I tried reading Campaign Trail, but I'm 20, and although I know a lot more about political history than most kids my age, it was just too dated to really enjoy. Hells Angels however is just great and actually very relevant to any subculture.

It passes the Bechdel test many, many times over, trust me.

No one would like Pete in any office, but it's actually kind of tragic because he works in the ONE business where you really, really have to get people to like you. His arc in season five is so good (and Station 30 might be the best episode ever.)

And it gives the episode where Joan makes a big decision a boost of poignancy.

the shot of pete and don looking visibly uncomfortable as roger caterwauls is excellent.

I'm 20, but I'm living alone, and a ton of my friends just got girlfriends/boyfriends. I got dumped six months ago, and I'm not great at the casual dating thing (though I try). I'm lonely and depressed, so I absolutely loved this episode-here's hoping for only 45 days til I at least meet someone I can care about.

i figure the joke about archer being codenamed duchess was thought of as a little one note at a certain point. the second flashback where you see duchess growl at little boy archer was hilarious. 

The climax of the Dark Knight is fucking sad (and terrifying on a human level). Its three men who have been broken by their attempt to save their city and have lost everything, one of whom is too far gone to even save himself. And Eckhart carries it-so I really hope he's just slumming it in this one movie.

Wait, that doesn't make sense. Geoffrey talks to him in the finale, right? (Or can Geoffrey talk to ALL GHOSTS. spin off anyone?)

Was he in any good in it? It was supposed to be a cool movie, but I just can't imagine Gerard "More shit movies than Ed Wood" Butler delivering Shakespeare.

Finding Forrester is pretty underrated-the opening sequence is a nice set-up to the world of the movie. But Idaho and Drugstore Cowboy are still his best movies (although Milk is great as well, for a supposedly mainstream movie it has the intimacy of his early stuff).

Speaking of In The Line of Fire in the headline, that's a good movie and should be watched instead of this turd.

SPOILERS the prison scene with Sanjay is the funniest scene of the show for me. He's still totally, totally confident in his abilities even in prison, and I lost it when he tells Richard hes "going to have to drop the account."

Now that Brian has nothing to lose, he functions beautifully as the last vestige of Henry's willingness to TRY as an actor: Brian is disrespectful to Geoffrey at first, sure, but once he has a little humility, he respects Geoffrey's creativity, recognizes his gift, and doesn't put up with Henry's bullshit. I wouldn't

I just listened through for the first time (it's very, very good) and it does seem like the main theme of the album is newlywed love-the emotions aren't too complex and neither is the relationship depicted. It's very simple but (I think) very sincere.

I don't think it's the best thing Timberlake's ever made (that'd be "Cry Me A River", most likely). But it's fun, it's spring music, it has Jay-Z (who is so bad that I like to pretend his voice isn't on it and just listen to JT cooing over atmospheric funk on the bridge, which is great), and it SOUNDS like a comeback

I normally like Wilson (he was ridiculously sad in Hesher, which is a strange, strange movie), but he was the only part of Juno I really didn't like.

I kinda wish DC had the balls to kill all of Batman's partners/ex partners except maybe, like, one. Loner Batman is just better, I'm sorry.

I give the movie credit for pointing out that America basically fucked up Iran, but then it got weirdly patriotic and gooey in the third act, to the point of having a fucking American flag waving when Affleck makes out with his wife. If Affleck really wanted a tone like All The Presiden'ts Men, it should've been more
