There's no question that Netflix's streaming service is worth eight bucks a month, but I think everyone who loves and recommends it (as I do) feels sort of weird about it. As with the commenter above, 90% of the movies I seek out are unavailable to watch instantly, so I wind up settling on something I might not have…

Cool
I heard about this on NPR (fuck, I hate saying that), and it sounded great; I'll definitely pick it up.

Here's my take on it: Douglas's character is such an asshole, if there's a mistake and he dies, so be it. If he survives, let's say we just taught him how to live fully or something.

It's always seemed crazy to me that the protesters focused on a sex scene that is imaginary even in the context of the film, but they didn't say much about the film's depiction of Jesus coming up with the idea of his own martyrdom and imploring Judas to turn him over to the Romans, while Judas championed Jesus as the…

I think I'd only see this movie if Fischer and Applegate fucked each other while keeping their husbands distracted with their "hall pass."

I think most unhappily married people stay that way because it's simply too much trouble to get divorced, and they'd prefer to tough it out until they're too elderly to care much about personal happiness and/or sex. Then it's easier to resign themselves to their situation and pay lip service to having been married 30…

I didn't try pot until I was in my early 20s, and I haven't tried any other drugs. Smoking doesn't do much for me, and the high from eating something with pot butter just makes me feel queasy, although there's a thin line between eating something that's completely ineffectual and eating too much and getting too high.

I love that this was just a few years after Hollywood doctors used LSD in a therapeutic way.

"Where is Bucky, and what has he had???"

The "momma after momma" line made me laugh. That's all.

I'll give that a shot. Right now, my upper-body workout mainly consists of shampooing.

Brimley is badass in The Thing too, but perhaps that was before the diabeetus.

What about Scott Tobias?
I mean, look at those badass guns he's sporting.

I always thought the verb form for collective nouns had to do with British/American grammatical customs. Brits use the plural, even when it's not a collective noun that is a proper noun (e.g., "The team/group/family are/were"), whereas Americans use the singular unless the proper noun is explicitly plural (The…

At the very least, no one should complain about an award show exposing good music to people who might not have discovered it otherwise. I don't count myself as much of an Arcade Fire fan, but I bought Funeral when it came out because I thought it had a cool album cover, so I don't think that gives me much more…

I'm not exactly the only person among these comments spilling "detail after detail" of his/her personal life, and I wouldn't have done so if I didn't think it was relevant to what dozens of other people have been discussing here. I used some personal experience to make a general point — again, from what I thought was…

I watched Greenberg the other night, because I was feeling shitty and thought I might feel better to see someone more hopelessly fucked up than I am.

DPA: Things are rarely black and white, and what complicates matters is that I have some qualities that might make me better suited for a multi-partner relationship than my wife, although I'm not as inclined to want one. For instance, I've never gotten especially jealous if someone I was involved with dated other…
