Agree about Flynn as a writer. She writes fun, pulpy thrillers. Just because she throws in some gender politics from time to time a lot of people seem to see her work as something it's not. She's Thomas Harris, not Margaret Atwood.

I enjoyed the book (haven't seen the movie) but it's not a deep, profound character study. The characters (especially) Amy are much too cardboard for that.

Which is irrelevant since none of these two episodes takes place in the Arab world.

The notion that Pakistan or Afghanistan are part of the Arab world is what I take issue with.

80+ comments and no mention of RFK yet. THEY have clearly gotten to you.

And in news that nobody cares about: Tatortreiniger premiers the final three episodes of its' third season on the internet today (after last airing in January). Wooo!

Penn's radio show was amazing.

Shinsuke is a maineventer (or at worst co-maineventer). Ishii is an upper card guy. When I think of the NJPW undercard I think of large tag matches involving Toru Yano.

The best in-ring action is either New Japan or ROH, which are entertaining but not all that easy to see.

"I can't help but envy them for having a vaguely derogatory catch-all term to describe everyone who disagrees with you."

It's not really a phrase only used by libertarians. Bakunin was not exactly pro-capitalism.

"The human digestive system hasn't got used to dairy products yet."

Maher's not mildly libertarian. Aside from the drug war he's pure statist.

There were two Simpsons/Futurama crossovers: Futurama/Simpsons Infinitely Secret Crossover Crisis and The Simpsons/Futurama Crossover Crisis II. Both had two issues so there were four issues overall not two. But of course a casual like you wouldn't know that.

No women*

So Frank Miller is writing?

Too bad they never made a third one.

Kinski would have deserved that. As sane as the natives offer to kill Kinski during Fitzcarraldo.

But in Yiddish "Spiel" a play, performance or speech. More importantly either way Gentle Herpes is still wrong (and Berg is a mountain).

All photo and video evidence of the Holocaust was shot on a sound stage on the moon.
