I don't quite agree, but it's damn near the top of the list. It's mainly because the competition for Best Coen Brothers Movie is so fierce.

I was a little too young for its initial release, but I saw it at a second run theater a few years after its release and before the Coens really became the COENS (pre-Fargo). I agree, this was the first film I ever saw that really struck a chord with me regarding the power of film. I sort of thought all "great movies"…

I dropped out after 200 but before 250. It just got intolerable and worse yet, boring. I did pick it back up for Last Days, which had some great and art and the fulfillment of the prophecy of his death from way back in Church and State II.

The world continually conspired against me to prevent me from seeing the Dismemberment Plan for years. The worst was a long, complicated story which resulted in not only me missing the show, but my wife leaving me. It was a bad day, and the sort of thing that happened to me whenever I tried to see them… really bad…

I think she very clearly gives a shit, but she also knows going against the tide would mean truly awful things for her. Her moral cowardice is more justifiable than Coates or Bayley's. There's an implicit threat there.

So, not a total loss.

The horror is that he is the best the women of Litchfield could hope for. If he was any stronger of a person, he'd have quit or been fired a long time ago. If he were weaker, he'd be getting drunk with Luschek and letting MCC do whatever, whenever they wanted. He's the perfectly toxic mix of big ideals and lack of…

The old Labour Party, pre-Blair was extremely protectionist for rather obvious reasons. The far left in England, particularly the working class left, has always been nationalistic and trends anti-Europe.

24 hours ago, I felt Trump had no chance of winning the election, and I live in the deep south. I truly believed that the voice of reason would win out in the end, and voters would do the sensible thing… Now I'm not so sure.

Clearly, you don't follow the Blackhawks….

The Rangers have had some underrated sports suffering. I moved to Dallas and married a Dallas woman whose dad has had Rangers' season tickets since the team moved here. Watching that Game 6 with them was like watching their grandma get murdered in front of them. I felt so awful for them (I'm an Orioles fan, and am…

The Ringer is fucking terrible. I know they took a lot of staff from Grantland, so maybe they just took the bad writers. But Grantland was a must read full of great sportswriters doing interesting work that didn't talk down to the audience. The Ringer almost feels like an unintentional parody of Millennials. The…

Isn't his character in Gone Girl from St. Louis? Why wouldn't he wear a Cardinals hat? And no way a Cardinals fan, in character, ever roots for the Yankees.

Jones. Because there is no way to get rid of him. Also, the news stadium now only exists to extract as much money from suckers, I mean Cowboys fans, as quickly as humanly possible. That stadium is the single least fan-friendly place to watch a game. Good thing it is ridiculously expensive, has incomprehensible entry…

This sounds amazing. It sounds like the sort of film for people who wished Eraserhead was a comedy.

Sure. But he's an entertaining fictional character. I'd hate him in real life, but the show works better for having a funny piece of shit on it.

I think the writers have turned into the skid of everyone hating Piper by making her a villain. Which is a good idea. but prior to this recent villain turn, I do think she was disproportionately called out for her sins while other got a pass from the audience. Besides, its not like Piper owes anyone in the prison…

I think Judy summed up Luschek perfectly. He's half a piece of shit. Sure, he's selfish and lazy, but it's not like he ever pretends he's trying to help anyone. And funny goes a long way.

Hmmm… massively overrated and got in to the Hall of Fame on the coattails of park effects and more talented teammates… yeah, I'll buy Drysdale as the Doors.

Sparkling water is awful. Flavored sparkling water is even worse.
