Very interesting what Burns said about the MLK doc and how it fell apart. Kudos to him and his dedication to tell the whole story, not just what the MLK estate would dictate.
Trying to please everyone is what made The War so muddled and overlong; there were protests from Native American and Hispanic vets just before…

I really hope Burns is the type who would scroll down to read the comments on his interviews, because he would get a kick out of these.

Anyone else take away with that one fact: that the age of consent was 10.

It is already done and coming to PBS in 2012: The Dust Bowl.

Women's Christian Temperance Union: too long and unmemorable. They really should have called it the Women's Temperance Foundation.

Back then it was considered bad luck to interfere with the crazy old ladies.

"I'm gonna go get high before the show."
I love Artemis!

Yes, I was thinking this was the most disgusting DeVito has been since The Penguin

"You're wheezing now! This has gone too far!"
Mac should say fat just for the jokes.

Agreed. PBS Kids pushes "Ready To Learn", a program that stresses the need for kids to know the basics (colors, shapes, letters and numbers as well as knowing to sit the fuck down and listen) BEFORE they go to Kindergarten. I was shocked to hear from many teacher friends that kids never have any instruction at home…

Just have to say your "cool story bro" is much better than a certain frequent poster jizzing about how he was at Colbert to see Radiohead. What a moron. Freak moment in sports history > Taking a photo of yourself at Colbert and moaning how he didn't get to talk to him.

Gah, for real. Showing my age here, but when Heart returned in the late 80's with the big hair and glitter, I was all "What the fuck happened to those sweet hippy chicks who sang Dog and Butterfly?!? What is this hair band ripoff shit? Okay, this will pass and they will get back to serious music again." But then there…

Detroit!

She was much more outraged that someone called her a "filthy Nigerian".
He should have been more sensitive and just called her a bitch.

I still claim Raul Julia's greatest work has to be in Overdrawn at the Memory Bank and The Addams Family (where he actually made Gomez kind of sexy!)

Del Boca Vista is an obvious riff of the retirement haven Boca Raton, which means "Rat's Mouth".
A lot of younger, rich golf-douches live there too, so the name is soooo appropriate.

Airport security/passport lines are downright dangerous to cut into; everyone is cranky and believe they are late. Kelis got off easy.

Why would ANYONE do that with Mitchell, Joel?!?

The scene with the cop hassling the couple necking in the car was in a tire commercial a few years ago. It's just for a second (where the cop taps the guy on the shoulder), and I was all, "That's from Manos!" Possibly the only stock footage you can take from the movie (aside from the endless driving open).

I still say, "You missed the Early Bird!" to friends I meet for dinner.
In South Florida, the EB is still serious business. When I see huge crowds of old people at some places, I make a note to go back there because the food must be good and a square deal to boot.
