I don't know if he's going to exactly sell them the guns, being as they're technically Army property and the IRA is so short of cash they basically go door to door soliciting for "The Cause".  But judging how quickly the soldier took Nucky's dough, and Nucky's woeful dearth of  battle-hardened urban guerillas, I'm

That's not an isolated phenomenon at all.  A very good book on the subject of how many in the 60's counterculture who became born again evangelicals changed the Christian Right into the silly monster it is today is "Hippies of the Religious Right".  The author makes a good case in linking the nutty supernaturalism and

It must rankle Eric Roberts that he has to do movies like this to put food on the table. He better get crackin on that "Best of the Best" reboot before Jonah Hill opts out of playing the Chris Penn role.

I was going to download a torrent of this to see what all the fuss is about (just never seem to have the time nor inclination to read Rand's weighty tomes touted by my betters) but I decided it wasn't in my self-interest to sacrifice the bandwidth.

Terrorist Twat Tactics: Tuscaloosa Tango

I'd pay full ticket price to see a Hoover biopic written by James Ellroy.

Even cockroaches admire his survival skills.

Yeah, you make a valid point. Pusha T, unlike a lot of other guys, at least puts the work in on his rhymes but to me he's a tier below the mc's I really like.  Also, I've never liked the style of beats he uses now and on the Clipse albums.  It's hard to really try and appreciate an mc when you find his beats grating,

Sgt Fish: Special Victims Unit

I was scrolling through the list of nominees for these prestigious awards and up for nomination is a country group named Lady Antebellum.  I guess Queen Cotton and Madame Overseer were already taken.  Why am I so out of touch with the entertainments America is clamoring for?  I am  one of the People, where are my

Not my job, just bitching about a guy I find annoying and extremely overrated.

Oh he comes up with some clever punchlines and whatnot but his flow is lackluster, he sounds like every other tough guy country ass rapper, and I get sick of hearing 80 metaphors for crack selling in one verse.  Compared to a guy like say Gucci Mane, whose rhymes are nearly nonsensical, sure he's pretty good but he's

This clown has an original lyrical style?  He's just another guy selling Tony Montana fantasy with a boring delivery and lazy rhymes. Next.

This guy is a fucking herb like all the other hot rappers right now.  Lazy boring rhymes, vapid delivery, stunningly ignorant and viciously amoral lyrical content, and sloppy tone-deaf beats littered with cheesy sound effect presets and it gets a B?  When he says "hip hop bores me" its no wonder, i'd be bored as hell

Darmody and Harrow are the best characters, and best acted, on the show. In the first season he had a tendency to be mopey but he's really come into his own in this season.  A guy who's been through trench warfare and with a couple of cold blooded gangland murders under his belt isn't going to go all Eric Roberts when

True, although in 1921, many members of the Sinn Fein political party were also active in the IRA when Sinn Fein was still united against the British and not fighting against each other which happened a few later.

Not that I'm defending Mr. Ratner as a human being, his movies are all incompetently shot and staged and are exactly the kind of stolid mediocre crap America clamors for, but……so he said fag. So fucking what?  Just because you say fag or gay as a shorthand for corny or stupid or insipid, doesn't make you a raging

The guy definitely wasn't a black and tan. Those were mostly British WWI vets who were sent in to suppress the IRA insurgency, bastards all who most likely spoke something closer to the Queen's English and not in thick Irish brogues.

Best episode by far yet. Easily.  The sit-down with Lansky, Luciano, and Capone was great and I could have watched an hour of just that.  Owen Sleater finally revealing why he stayed behind in Atlantic City and, bar none, the best garroting scene ever. Sinn Fein was just as ruthless regarding traitors to the cause as

This is just another cynical Hollywood cash grab.  Giving Carmen Sandiego the freakishly bulbous buttocks of a has-been never-was diva they completely destroy the integrity of a franchise beloved the world over by grade school geography enthusiasts. For shame, Hollywood, for shame.
