Who?

Why's it gotta be a black FISH?  Was Melville their cetologist?

Nobody wants a Charlie in the box, or a Power Glove.  Although a Wii Glove could have some gameplay potential…

'Twas brillig, and the slipthy youngen…

Did not know this.  I was going to download "Ender's Game" to Audible on a recommendation from the Slate Gabfest…I think I won't now.

The first time I noticed Colin Farrell was his remarkably good performance as Bullseye in the amazingly shitty film "Daredevil".  He may have benefited from comparison to virtually everyone else in the cast, but his scenes were by far the easiest to watch.

I agree.  I saw it this weekend with my daughter.   I wouldn't call it inspired, but I did laugh out loud a couple of times, which is pretty good for a kids movie.

The hammer is my penis.

@PugsMalone:disqus Your mother is Terry Gross?

Buonanima James.  I was just thinking of you when I read "Where the Wild Things Are" to my daughter tonight.  You will be sorely missed.

Now we just have to get those second seasons of Firefly and Freaks and Geeks and we can die happy.  Can't we, Precious?  Yesssss.

Hey Todd, Great write up!

I looked him up on Wikipedia when I read the quote.  Seems a decent enough fellow.  What did one of us do to incite such hatred?

If by "Diminishing returns" you meant "people tend to skip this over because it is too damn long" then yes, the returns are diminishing…at least as far as I am concerned.

An incredibly funny and thoughtful man.  I highly recommend listening to Maron's interview with him if you haven't.

With the notable exceptions of:
The United States
Canada
Australia
Brazil

In German it actually sounds a lot more like "Coke" than "Cock", which would be spelled "Kach" if such a word existed

First of all…Author Fail….sigh.

I disagree.  Anyone who casually drops a reference to Joseph Conrad's mythology theory and ties it to Jung's collective unconsious in a conversation is definitely a nerd.  He may not be your kind of nerd, but a nerd he is nonetheless.

From the picture I assume the movie is about Adam Goldberg entrapping ACORN into giving him advice on how to break the law
