Black president, woman president: both presently real/conceivable.

If his aim is to keep the citizens of Metropolis "regular," that could arguably diminish criminal activity.

Well, you must have taken off the glasses.

Honestly I think along these same lines, the Rolling Stone Manson cover (June 1970) showed poor judgement, too, really.

Okay, but it's very clear that some nutbars / killers are motivated by a desire for fame.  (See examples, below.) Scoring the cover of a high-profile entertainment magazine is something they aspire to.   True, as you say, they may very well kill either way, but why give it to them?  Why provide further confirmation…

Fuck that magazine.

Agreed, the notion that the series has telegraphed a happy ending for Dexter isn't really supported by the fact that, here in episode 5 of 12, things appear to be calm.   That's like saying everything will end well for Tony Soprano because he's gathered with family for a quiet Christmas moment at the end of Season 6…

Understood.  I didn't want to rekindle discussion here, but thought someone might point me to where it was hashed out.  Presently I'm at Wha Happened? level of ignorance, but maybe I'll just google. ETA: sorry, never mind — I found a couple relevant threads.

I blame it on Dennis Quaid's 1979 performance in Breaking Away, in which he invented abs.  It was the beginning of the end for average guys.

I will not listen to any story in which Donald Sutherland is not as noble as his majestic head would imply.

Did they?  Not sure about the others, but Natalie would.

I had dinner with Elliott Gould, we agreed American History X was a good picture, not a great one, and I said it could be a fine picture.  We laughed over it and nazi Edward Norton punched me in the mouth.

I used to work behind a cubicle wall from a Pakistani and an Indian man, both engineers.  More than once I heard the low utterance "Nuke Pak-ee-stan," in response to irritation, only without subsequent shared laughter.

Last Days of Left Eye  (VH1 Full Movie)

Nah, his personal hairdresser Larry Geller confirmed preparing him for burial and professed to be the last to touch his corpse.

And you gotta love these names for the normal sized-condoms. The Magnum… really, the Magnum?  When you roll it down, is there a little mustache drawn on there?  Your penis is gonna solve crimes, now?  "My little voice was telling me there was something curious about this moist crevice. Better get in there and…
