and again, with the lack of an editing function, my posts are likewise confused.

I know that there are no such things as copy editors anymore, but the eye comes to a screeching halt when it comes across word that doesn't fit with the expected context, then the brain must stop and puzzle out just what's being intended. It interrupts the flow and pleasure of reading what is consistently a…

Nah, jbmd, there's a big diff between typos and grammatical mistakes. But I stand by my statement, no more panties will be bunched as a result of me.

yes, I know, it's "mea."

Yikes, me culpa as they'd say in Rome. You'll no longer hear a peep out of me if I'm too oblique.

Z, It's not "it's"
It's "its"

He wasn't hitting on her! Just having a little joke, like we all do, at our soulmate's funeral… I pulled the ol' "flask and a quickie in the backseat" at my Aunt Martha's funeral, my 8-year-old niece loved it!

Actually, the moralities of Hollywood celebrities and redneck backwoods inbred trash are pretty much exactly the same.

Hey, I did Farrah Fawcett('s interred corpse)!!!

ahem, there IS no such thing as "Alien canon," thank you.

It will have Apple logos all over it:

I've already adopted my own 32-year-old Romanian dwarf whore.

I'm still reeling from the Sasquatch episode.

POE

Honestly, I haven't seen Hurricane, but after a 40+ year career, I don't think Jewison should be indicted over one flop. He's handled racial, ethnic and cultural issues before, with Denzel Washington, no less. It's only Washington's performance that elevates X with his dynamic, eerily perfect depiction of Malcolm, not…

Malcolm X would have been much better had it remained in Norman Jewison's capable (and more talented) hands. It should never have been an issue of a Black Man's Gotta Make It. Jewison's got all the cred and more for that kind of an epic, socio-political biopic.

Shit, hasn't anyone seen She's Gotta Have It? Should be on anyone's list.

The part that most unsettled my white bleeding-heart liberal self is that it is Mookie who throws the trash can, the one character with the most empathetic, live-and-let-live attitude, and not one of the radicals or a nameless mobster. That one point still has me conflicted - which only attests to the movie's power…

Wow, no love yet for She's Gotta Have It? I'll throw it out there then.

To my ear "off of" is a verbal quirk that might be half-noticed when heard in speech, but is glaringly obvious when seen in print. Seems like most of these insta-blogs must be by necessity one verbal ramble put into print, with all the "off of"s, "could've"s and "that being said"s left verbatim.
