Farrakhan is indeed horrible, but this article is worth reading for a perspective on why he still has appeal and influence.

They probably could have gotten Travolta to play him. Would have been his second time playing Clinton, though of course the first wasn’t officially him.

I think it’s that, like with Stewart at the end of his Daily Show run, he started believing that for a lot of people, he was their source of nightly or at least weekly news, so he feels the need to present the facts first and make jokes on top of the facts if the material allows for it. Oliver also picks some subjects…

Haha. I do like her music. I think there’s some really interesting stuff on Born to Die and Ultraviolence, but her last few albums, while still somewhat musically interesting, are what I regularly turned to when I wanted to take a nap on my train commute home (at least before last March).

My parents rented it when I was 6 or 7. The part where he’s dying and there’s big tents and stuff completely freaked me out. Anything involving death at that age I really did not like.

In the future segment of “Cloud Atlas,” all movies are called “Disneys” and yes, it’s a very dark time.

By far my favorite from ‘05!

The last Jedi I think has the most goosebumps or at least totally great moments of any Star Wars movie (Rose’s sister dropping the bombs, Leia saving herself, R2 playing Leia’s old message, Rey finding the force, Yoda’s scene, Kylo and Rey fighting together, Holdo’s sacrifice, Luke emerging from the cave to take on…

Exactly, Yoda’s fights should have been much more like the Dumbledor/Voldemort fight in Order of the Phoenix, not bouncy flubber with a laser sword.

hmmm... this place kind of tried, if you can call “The Golden Girls” representative of the 1980's.

Wow. After just watching through season 4, seeing that picture of Maebe is like seeing Tim Watley on Seinfeld after watching “Ozymandias.”

I just finished the series so I am catching up on these recaps. I am a lawyer, but not a criminal lawyer, nor do I really deal with questions about Federal court jurisdiction, so take this with a grain of salt. I think it is highly unlikely that they would have been tried in the United States. They should have been…

Arrested Development has the best John Munch crossover scene.

“Who’s gay?” “Haarvey Fierstein” “Noooo!”

I got a very Lloyd Bridges in Airplane! vibe. Doc picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!

Just to clarify, I don’t believe “The Big Short” involved any short sales of the type described here (shares bought on margin). I’m not a financial expert, but I believe the transactions in “The Big Short” were credit default swaps, which were basically set up like insurance policies. The shorters (any position where…

That should be “eat and breathes”, but you get the idea.

Or Madeline Kahn!
