"Best Gut-Wrenching Performance"  Man, Drive was robbed.

Yes, because pointing out internalized misogyny and hypocrisy is exactly the same as making it legal to pay women less than men.

Outside Drag Race and Robert Verdi, Logo has always had terrible original programming, a lot of which plays really heavily to gay men into clubbing and not necessarily to anyone else.  The stuff that doesn't is either horrendously bad or undermarketed.  Even RuPaul's Drag Race and The Robert Verdi Show Starring Robert…

Crossing my fingers for the A.V. Club, Dylan Meconis, and Locke & Key.  Some pretty cool nominations all around this year.

Speaking of awards, congrats to the AVClub for getting nominated for an Eisner.

I think they put Latrice in the bottom two just for the opportunity to show her off, honestly.  I could have as easily seen Sharon in the bottom two this week—and she very nearly was—but that wasn't a Sharon song, so they didn't pick her.  After all, the idea that anyone could knock Latrice out on an Aretha Franklin…

I think my ideal tattoo right now would be the line "Fool," said my Muse to me, "Look in thy heart and write." from the first Astrophel and Stella sonnet, but it's been a few centuries since that was pop culture.

I learned "paterfamilias" from O Brother, Where Art Thou.

Can't we just have an Animorphs movie instead?

Strangers on a Train is worth a watch for every scene Robert Walker is in.  If you're going to have an evil effete man, he's incredibly effective, and his voice sounds weirdly similar to Bill Murray's.

"Apple" is actually a reasonably common name in the Philippines, I hear.

First thing I thought of were If These Walls Could Talk and If These Walls Could Talk 2.  Each one is a triptych of stories about women living in a house in different generations; the first movie deals with abortion and the second, with lesbianism.  The house is treated more as a setting than a possession, I guess,…

The show would've been more successful if they'd dedicated it to Marcus.

Write-in campaign for Carole King!  I did "I Feel the Earth Move."

At about the same level as giving Rosalind Russell the role of Mama Rose in the film adaptation of Gypsy, I'd think.

I was really hoping for Slings & Arrows.  Maybe next time.

Funny—that's one of the few episodes I've just never been able to force myself through.  I might have to set my utter boredom with later-seasons Jake aside and try it again.

At the moment, I'd say DS9's episode "In the Pale Moonlight."  It's not my favourite episode (that's actually "Far Beyond the Stars"), but "In the Pale Moonlight" typifies everything that's different about DS9 and makes it clear just why it works so well in the show's context.

I'd add Hope Larson's work to your list, though I suppose she's more graphic novel than comic book.  Chiggers was an enjoyable little story, either way, and I've always meant to read more of her stuff.

Patrick Stewart's Ebeneezer Scrooge is great.  It's the first serious adaptation (as opposed to a sitcom parody) that I ever saw, and for that alone, I think it'll always be my definitive version.
