Oddly enough I don't think they did a take off of any of Buscemi's roles, which seems like a waste to me.

Fortunately the Saints are playing in primetime tonight giving people even less of a reason to watch Family Guy.

Wow, Bill the Butcher was right after all.

The funny thing is that according to an interview the actress who played Angela said they were considering having her go to New York and get involved with a female anarchist in the village. Yes, it could have been far, far worse for us.

As much as I can miss a minor character from a comic strip I haven't read on a regular basis since high school (about a decade ago) I miss her as well. Such a nice foil. I wish Amend was still doing dailies. I'd definitely buy the books.

It'd be a nice bookend to his relationship with Richard but I think it's unlikely. Harrow is many things, but he is loyal and Jimmy is his only friend (the reverse is also probably true). Harrow is much more likely to hear Jimmy out before pulling the trigger than letting his grief overwhelm him.

I think the two key scenes for Jimmy this week were his longing to be the man laying on the beach chair without a care in the world and his exhausted, harried faced as he drove to Princeton. Here was a man who, just a year  and a half ago, was a returning veteran longing to find his place in the world. Now, he's the…

The size of his family may be a hinderance but if Nucky's to thrive and return to power his brother either needs to be removed, silenced or made one hundred percent Nucky's man. That said, it's not necessarily Nucky or his faction that would do Eli in. It's just as likely he could  be killed by one of his own…

I'd be shocked (as I've written below) if anything happens to Margaret. She's as close to an outsider as you can get in this show and still make sense (edit) as an audience surrogate.

Well, I liked this episode a bit better than our reviewer did, although it did have its flaws. Given that there are two episodes remaining in the season I figured we could lay some odds on which character is next most likely to depart the series.

If he's not on it by the end of the season, and he survives, I can certainly see him dabbling in the next.

That Garfield/Dilbert mix is an interesting comparison, although the surreal/absurd aspect of some of  the episodes strikes me as need a slight dash of the Quigmans. All told, it's not a bad mix to describe the show. All three comics are terrible, but like Garfield, Family Guy was something worthwhile back in its…

"No one was making fun of Andy Griffith. I can't emphasize that enough."

I'll throw this one out there: the bar scene from Sleepers where Kevin Bacon gets killed. It's visceral, has a nice soundtrack and encompasses everything that the film stands for, good or ill.

I think Rob Roy's definitely aged better than Braveheart (which I still think is a fun movie, but so much distorted history). That fight scene is top notch. 

I always thought there was something off about that Hari fellow. That's all just basic journalism 101 that he fucked up. College newspaper level journalists get ridden out on the rails for this, but he's going to be back in 2012. Geez, what a shit.

It's in my notes!

Not sure if you're serious Neckbeard, but you're off by more than a hundred years.

I think both are incredibly good. Linklater's films are a mixed bag for me: there's the two of these movies, Slacker, Waking Life and Dazed and Confused that I really enjoy and then the rest of his movies that I have no desire to ever see again.

I think you're pretty well correct there.
