Great ending
Just fantastic. What I have really appreciated about this season is the show's willingness to acknowledge the more unpleasant side of it's love for New Orleans. The biggest advocate for the city, Davis, can be a real douche. He grows on you, but he can be overbearing and irritating, much like the city…

I hope they have a minute for "Bored of the Rings" in there somewhere.

I always draw a line between how they show the co-ed showers in this film and the way that female officers in Star Trek are addressed as "sir". They are both attempt to show gender issues as being of much less concern in the future. The Star Trek one I believe will happen (look how it has already become fashionable to…

I thought the opposite of Black Book. I almost found it too stylized, loved it though.

I really missed the suits … they were such an integral part of the book. However, in the book he was clearly clear that the MI was still a meat-grinder. The suits didn't protect them that much as everyone that Johnny saw before joining and in indoctrination was an amputee. It might have been difficult to show that…

The problem, Bacon, is not that capital punishment is fascist but that it is a small step in that direction, at least to my way of thinking. The centralized information networks, huge military, "swift" justice, etc. of Heinlein's books are not inherently fascist in themselves, but each is a small step and it becomes…

Don't know if I would say marky-Mark is "on the wane". He was fairly awesome in "The Departed" and was the best thing about "Date Night". On the other hand, Max fucking Payne. He's involved with Boardwalk empire, which looks pretty damn good.

All I remember about the DeLaurentis Kong is Kong pawing Jessica Lange's dress and then giving us one of the first classic nip-slips. fortunately, Time Magazine printed it frame-by-frame and thus greatly enlightened a month or so of my childhood.

I didn't hate Titanic and it has at least held up over time … as in, it was good-not-great then and it's good-not-great today.

If you really look at it, good music and food, great beaches, hot women, nice climate , cheap hookers and booze. Mexico should have an immigration problem with us. I say open the border. All the poor people can come up here and work and all us old men can retire down there. Eventually, it will all balance out.

Kristoferson wrote it and Cash made it. This yahoo gets no fucking credit for it from me.

Well, let's see, my 245 Lb nephew (at 12 years old) watching Family Guy reruns and playing Wii while he waits for the Dominoe's delivery or the determined immigrant who crossed 90 miles of shark-infested water or climbed inside the landing gear of a jet to get here?

Pascal took his wager so seriously that he left all his scientific work behind (which laid the basis for modern probability theory) and became a bit o f a religious nut.

While I think that the "instant" Apocalypse is impossible (barring an asteroid or Yellowstone erupting), a slow-motion long decline is possible or even likely. I think what drives a lot of this is that sort or creeping dread that our kids lives are going to be a lot worse than ours were.

North Korea wouldn't use a bomb, but would they sell one or assist someone in making one (as they may have done in Syria)? It's not likely, but it is not implausible. Israel using one if their existence is threatened is also unlikely but not impossible.

It's not technically a supermarket, but you can buy them in the country store near my girlfriend's house. The market and a gun shop are, I guess, technically separate but they are in the same building with no wall between them. I took my girlfriend's Italian parents there and they were just stunned ….

Evil, that is a description of just about every election in the world.

Pascal's wager assumes (a) that a genuine sense of belief can just be turned on in order to obtain a theoretical reward and (b) that there is no cost to one's self or the world for engaging in this belief and its practices.

The older I get and the more time travel shit I see he, the harder I find to enjoy it. Aside from the obvious "if it were possible we would have seen it" thing, the very idea is so wrapped up in paradox that it has just become impossible for me to enjoy. I want to suspend my disbelief, but I have just seen it used too…
