COME ON RICHARD HAMMOND! KICK THIS TRAMP TO DEATH!

I can't tell you how much I agree with this. Anyway, how's your sex life?

She has a fun laugh.

Related to yr first point: I've got a real bug up my butt about people who call things that are ostensibly low brow (reality shows or broad sitcoms or whatever) guilty pleasures. Or who claim to like them ironically. The implication is, 'I think I'm smarter than the demographic this show is aimed at.' Nah man, you

He was the lawyer.

Will there be a subplot about Lennon hiding under cars in order to slash people's Achilles tendon?

Even though I don't agree with what he says, I'm still fairly delighted by the way he managed to work the phrase 'emptyheaded liberals' into three straight comments. And then accuse someone of flapping their gums. I hope he sticks around.

As the family said in their statement, Wallace gave an interview for a magazine. (An extended interview, granted.) I think the feeling is is that Lipsky's kind of cashing in on the cottage-industry that DFW's become since his death. He's certainly not the only one to do it, but he's probably the most prominent.

I'll take that as a no, then. It's not a rape/no rape debate. He raped her. If the book depicts it differently, that's fine. Likewise, the fact that Graves enjoyed the technical aspects of filming the scene is also fine. What's not fine is that in interviews subsequent to the airing of the episode he called the sex

What was depicted on the screen was unambiguously rape. The director, in interviews, has called it consensual. Do you really not see why that's problematic?

Chris Pratt's physical comedy is amazing. That dive backwards after letting slip his neighbour is in witness protection.

Plus why wouldn't Obama do it? It's basically just a straight-up ad. Not that I have any problem with that - affordable health care's a good thing - but Zach's jokes aren't exactly pointed or cutting. (Oh, he made a pun on drone. How satirical!)

This strikes me as a curious feature. I am all for more books coverage on here but I wonder how much someone who hasn't read Russell would get out of a discussion of why she did x or y in story z if they haven't already read story z.

Did you guys know Black Lips and Black Keys were two different things? I didn't.

Man, Open City has been sitting on my to-be-read pile for ages. I gotta get on that. And this. His twitter game is super on point tho.

Pale Fire, fuck yes.

Ironic sexism: having your cake and eating it too.
