Well, the article was posted on a site named 'AV Club'. The same article posted to 'HO Gauge Railway Enthusiast Monthly' wouldn't make half as much sense.

Not to go too far afield, but I've been watching a new quality Korean murder mystery series called "Stranger" (English title. Korean title translates "Hidden Forest") that is the first murder mystery in years that's kept me guessing. The plot twists are BIG but they make sense within the show's universe. The cast is…

An aside - tomorrow (Thursday) The CW starts up a new summer series with the astoundingly unfortunate title of "Hooten and the Lady". I wouldn't mention this except the CW's batting average has been pretty high lately. I can't write-off a CW show out of hand simply based on a bad title. The previews look like a 100%…

I have a friend who went on an internet dive once and came up convinced Nazis flew flying saucers. Swear-to-God. This is wrong on so many levels. First, its absurd on the face of it. Second, it defies the laws of physics. Third, you'd think a Nazi flying saucer would have been hanging in the Air & Space Museum in DC…

The topic isn't about 'food', its about a debilitating anxiety disorder related to OCD. There are plenty of modern Asian films focused on the manic fixations of anxiety-ridden young women.

The author of this article seems to be in denial of some sort. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting but I read the opening paragraph as 'Anorexics are definitely thinner than I am, they definitely eat less than me. So anyone who is my size and eats like me can't possibly be anorexic… can they?'

Back when cable was first revving up right wingers were claiming that we didn't need PBS anymore because A&E and Bravo would be the arts & culture channels while the history channel would explore history. Unfortunately, they don't really do that anymore. Also unfortunately, neither does PBS either. I'd hardly call the…

Anyone old enough to remember the 'chariots of the gods' bestseller of the 70s will be familiar with the concept of 'simply making shit up'.

Vayntrub was on ER. Played a dying Russian child. Her mom had a crush on George Clooney. Here's her 'totally legit' audition reel from 2011.

It looks like 'Other Space' got revived - or should I say ripped off - by a coming Fox series named "The Orville". For anyone familiar with 'Other Space' the similarities are startling. The premise is so close I wonder if Feig sold them the rights.

This is bad news in a way. I recall reading that society prefers images of curvey woman during hard times. In times of prosperity we get flappers and Twiggy and super skinny disco babes.

I only learned yesterday, by coincidence, that Vayntrub is a former child gymnast. Back 6-7 years ago she did these bizarre YouTube skits paying a15 year old girl who was coincidentally also a werewolf. Andy Kaufman level of deadpan humor. Confused people would post "Is real or a joke?"

This episode needed to do a lot of heavy lifting with Nathaniel. Just last episode he was reprehensible. This episode he's getting sympathy and compassion from his employees. Turning him so quickly was a magic trick.

Nothing wrong with Rita. The big problem was she knew this creepy asshole weatherman less than 24 hrs and already the guy wants to get married and have her babies. Creepier than the Jennifer Lawrence space movie.

At least he never kept Russian sex slaves like Stephen Seagall.

You mean like Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keefe?

Most every rom com where the couple hate each other til they don't. You get the impression that after the oxytocin has worn off and fucking has become routine they'll be right back to hating each other again, like George and Martha in whose afraid of Virgina Woolf?

Now that sexual orientation is no longer an impediment to serving I guess the new Top Gun will be more overtly homoerotic than the original. As if it were possible to be more overtly homoerotic than the original.

Bourne Supremacy is one of those films that suffers a bit from "was it REALLY as good as I thought it was the first time?" syndrome. Not quite on par with Avatar in that regard but still you have difficulty putting your finger on precisely what made it 'good'. I've been watching a lot of Korean action adventure films…

Its running slow for me too. Open another window and go someplace else on the web for awhile kind'a slow.
