. While book 1-3 are great, book 4 was hard to get through. Hopefully, this HOB series will not interfere more with his…

For some reason I heard Homer Simpson's voice when reading "Spooooooky e-mails."

Johannes, I think you need to start a campaign for that over in the Savage Love column, speaking of which…

Iron Eagle had to be one of the most watched VHS tapes I had as a kid.

Shit, these lazy mofos need to set an antiwar movie in Korea. Those nationalist resistance forces beat off the Japanese with blood and sacrifice and then US came in with the UN and backed the fucking Korean collaborator's version of the Vichy regime so the privileged landowners could keep a tight grip on things.
