Religious people who say things like that are assholes. Not because they're religious, necessarily, although religion can certainly make an asshole into a sanctimonious asshole. But they're all still assholes.

I didn't really find the vomiting that funny, either, but I loved this episode. Really hit the spot.

Was it when he looked right into the camera? I bet it was. Wow. What a way to go.

Is that Scrappy-Doo? Very distracting.

Herman's Head, Get a Life, and Babes.

Is the five-page limit going to be enforced with cookies, a-la the New York Times? Because if so, I must say lol.

Yes, now begins the countdown to the first reboot.

JOM (pronounced J-O-M) is a technical trade magazine devoted to exploring the many aspects of materials, science and engineering published monthly by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) (a member-based professional society).

There's nothing terribly wrong with KofQ, other than the fact that it's middlebrow and only occasionally funny. But in the long run, it certainly hasn't done anything to hurt Patton's career and respectability. As a standup, he continues to be very successful, and in addition to the handful of movie roles, he's had…

They were indeed shooting on location. I assume many of the interiors are still LA-based, though.

Larry Crowne vs. Harry Brown.

It's not ridiculous. Tom Hanks isn't a slovenly, obese, herpes-ridden gargoyle. Girls are pretty forgiving when it comes to personal appearance. Even for a Wal-Mart stockboy, being well-groomed and emotionally stable and not saying creepy or offensive things will get you 80% of the way there.

I don't care about video & audio quality so much, so Hulu doesn't bother me, although I will admit that Netflix is a thousand times better when it comes to streaming content. Like MTT, I don't have a cable / satellite hookup and watch everything online. The subscription rates are just fucking outrageous, and since I'm…

The meat grinder: yet another example, for me, of seeing The Simpsons parody before I knew it was a parody.

I don't think it's just about the length. Most of the negative reactions I've encountered to The Wall are because it takes itself really, really seriously, and because all its ideas are right there, on the surface, without subtext or playfulness. I'm fine with that, personally, and I love TW, but if you're the kind of…

I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion about River's death. It's always mentioned in passing, but I came away from ISH thinking it was entirely about Joaquin's relationship with his brother. I mean, wasn't he the one who called 911? And he was 19 years old at the time. It seems to me Joaquin was creating a…

I'm pretty suspicious of the limo liberal stereotype. I don't know any rich liberals who live in gated white communities. Maybe they do in California, where those rich liberals also happen to be celebrities, but most of the wealthy leftists I've known live in older, well-maintained inner-ring suburbs, upscale city…

Less Michael Stipe, I think, than Thurston Moore, although I think Nirvana definitely would have gone belly up within a few years. I could see him going deeper into the art world and maybe giving up music entirely, or making music of extremely limited appeal. Knocking around Seattle, publishing a book of poetry and…

There's nothing about the US version that is better than the UK version. The US version has had its funny moments, but it's never come close to having the emotional weight of the UK version. Granted, that has a lot to do with the fact that the emotions are spread out over many more episodes, but the US version doesn't…
