I doubt it. This is a criminal and not a civil case and, from their statements, I think both sides would be disinclined to work out a plea bargain.

…or at all. If I didn't abhor violence, I would suggest we'd start an online petition.

Maybe he thought that Fisher was being gravelly enough for both of them.

For the record, Fatty Arbuckle was never convicted except in the court of public opinion. He was tried three times and finally acquitted after the third trial. After the third trial, the jury took the unusual step of reading an apology to Arbuckle as to their belief he was innocent.

There is also the matter that, unlike Roman Polanski and Woody Allen, Bill Cosby has set himself up as a moral scold. From what I understand, one big thing that reopened this case in the public eye was a comedian telling Cosby that he was in no moral position to tell young black men to pull their pants up and how to…

Of course she had to lose weight. Doesn't she know that being svelte is a job requirement for a rebel general?

I grew up during Watergate. When it ended, I thought good always triumphs over evil. Now I think good triumphs over evil only when evil is stupid enough to tape itself being evil.

I heard that IBM originally had Pete Townsend for the commercial, but he wound up smashing Watson with his guitar.

I love the ending for SNOOPY VS ISIS when Snoopy makes them realize that it's a lot safer (and more fun) to fight an imaginary war than to fight a real war over an imaginary deity.

Wait, Steve Jobs' widow wants the only portrayal of her husband on record to be that of Ashton Kutcher?

I'm looking forward to the movie version of the lawsuit: "Asshole Vs. Asshole."

I always go back to the end of episode 10. Henry is clearly in pain, but Saperstein makes him go up and sing even though everyone is gone. At first, when I saw Saperstein smiling at him, I read it as him thinking that, although Henry is in pain, it is the pain that comes with emotional growth.

I don't share your feeling, but I certainly understand it and sympathize with the sentiment. To me, the creepiest aspect of the movie is not the violence. It is that it challenges a belief that I and I believe most people are brought up with. I think we're all raised to think that people are born with an innate…

I think Freddy regretted being unsportsmanlike not on moral, but on practical grounds. To me, it was the factor that made him lose the race. Also, Henry didn't start to fight dirty until Freddy lowered the bar (unless you count the part where Henry tries to psych Freddy out by trying to get to his head through his…

Thank you. To clarify, I don't think the too long/too soon played a role in the cancellation. That can be placed at the feet of the people at ABC who put this special show on the air and then showed no faith in it by not giving it the time to develop an audience. I was speaking in more general terms about the…

The more I consider it, I think the last scenes in episode 13 were meant as a logical follow-up to the events in the episode. Both Henry and Eliza confront their high school fears (skateboarding and standing up to the popular girl respectively) and it ends with them living their school dreams. Eliza has the cutest…

Another example I had nearly forgotten about from 1981 is that Dylan originally relegated "The Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar" to the B-Side of a single. It wound up getting so much radio play it was added to later pressings of "Shot of Love."

The thing I thought about Dylan in the 1980s is that, while he still wrote great songs, his editorial sense went right out the window. Who the heck leaves "Blind Willie McTell" and "Someone's Got a Hold of My Heart" off an album in favor of clearly lesser tracks like "Union Sundown" and "Neighborhood Bully"? To me,…

It's okay, but please don't get too pissed off over a piece of shit. It isn't worth the energy.

Yeah, Josh should snip the problem in the bud and lock the metaphorical barn door before more of the sperm get out.
