The best scene
was Herrick and Nina at the end, and that was lifted pretty close to word-for-word from a pretty famous sequence from Alan Moore's '80s comics series, Miracleman. I'm not sure how to feel about that, as it's a cookie for the nerdier fans (which I expect is a great many of us) and something that would…

I'd have to watch it again to be sure, but I wonder now if what George's dad was talking about at first was understanding why George had bailed out of his own life, as dad himself had just done the same thing, and had every reason to figure George knew it. Most people would, after all, assume that dad had faked his…

I seriously just read the review. I don't have strong opinions on Norm either way, who I vaguely remember from SNL, when I used to watch SNL. It was more watchable then, so that's something. Just reading the review makes this sound like the worst thing that ever happened, but someone told me that his actual delivery…

So…
…it's a racist routine that includes a description of how Norm MacDonald would kill a woman, and it ends with OJ jokes? Good…times?

Tim, speaking as one who knows, one day you will look back on the day of your life you wasted spamming a message board with endless, spittle-y comments about how much you hate someone who's totally successful in all the ways you wish you were but aren't, and you will cringe and wish for all that time back and they…

In all seriousness, is this a tax shelter situation or something?

I wish I could agree…
…with the idea that the Chad subplot was at all smart, but the woman who was the chick-on-that-show-with-Eliot-Spitzer to his Eliot Spitzer was as moronic as the worst most soul-extracting-est plot twist on V. I mean, this guy is her rival — why in the hell would someone with the ruthlessness to…

Of all the things that are wrong with the second half of the finale (the initial hour, I think, is really pretty okay), the decision to abandon technology bothers me the most, because it's just so fucking stupid. I like to imagine Lee Adama going off to heroically conquer the world as Leif Erikson only to get a…

I should say too that I'm really a lot less worried about Nina beating up her baby than I am Being Human's tender SFX budget being turned toward a scene of a baby actually turning into a werewolf, which could be awesome in its sheer ridiculousness, but may just be a bridge too far.

Yeah, no offense, Simon, but I'm kinda grossed out by the idea of Nina abusing her child as being the "right way" through this storyline. (Although I don't think it'll be an issue unless Being Human is on for several years yet — I don't foresee her like beating up *an infant.*) It's been a while since I saw it, but I…

Started with Cache, loved it. Hated Funny Games ('97) so much it retroactively made me hate Cache.

Look at the way Gus lives — notice anything missing? It's not clear, but I think that he's warning Walt about Skyler.

Both are available as ebooks and actually sound like something I wouldn't hate reading. More like this?

Much like "My Humps," it's one of those songs that's so FUCKING bad on every level that it would actually be a work of genius if it were meant as a parody of some sort.

(and also for Pamela Anderson)

I'm apparently the only person in the world who really liked Crossed, which I think is surprisingly good for Ennis, who to me stopped being interesting about half the way through Preacher. Millar is the nadir, agreed.

What's fucked up is that I think Ayn Rand's interpretation of Iron Man is pretty much dead on.

Yeah, my bad. I guess I just don't really see the point in calling him out on it in public. Seems kinda petty, when you're all famous and shit. Just send him an autographed photo of yourself swinging a baseball bat at a kitten. Dude will get the message.

Wow, Patton called out a high school kid. That's awesome. My hero.

Interesting to note, too, that Ellison's take on Fleisher was that he was nuts, but that he meant it in a GOOD way. TCJ, whatever, but Ellison clearly considered him a talent. If the guy's notorious, it's for starting a years-long legal battle that was based on someone more or less complimenting his work.
