I've never played an AC game, but I want to. Which one should I start with?

AAUGH etc.

For reasons, I'd like to know how you might describe The Band. Genuinely asking.

He seems like a smart guy. I often compare him to Peter O'Toole, something about his manner just reminds me of him.

I'm all for separating art and artist, as I've discussed on other threads. I think The Cosby Show remains a seminal and important work even though its creator is likely a monster. I watched and enjoyed a Woody Allen movie last night, even though I think he should be in prison. I love Chinatown, but want Polanski…

Netflix needs to eat whatever contract it signed, because the blowback from releasing this could be terrible.

One of my favorite things about Japan is visiting a new town or city and seeing their localized Hello Kitty merchandise. The city where I lived most recently had her in an eyepatch because our 17th-century warlord wore one. But my favorite is the version for Aizu-Wakamatsu, where Hello Kitty carries a rifle.

Just like the guy who said movie silencers are BS, discounting the fact that Q likely makes James Bond's silencers and thus CAN make them almost totally silent (since he can make all sorts of gadgets), this piece discounts that Bard's black arrow was forged by Dwarves in the days of their glory in Erebor. It isn't…

If breaking dishes qualifies as violence, I'm wondering if there is a single TV show that they could watch. Any TV shows in which not a single thing gets broken?

I knew movies. Movies were friends of mine. Paul Blart, you're no movie.

Bing Crosby was notoriously abusive to his family, so it wouldn't be out of line even for him.

"I knew that Cookie would have to go through this. And Elmo, well… Elmo."

"I don't apologize, that's my life, but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Ernie; Governor Ernie. Well, it wasn't enough time, Ern. It wasn't enough time."

I guess they're the liberal ball washers you speak of.

I was there one or two years ago and it was open. I also couldn't help thinking "Big Bird and Snuffy were here!" And James Mason's floating head, but he probably was in a studio somewhere…

My little brother and I had the same arrangement.

My knowledge about Cezanne starts and ends with the fact that he is known in part for still-life paintings of fruit, and that fact comes from Sesame Street's "Don't Eat the Pictures." Without that, there is a chance that I would know no facts about Cezanne except that he was a French painter.

It's quite the overstatement. "…is tinged with sadness, like a lot of great children's stories" would have been more accurate. I tear up every time I read AA Milne, which is almost a hundred years old, but every generation wants to believe that melancholy and depth are new inventions.

If Air Bud were Air Bird, it would make a lot more sense.

You guys have *got* to cover Sesame Street's "Don't Eat the Pictures." It is a creepy, wonderful film, far far better than "Follow that Bird," but few people remember it.
