People marrying dogs will be the leash of our worries.

I don't know where to put this. Scott Tobias of AV Club fame gets referenced in a Slate piece… till the juice runs down his leg:

1st paragraph: Writing about the transition from celluloid to digital filmmaking tends to take an elegiac tone. “Cinema as we know it is dead,” wrote Matt Zoller…

Edited to clarify, I read through the comments and then arrived at the last one, yours, about 2 hours after you left it. Your comment resonated with me, well the first part. It inspired this metaphor for me, the original post:

Through a Glass Die Hardly

Holy crap, the Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley: The Complete Series was released on dvd a few short weeks ago.

That first inset quotation is golden in its awfulness. 

Anyone remember The Jagged Edge from the mid 80s? I remember really liking that movie at the time. When the plastic gloved hand bearing the jagged edged knife broke through the window adjacent to the front door, I gasped. Fun thriller. 

Another densely packed, illuminating review, Tasha. I don't think a word was wasted in there. You're on fire! Thanks for this pleasure of critical prose. 

It's foremost from sociology and bandied about in neighboring disciplines. It got a lot of attention in the 80s, the micro-macro link stuff, but it remains a black box concept for the most part. A large portion of sociology is about explaining away agency, ya know, but the discipline needs it as a residual category…

Excellent review. Enjoyed reading it. Haven't nor will I in all likelihood see this film, but the review was a pleasure. 

The Secret History's entirely readable and odds are you'll finish it if you manage to get 30ish pages in. 

Several long flights lately, which put airport detective genre books in my hands. I always look forward to a good excuse to pick up a Matthew Scudder, Elvis Cole, or that dude in the Connolly series, The Poet and all that, a book with that detective in it. I like stories set in LA and NY for various reasons. So…

Spaetzle and potato salad and pierogies?! Oh my. Some serious carbs there.

and the galaxy of those inner worlds exists in a single cell on your fingernail.

Grunge. I skipped it; quit on music for a while. Nirvana, right?

Hosers. They're all a bunch of hosers, eh.

Yes, they were not in the opening credits when the show first started. Of course, I misremember things all the time. But I watched the 3 seasons again recently through the comedy central website and that wonderful intro didn't appear until well into the series.

I'm inclined to agree with MMcN on this, that nbc would have snapped it up if it had been in "better shape." But something is nagging me about the fact that nbc already had two other sitcoms headed by comedic actresses, and I wonder if adding a third gave them sexist pause. Or does such an idea make me sound…
