Second the Keen Eddie appreciation; a very fun, stylish show.

Lucky was fantastic, and just a smidge too soon. It came on just before poker got huge; if it had debuted 6 months later, it would have gotten a much better chance.

It's shtick. On the TV Club 30 for 30 show about Ali vs. Spinks, you can read Stacy being perfectly lucid and cogent while talking about Muhammed Ali. He basically got so excited about Ali, he forgot to log out of Stacy512 before sounding sane and non-annoying. Shtick.

The New Adventures of Old Christine is a pretty solid show that has some really nicely written jokes. And Wada's good in it. You're on thin ice, Melon Collie. Thin ice, I say.

Good book. I've become such a big Pelecanos fan in the last couple of years.

Stacy, your lucid, cogent comments on the 30 for 30 Ali vs Frazier thread really undermied the bullshit you spout in all the other threads.

Jen(n?) is having one of the most interesting arcs I can remember on a reality show. In the beginning she seemed to be (or was portrayed as) a cold, serious, take-no-prisoners chef who had a pretty excellent resume and was a threat to mechanically mow down everyone in her way.

That was meant to be bullshit, not bullshi, which I'm sure someone will come up with a clever definition for.

Good article in the LA Times about Polanski. As big a Scocese fan as I am, I'm really disappointed in him and all the others who signed that bullshi letter decrying Polanski's treatment.

Yeah, I'm going to give it 1 or 2 more episodes; if there's no improvement after that, I'm giving up. It's such a good premise, but handled so clumsily that it frustrates me. And it's so goddamn repetitious; yes, the doctor lady saw herself with another man; we've seen that in every episode, we get it, we don't have…

The question was specifically about a 35 hour road trip across the country. Maybe the sing along stuff is fun for the first couple of hours, but before long you want some music you can cruise to, not something that's all ironic or only enjoyable when everyone is upbeat. You need something you can cruise to,…

It seems to me that Bravo (or Magical Elves, I suppose) decided to focus more on getting quality chefs this year, rather than on big personalities. It made for a less interesting start to the season because it was hard to get a sense of some of the chefs, but I think it's going to make for a great end of the seaon,…

Goldfish and Gold Shlager (however you spell that evil shit)
Marmots and Merlot
Shark and Chardonnay
Captain Crunch and Calvados
Ostrich and Asahi
Beef and Beef Eaters
Blonde on blonde Sapphos and Bombay Sapphire

"He generally like Stark do the meaner stuff, but when he did decided to get vicious under his own name, the man did not truckle."

I'm excited for Army of Shadows to be covered so questions about why Army of Shadows is being covered will go away.

"[B]ut then I just decided "screw it."

"Guys, don't sleep on this gouda."

Hmm. Should I watch these from the begninning, our can I jump in on Pusher 3 without having seen the others? This sounds really good.

I thought Juno was good. The first 10 minutes or so, when the hipster dialogue was laid on super thick, was hard to take, and Rainn Wilson's character should have been mowed down in a hail of gunfire, but after that I thought it was solid and the characters were nicely written.

I think Ash was truly embarrassed both that he gushed so voluminously about Mike V, then had to backtrack and talk about how he was good enough after he basically said he could paint by numbers real good.
