Is that last pic from the Academy Awards that formed the climax of "Chaplin"? I watch that film almost every time I run across it.

Every 'Hardcore truthteller" who goes off on this topic starts from the same flawed premise: Wall Street and the big banks went nuts on subprime derivatives and screwed us all.

I kept reading his name as David Jansen. Imagining David Jansen as a former New York Doll was just a mite bit weird.

Hmmm, that's how the resurrected cat killed a victim in Pet Sematary. Stephen King sure likes that bit.

Young Goodman Brown stuck with (in?) me quite a bit. "Welcome to the true communion of your race!" Chills. What if all the good upstanding people in your life secretly delight in all you hate and fear? What if your true destiny is to find joy, freedom, and lotsa lotsa sex by throwing off your highest aspirations and…

I can concede that Tom would have to be trimmed a lot to keep things moving in the films, but cutting him altogether destroyed the setting of the table with where the hobbits' blades came from and the neat little surprise re: Merry and the Witch King at the Pelennor Fields.

I love and will gladly defend Hudson Hawk. As the review above mentions, it appeals to people who enjoy playfulness, silliness, a sense of un-self-serious gusto. David Caruso gets a no-look punch to the face from an irritated Bruce Willis—even the grumpiest hard case must crack a smile at that!

Possible vague spoilers:

The Keepers are a cool Puppetmasters horror trope (which causes me to disagree with Rowan about disliking Captain Jack in Season 4), but their masters are a total letdown. I've never understood JMS on this. He says they only did the phase-shifting effect on the Drakh ambassador because the makeup was disappointing and…

I hated the hair at first, but after an episode or two it grew on me. Is it any more an affectation than a powdered wig? And it has the same old-world decadence feel to it. At least it was something unique! Plus, it made space for the telling bit where the murderous fop emperor could act all "look how fashionably…

This is the thing—not only is it a powerful moment of one human being taking compassion on another and giving them some much-needed life-coaching, but it retroactively (as Donna so astutely observes in her review) addresses the fact that Barney's pursuit of Robin last season was a little abrupt and unsatisfying. Now…

Now that I know why you troll, I get less irritated, but You're Doing It Wrong(tm). Horse-faced is long and thin, as in SJP. Ms. Milioti's face is a charmingly petite variation on the classic heart shape. If anyone on this show has a long face, it's Robin.

She dropped some serious dating/life Yoda on Barney—being that comfortable with strangers and that confident-yet-compassionate makes her seriously awesome.

Liked for name/comment synergy as well as content.

Cookie Monster doing Shatner? The gestalt is now, people!!!

I only took the gym classes that were required as a freshman/sophomore, and showering was assumed, with a short time slot allowed for a quick scrub-and-go. Nobody typically monitored it, but if a gym teacher caught you changing straight into your street clothes they would make disapproving comments. Of course, this…

It was just one of many little grace notes that made this a return-to-form episode in the best way possible.

I'm starting to have a bad case of deja chew….

Speaking of Seinfeld—Kaaahhhnnnnnn!!!!!

"Ender's Game" is a ripping yarn. The movie may not do it justice, but at least the source material is solid.
