Ah, twilight, which exists solely to make us long for the intellectual heft of Anne Rice.

John Mayer is pretty and he plays guitar and he's in the public eye. Believe me, he can be ten times more of douche than he is here and he could still pull in ten times the pussy of anyone commenting on this board.

Felonious, I don't think it's fair to say that Jay Leno is responsible for Conan O'Brien's staff. NBC is. NBC is responsible for this whole mess.

Some actors can't rise above the material—give them bad dialogue, you get a bad performance, give them good dialogue, you get gold. Roy Scheider was one such actor. Sigourney Weaver is another.

I DO think it was poorly written, etc.

I have no problem with the politics of Avatar. The mystical bullshit is a bit much but I can't take issue with its anti-corporate, anti-imperialist, anti-genocide, pro-environmental message. I just don't think it was poorly written, poorly acted and over long. Just because it's propaganda I can agree with doesn't…

See Avatar in 3D or don't see it at all—not in a 2D theater and definitely not on DVD. All it has going for it is the new tech and the breathtaking quality of the VFX. The script is terrible and the running time is easily an hour too long.

"Bear City" was fantastic! The one where the mother bear catches the kid bear masturbating to a dirty movie was comedy gold.

I read that too—in The New Yorker, I think. Though I prefer to think she was discovered when the director, fresh from a traumatic regeneration, enlisted her help to fight the Autons.

It's not the sun up in the sky but the son of God. Lieutenant Uhura told us that.

Astonishing—there's no fucking mystery, people
It was a mistake—a premature, stupid mistake—to give Conan the Tonight Show when Leno was still winning the time slot. As it is—as opposed to how we might wish it to be—Leno's Tonight Show pulled in much better ratings than Conan's.

Demonizing weed probably sends a lot of kids onto the hard stuff
They get high, find out it's no big deal and then figure "They've probably been lying to me about coke and heroin, too." Hence it becomes a gateway drug in a way that the far more dangerous drug of alcohol does not.

It's called incest! It's great!
And it's so easy to make!

Because suggesting that Billy Ray Cyrus has an incestuous relationship with the daughter he's pimping is pretty much the one joke the shows have for her.

St. God, I have the same emotional response and I can't, for the life of me, figure out why.

It's like me and gene rayburn are friends.

Robuts* is a beautiful thing!

$300? Do you really have to ask?

Re: The Ice Truck Killer
I think Dexter is worried because, in the mythology of this show, any child who witnesses a horrifying, bloody tableau at an early age will grow up to be a killer.

I'll miss Rita
She was sweet and, overall, very patient with Dexter. She only seemed like a nag because she thought she was married to a man, not a monster, as Dexter would put it.
