Classic O'Neal.

So then it's a matter of sensibilities. I would tell you not to get worked up about it, especially if that's how Chinese humor works. The whole joke on Kimmel was basically "Hey, little kids are both cute and psychotic. Isn't it a good thing that they don't run the world?" I can totally understand how that would

"You wouldn't say that about black people," isn't always the best test of offensiveness. It completely ignores context of the groups being discussed. Given the history of black people in America, a little extra consideration is probably warranted, hmm?

Those are…strangely specific examples.

Good fucking riddance. Blockbuster, all on its own, killed the mom and pop video stores. Those places were soooooo much cooler than BB. Sure, if you wanted the latest hits, blockbuster always had ten extra copies. But if you wanted to see the unedited version of Showgirls, or something actually interesting, go

All genres are basically marketing terms.

I think that you're very right that the 90's were more about hip hop than grunge. I think that electronic music was also hugely important in the 90's, especially in terms of influence, although that was happening more on the fringe.

They may have been hinting at similar themes this episode regarding light and dark versus good and evil. The fact that the external environment seems so reflective of Korra's emotional state seems like a way of saying something like "it's all about how you look at it." I do have a feeling that we're going to find

What in god's name is "independent television" other than an oxymoron?

It seems possible to me that Unalaq might be being deceived, or at least believe that he's doing the right thing for some reason. I don't think we know exactly what he wants, yet.

Reminds me of the tale of the prodigal son. Also, Tenzin might be justified in being careful that he won't just drive her right back out the door.

It would totally be worth it if I could get giant robot hands to hold all that blood.

Based on the title of this article, I assumed I had been asking a question about whether Beck is releasing a record this year, and just forgot I had done so. Still not sure.

It was easily among the best novels I read in the last few years. A great story with great characters and great prose…you can't go wrong.

I agree with the thrust of what you're saying, but I think this episode was a step in the right direction. Also, I felt that Last Airbender really started to come into its own towards the end of the second season. We're not quite there yet with Korra, and I'm willing to give them some time; after all, they

That's pretty much right about Fringe.  The first season was very episodic and incoherent, and the latter episodes ended up forcing a lot of the plot and drama.  But it flowed very nicely during the middle of its run.  So far, I find Sleepy Hollow to be a bit more delightfully campy out of the gate in a way that

I can't recall most of them by title, but I do remember enough to agree completely with your top three.

It's Mousecop!

"Meth Damon"…if that's not already a widely recognized nickname for Todd, I hope it catches on.

Todd always struck me as more of pragmatic psychopath than a true sadist.
