Years ago, I taught acting to children ages 7-14 as part of a film camp. On the last day of camp, Roger Ebert came to talk to the kids and watch the films they had made. When I tell people this, they find it hard to believe an internationally renowned critic and writer would have taken time out of his day to encourage…

As a young teen I wrote to Roger Ebert, distraught over the lack of opportunity and diversity of films choices offered in my rural (Northern California) neck of the woods and he wrote back a short but encouraging reply explaining I had a big wide world ahead of me, not to despair, suggesting I should keep a list and…
I adored his review of Grave's remake, where he points out that the inherent misogyny isn't in the rape scenes themselves, but in the fact that the rapes are filmed very straight ahead, documentary style realistic, whereas the woman's revenge is all heightened fantasy revenge/torture porn style. It's to reassure the…
Are you sure you weren't trying to say "Norm!"?
That is fantastic.
In a related Cheers "name" story, my parents found my first name while watching cheers. Thanks Kelsey Grammer!
Best story ever.
Golden Girls and anyone who says otherwise punches baby otters in their spare time.
I figured he probably also referenced their breakup in his stand-up. Because I'm the nicest person on earth, I'm going to be really charitable and say that for these entertainers, public comments on personal issues is probably part of their lives and art. It certainly makes them money. Although the twitter rant loses…
HELL NO. If I had an ex-husband who left me for a model and then said, in public, "I wish Emma nothing but the best and hope that she can find happiness like I did," I would murder him.
What on Earth makes you think that the CIA - the same group that tortured and has protected torturers - was interested in contributing to an accurate reflection of post 9/11 interrogation practices? The fact that the CIA was so heavily involved with ZDT is more supportive of the claim that ZDT is propaganda, not the…
Yes, I do think Bigelow had an agenda...being an apologist for torture. Were that not the case she would not have won the cooperation of the same government that's responsible for doing the torturing and protecting the torturers.
So is he Future II or Future, Jr.? When they're out at a party, can they be all like, guys, we gotta go, we gotta get back to the Future II?
Let's just say I've had a LOT of "10"s. But then, I had a lot of everybody ;o)
...while you being served dick on a silver platter. I've been there too. Oh, and the dick was Grade A, not pity dick either.
I've been that girl. Dudes want an open relationship because they think they will be instantaneously drowning in mad supermodel pussy, but it never happens that way.
Kimye is in Paris and they go to Haagen Daz? Psh, give me a break. Berthillon, anyone?
@spikespeigel - Having worked in the education system for almost 20 years now, let me tell you a little secret. You get what you expect from your students. If you enter the classroom with the expectations that you are working with "devious people" they will live up to your low expectations. High school kids get a bad…
you are the deterioration of public schools.
So you hate high school students and you hate the school system in which you teach. I agree with apeshapedmanreturns, it sounds like you finding a different line of work might be in everyone's best interest.
