How exactly would that be implemented? Given the explicit protection afforded to a free press in the 1st Amendment, I'm not sure it's possible through legislation or executive action. I'm more concerned about a spate of Peter Thiel vs. Gawker type deals.

Seth Meyers has done a couple of skits with GoT characters as modern-day dinner guests. Kit Harrington was hilarious as Debbie Downer Jon Snow.

That's a compelling strategy.

I thought Jaime was done for. For sure.

Dude, quit Arby's.

Near-perfect. Needs a "boy!" somewhere in there.

Near-perfect my ass. It's in my top five.

If that's what you meant, cool. But I think what you said was that Tarantino paired SLJ and DeNiro, and somehow made it boring. I disagree. It's never as intense as "Larry, stop pointin' that fuckin' gun at my Dad!" But it has some excellent moments of tension, and a couple of "Holy shit!"s (Louis finally getting his…

I would also submit Hombre and 52-Pick-Up as solid adaptations that are faithful to Leonard's style.

From "Elmore Leonard is overrated" to "Jackie Brown is boring": this is, indeed, a counterpoint. A hilariously wrong one, but a counterpoint nonetheless, boldly stated. Kudos.

All true. Which is why you don't marry her.

Apropos of nothing: yesterday I pulled up to a light. In the next lane was a young woman, couldn't have been 20, blasting "The Humpty Dance" and singing along at the top of her lungs.

My balls gave your mother a productive idea: you!

The man is an animal! Ripping out phones, urinating on desks… you see what he did to Ms. Cochran's shirt? There's a scratch here, I mean, it's not deep, but… it's there.

I submit that's not as bad as wearing a 3-to-a-package Fruit of the Loom t-shirt to judge a network reality show.
