I steadfastly refuse to believe that Adult Swim would have any part in broadcasting something so fatuous and sophomoric. Steadfastly.

that's a bit too harsh I think. Ever seen the Lone Wolf & Cub series??

The best thing about Criterion releases though are the supplementary materials on the dvds.  Plus I get Netflix Instant so I don't have to be inundated with obnoxious advertisements.  Advantage: Netflix.

The difference here is that in another 70 years people will still be reading Lovecraft, but nobody will give a toss about Card.

So it is Jay Ree-tard or Jay Reh-tard or Jay Ree-ah-tard?

Ip Man, 13 Assassins, District 13, and maybe Red Cliff are my favorites from the last few years.  Most of the stuff coming out of HK and China these days is ponderous overly nationalistic crap.  Definitely want to catch this though, Chow Yun Fat looks to be in fine fettle in it and it looks like a blast.

The hyper pace of technology has turned us into a nation of impatient whiners.  10 years ago people would have been drooling for something with a fraction of what you get streaming today.  Now nobody will be happy until every movie, album, book, game, and porno ever made is available on their tv, laptop, ipad, phone,

One quirky show with a wizened Stevie Van Zandt does not a successful content provider make.  It'll be a sad day when Netflix Instant finally goes all the way down the shitter.  I guess I'll have to renew that library card because I'm not going to pay exorbitant fees to watch the same mindless shit I'm watching now

An impressive array of hirsute chins.

The television screen is the retina of the mind's eye. Therefore, the
television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain.
Therefore, whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw

It's good to see that payola is alive and well in the internet age.

How many times do they have to show the poor man showing his ass for baby reasons?  Many many time.  Each time with fresh deck. 

In the interests of bi-partisanship, I propose legislation that would criminalize any sexual act perpetrated by gross unsightly people of all orientations and girths. 

Somebody's ESL (Engrish as a Second Language) classes are really paying dividends. for dollars.

Unfortunately no.  However, it is fully front-compatible with games not yet made.  Truly a huge leap forward for handheld gaming.

white is beautiful.

Lillehammer - my kind of town.  Also, when they play poker in Norway cheese is conspicuously absent.

I've had a gun pointed at me in a liquor store holdup, close enough to where I could make out the bullets in the revolver's chambers.  You actually FEEL that sinking sensation in your gut.  Its not kind of bullshit, its total utter bullshit. Of course, heroic badassery is par for the course in storytelling, just ask
