Yes.  It kind of disturbs me.  It looks like something concocted by an ancient ruler who decided that having animals hopping over things was too boring and he needed to mix it up.

One word for you - Superbowl.  Millions of people who don't pay much attention to football all year gather around the television and watch the game.  Somehow this happens year after year without our having endless personal story vignettes with soaring music about what Eli Manning has for breakfast or his very special…

Last night was the worst coverage yet.  The random "there are some Russians who might steal your gold" montage felt like I was watching a trailer for Rocky IV.  For all that talking about gymnastic scores, we rarely got to see cumulative scoring, so unless you had a pen and calculator, it was impossible to keep up…

I find it hilarious that folks say that the "genetics" make it "impossible" that a black woman is Louie's wife.  Clearly, they haven't spent enough time with folks who are biracial.

Well, the movie has made over $90 million on a budget that was less than a third of that…. It was kind of inevitable.

I played hooky from work to see the Hunger Games at 11 am on a Wednesday - thinking I was avoiding the kids.  Unfortunately, I wasn't the only one blowing things off to go to the movies.  I was faced with a literal busload of middle schoolers - with teachers - who had decided to make a field trip of going to see the…

ITA.  With regard to character development, this episode very squarely addresses the "if Selina is so damn bumbling, how the heck did she get this far?!?" issue.  Because, when Selina puts her mind to it, she is a pol in the backroom brawler, street fighter kind of way (and I mean that as a compliment).  By the end,…

Clearly, somebody is having a crappy holiday weekend and has chosen to take it out on Game of Thrones.

This grade is generous.  The more I look back on this episode (not to mention the weak season), the more it gets on my nerves. First, what happened to the whole "Robin is going to get in between Barney" bit we heard about earlier?!?  It never was referenced, by word or deed, again.  Then, Ted's whole, I know what it…

To make up for it, next week probably will look like Emanuelle in Westeros.

Yup.  I thought a great point also was made about people's tendency to look at folks as those who victimize or those who are victims and the unwillingness to see them as both (a criticism also lobbied at Bully for not really taking a look at why the kids might be bullies in the first place).  Butters was the poster…

I prefer the creepiness of the show, as it doesn't have her grabbing at her own brother.  Also, I think the look of pleasure on her face was for the horror that would befall Theon when he figured out it was his own sister and her enjoyment in knowing that Theon was just that clueless.
