College Thursday football is brilliant. NFL Thursdays are sheeeeeeeeeiiiiiiit.

We managed to convince the Nets that Sam Bowie was totally worth it, and then went from also-rans to contenders.

V/H/S 3: 500 days to Remember?

It doesn't have much to do with actual deity and practices, but with all the cultural chauvinism and nationalism that go with them. The USSR, outside maybe Cuba, didn't get along with any other Communist country. China started a war with Vietnam and did worse than the US did.

That's the worst bunch right there. There's a lot of neo-Calvinism going on in fundamentalist and Evangelical Christianity and for every guy who thinks it's the most consistent reading and is happy with that, there's a legion who are just macho assholes.

Not really, since there were already accounts of the Pentecost, so later passages are more about more prosaic goodness, as opposed to tongues of fire suddenly appearing. Though you're right about the ill-defined nature. You could get a Christian from every denomination and sect and each would have a conflicting…

Weber is a shitty reference for Calvinism, trying to describe one thing with a completely different thing. Try Marylinne Robinson's books, both her fiction and non-fiction. As for the other comment, read about Anabaptists. They are neither boring, nor a version of Lutheranism.

Not really.

I think a lot of it comes from the end titles, that if you watched the movie without those, it would look different.

A lot of those guys were already commenting less frequently at the time of the split. A bunch of them were already more active on twitter.

And Netflix for a month costs a fraction of a movie ticket.

And a good game is a good group experience, as well. Sit in a circle, concentrate on one thing and shoot the shit when it's not your turn.

I wonder what sort of spec scripts (of other shows) they'd be interested in? Penny Dreadful? Outlander? Fringe? A crossover between all three?

What if she wants to get the band (or coven, rather) back together? That would be awesome.

The grease from the chicken allows you to cut corners on your immolation.

When a store is famous for cheap it is won't pay it's employees enough that they can shop there without government assistance, you know it's beyond fucked up.

I'm enjoying the flashbacks, as well. BE could be seen as a counterpoint to the Sopranos, ie showing not the ending but the beginning of the mob, but the flashbacks go further than that by linking all the violence with more genteel, traditional politics. At the same time it deepens the character resonances. In the…

For sure.
'Why is the railing so far away?'

I'd say it was an A just for the line, "Every time you talk, all I hear is that sound that plays when Pac-Man dies."
