I've seen every episode, and I don't recall a single one where they actually arrest any of the main antagonists. Pretty much every episode ends in a gunfight or the bad guy gets away. I suppose that sort of adds to the sense of futility they often seem to depict.

That's a little subjective, but while that may be what she meant, she certainly could have written it that way easily enough.

At the risk of being overly pedantic, Paul Reubens created Pee Wee Herman in the late 1970s. So unless this was shelved for several years before it originally aired, it's not "pre-Pee-Wee."

Yeah, I think it would be unfair to assume that his involvement will somehow make True Detective little more than dumb (but fun) action. Lin has shown he's a capable director. I haven't seen any of the Fast & Furious movies, but from what I hear, they are far better (or at least, more enjoyable) than one would…

He also directed Better Luck Tomorrow, which was excellent.

Mike Patton is a good example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. He's a musical genius, but looks like a loan shark.

That's a strange way to spell "The Proposition."

If lyrics are good, that's great, but to me the human voice is just another instrument making music. I just don't pay much attention to lyrics unless the music is bad. I like that Sigur Ros and Lisa Gerrard just use nonsensical made up words. If I want poetry, I'll read poetry. For all I know, half the songs I…

I actually got my mom to start watching Longmire. I recommended Justified to her, and she really liked it, so it seemed like Longmire was the next most obvious choice. She loved it. My dad couldn't have given less of a shit about it. He would prefer to watch Fox News, so fuck him.

It also seemed like it couldn't be all that expensive to make (despite how beautiful it often was), which should be a big advantage for it.

I assume this all occurs to the tune of some jaunty Django Reinhardt style jazz?

I am interested in seeing what rodeos local to Paris are like.

WHOA! Where's the spoiler alert? I have Europe's Strongest Man on my DVR, now I know how it ends. You've totally ruined the experience for me.

Blue is my favorite, but all three movies are so good, I can't argue with someone if they prefer Red or White. The score is probably what puts Blue on top for me.

There are a lot of good choices from 1994, I'd like to see a discussion of Heavenly Creatures, Exotica, Immortal Beloved, To Live, Shallow Grave, The River Wild, The Secret of Roan Inish, or The Madness of King George. I think they've already covered Satantango (and maybe a few of the others I previously mentioned). …

It might be more useful to aim that at your neighbors who help generate the data that goes into the statistics, rather than get insulted.

Seeding occurs while downloading, and is not limited to those with 100% of a file, so it seems like a pretty good indicator to me, or rather, at least not inconclusive.

When I lived in Iowa City, I had better high speed internet options than I currently have in Seattle. The rest of Iowa is mostly a wasteland, though, so I can see that.

Ronson started working on the film while Sievey was still alive, and discussed it with him. He had given his approval. From what I'm aware of Frank Sidebottom, it seems like he'd actually get a kick out of the fact that it's not really entirely about him.

Perfect! I'm sure you'll have a great time cooking together. I wouldn't put your kid on kitchen knife duties, but they can certainly help wash vegetables. In fact, they don't have to help with the cooking at all, but just spending time with you in the kitchen will almost certainly be rewarding.
