True story…I have a serious fear of anything sharp and pointy/jagged, of which swords definitely qualify. My friend who was staying with us at the time and knows all about my phobia is a fantasy fan and somehow acquired a non-dangerous (or so he says) metal sword. I was napping on the couch one day when he came in,…

Knowing nothing about the typical schedule of a NASCAR driver, I'm not really sure I understand that ad. Granted, I realize being a driver requires lots of weekends away from home, but aren't they home at least a few days during the week before they go to their next race? And aren't there at least a few months…

So I'm guessing you're not a fan of the "Peyton Manning sings random words to the Nationwide jingle" ad, then?

Not one, not two, but three of those "free" war games ran ads last night—and Clash of Clans was able to afford Liam Neeson! Just how much money are those games raking in?

I'm assuming that Doritos is still fan-sourcing their Super Bowl ads, which generally end up being much funnier than the much more expensive ad agency ads that run around it. While neither of this year's Doritos ads were as good as last year's (the kid lassoing his jerk older brother and the guy in the cardboard time…

Jeff Bridges turned into The Dude for real so gradually, I hardly noticed.

So McDonald's will give you a free Big Mac if you call your mom and tell her you love her? That's all well and good, but what if Mom is dead? Or you're estranged from her? Or if she is in the hospital fairly out of it because she's had pneumonia since New Year's and refused to go to the doctor until she pretty much…

I really don't want to see a movie where two people spend the entire movie arguing "the girl is mine".

That opening greatly pales in comparison to the star tunnel.

I actually wished they had gone for one more year. Granted, a devirginized Kevin would have been kind of weird (assuming he and Winnie did have sex in that barn), but I always felt like they should have ended with him graduating from high school. Today, they'd probably be able to get a 13-episode final season, but…

Huckabee's pretty ridiculous, to be sure, though I'm not sure if the guy blasting the most popular music star in the world for her PG-rated dance moves and songs about how awesome post-marital sex really should be feared.

Eventually, He had to relent and take Jerry Falwell. Pat will be rooming with him down below soon enough.

And Ernie Anderson's voice followed by the star tunnel at the beginning?

Hey, the guy wrote 5 of the most iconic music scores of all time in a 7-year period (Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T.). Even if he retired immediately after that, he still would deserve all the money.

As I recall from watching every episode of Partners that CBS aired (out of some misguided desire to support a network TV show with a gay lead character—the same reason I'm watching The McCarthys, but at least that show is halfway decent—but I digress), Routh was by far the most interesting character on the show. As I…

He also seems to torture Lois a lot, but that is alright, because Lois is only a woman…but Superman is a dick.

The guy who wrote an entire book claiming that Thomas Jefferson was actually, secretly, a right-wing Christian? Yeah, I don't think I'd fire that person, but said person would be off my Christmas card list.

What exactly is David Barton? I'm at work and am afraid to Google it.

While Schneider apparently can afford to to potentially lose his kids to preventable childhood diseases.

My opinion of the movie is that it's an incredible 135 minute film inexplicably stretched to 180 minutes. When the film is good, it's jaw-droppingly amazing, one of the best of 2005. But there is so much filler, it's ridiculous (including that opening, when seems to beat us over the head that it's taking place…
