Final Fantasy XII is also my favorite of the series (yeah! high-five!) and the only reason I haven't played it more is because the tutorial lasts like 10 hours. Ugh.

Hey, why does the Statue of Liberty look orange? …What do you mean it's always looked like that?!

Good call on Norton. I realized after Moonrise Kingdom that I hate Edward Norton when he's playing Serious Acting Roles (the worst of which was that terrible movie where he pretended to be retarded), but I love him when he's playing more lighthearted. He was also great in Death to Smoochy.

All the movies he discusses as good Spacey flicks were pre-American Beauty, a film that is now 15 years old. Yes, it is assumed that people can openly discuss the plots of films after giving the world a decade or two to catch up.

The Ref, my personal favorite Kevin Spacey film! I watch it every year around Christmas. Both he and Davis do wonderful jobs portraying characters with well-calcified masks that they desperately want to let slip.

Wait, are Canadians the illegals everybody's up in arms about? …Is somebody going to tell all those guys pointing guns at the Mexican border?

Carrot Top?

I loved it for one season and then BAM! Crap! That show had the steepest decline I think I've ever seen. It got so bad the first, good, season became worse in retrospect. Still, it was a perfectly good formula that was hamstrung by terrible, terrible writing.

Can't argue with you there, Dooshbaghe. I'm just saying that if it were all about the sideboob, Amy Adams would have been in every frame, maybe even a picture-in-picture in the corner.

Didn't help Amy Adams in American Hustle!

Maybe, although 9 of the 10 best actor nominees are white. So I'm guessing the ratio is even worse there.

Best actor nods are already distributed evenly by sex. Five men and five women are nominated every year, even if 90% of total screen time is dominated by men. MISANDRY!

A+ username/comment synergy!

Well, I Googled it. Even for 1969, that outfit deserved to be tried and executed at the Hague. And Rachel's looks like the K-mart knockoff.

I clicked just to get a better look at Naya Rivera's dress. But WHAT the FUCK is Rachel wearing? She looks like a one-woman revival of Sister Act (playing both the nuns and the lounge singer at the same time).

Yeah, I've done that too. I described Antonia's Line as "a chick flick" to my aunt, who I believe didn't take me up on it (thank all the gods). It's a great film, but in addition to the characters being casually nude all the time, there's a scene where six people climax simultaneously. Chick flicks, amirite!

They're probably just waiting for the Drudge sirens to tell them where to go.

Did you just Godwin yourself? I get that it's fun being an oppressed minority sometimes (especially if the only oppression you have to suffer is people disagreeing with your opinion), but maybe wait to bring out the big guns? You kinda blew your whole rhetorical load prematurely, is all.

…And give him head whenever he wants….

Carter Burwell's work with the Coens is absolutely incredible, but most of it is disqualified from the Oscars because it's based on existing songs. Of course, that's a big part of what makes his compositions so perfect for their films, especially the ones with a very particular sense of time and place.
