I'm currently reading the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson and it is fantastic. Isaacson does a great job about understanding each person and never loses you in the jargon or the politics. I want to read his Benjamin Franklin and Einstein books now.

I'm finishing up The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness which is so damning and so brilliantly articulated.

Very excited for 2 Dope Queens to finally be online. Just downloaded the first two episodes.

Hmmm. I don't see a link. I guess this is where I will be left early and freely.

It's so strange what gets headlines and what doesn't. A couple of weeks ago Dan Harmon said on his podcast that Werner Herzog will play a character on Rick and Morty and even told an amazing story about Herzog trying to understand the absurd character. Either way, more Herzog on American TV.

This was a very startling episode when I first watched it. When I saw Season One, I had no idea about the greater mythology of the show and had never even heard of a Dalek. I just figured they were the monster of the week until Christopher Eccleston lost his shit. When he started screaming and started hating this lone…

Oh it's very human. (And Time Lord apparently) It's just when you have a show that is still a family show, it's a bold move to have the season arc be "What makes your hero decide it's time to kill himself?" For even though it's a murder, The Doctor is allowing himself to be murdered. By HBO standards that may not be…

SPOILERS FOR SEASON SIX: Hmmm. I found that willingness to greet death to be very dark. To me the real arc of Season Six isn't "Who killed The Doctor?" or "How is he going to get out of it?", it was "What pushes The Doctor so much that he decides to return to Lake Silenco to die?" The season is about him failing in so…

Him continuing the pub crawl was a pathetic enabling system that the blanks preyed upon. Him drinking the last pint would have him recognize that his sad quest was more important than any other theme the film wanted to present. I'm thrilled the film didn't let him have that drink.

Or the fact that Oscar winner Dianne Wiest says the immortal line, "If this boy can have leaves on his ankles, then we can make a pencil out of leaves!"

Green Wing was on Netflix Instant but sadly just left a few days ago. Yet the whole series is still available on regular Hulu. Also Broadchurch is going to play on BBC America in August.

I thought it was a really tight movie until the end. It really should have ended with the war ending, but they had to have the couple of extra scenes to capture the assassination. The way they filmed that was well done—aside from the questionable scream from the son—but I don't think that was really part of the story.

I would love to see regular coverage of this.

I saw him in the hallways, but never heard any lightsaber sounds or people demanding interviews. My math teacher is the biggest Star Wars geek I've ever met and when Jake was in his class even he refrained from making a single joke. Again, this is from a guy who said "May the force be with you" before every test.

I went to public high school with him. I remember that he started some sort of filmmaking club that seemed awkward. I can't find anyone that actually attended it.

Small Detail
I think the line was "I will, of course, reimburse you for the damage to your vehicleS."

Does this mean that Richard Belzer has played Detective Munch on yet another television show? What is the total now?

I'm with you. I kinda wish it was covered by the TV Club. This sounds remarkable/bizarre.
