I missed the article entirely. It kinda sucks that this runs the risk of being my last comment…

Also, wine boxes are working their way up the price and quality tiers, with some solid day-to-day wines already going the boxed route for environmental purposes or logistical purposes (they're easier to ship and preserve the wine more effectively when opened). The way things are trending, I think boxes will likely…

I believe the proper format is:

Height is rarely the same thing as presence.

It's from the same creator as Fargo and drew a lot of comparisons to Hannibal for its visual and narrative grammar. It's good good, using a lot of the same tools as Hannibal but a little more accessible and a lot less arthouse.

I am really hoping that they finally give him a chance to play a little more of a clown or a buffoon this season. Capaldi is a fantastic clown (see Fortysomething), and when he was announced as Twelve I was really hoping they'd give him some chances to flex those muscles again. Instead, it seems like they've been…

A lot of folks who don't go more recent than the 60s or 70s miss out on them. Lish was a good writer (I like his short stories a lot, never really got into his novels) and a hugely influential editor in the latter third or quarter of the 20th century, giving additional shape and coherence to a lot of the ideas about…

Hemingway gets two paragraphs—that's at least twice as much as any other author she addresses—though one of those grafs is as much about Fitzgerald as it is Hemingway. I'll paste the relevant grafs below.

She directly addresses Hemingway's debt to Stein in the essay.

I don't think that, "We do it because we are attracted to you, but I don't do it because I'm shy, and also some people do it because they are jerks, I'm sure," is a worthy argument in this case.

So, on the one hand, I recently tried to re-watch some Fringe because I missed it and tried to re-watch Sarah Connor Chronicles because I remember not thinking much of it at the time but know a lot of people who swear that it's worthwhile.

Dear goodness I want to see that ASAP. Can we Kickstart, like, $300m to make this happen?

I'm still a little sad that Liev Schreiber never got to play Harvey Dent.

Are we really at the point where Game of Thrones is the default point of reference for Aidan Gillen instead of The Wire? I know that Elizabeth Moss is now "from Mad Men" instead of "from The West Wing," and I'm absolutely on board with that, but I don't know if I can make the switch with Gillen yet.

I absolutely love The Onion's video about Brendan Fraser taking to Kickstarter to fund his new movie. If you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to look it up. It only works as well as it does because of that likable quality you mention.

You know, maybe he could still play Uncle Andrew? Which is odd, because I actually have been picturing him in the role since I first read the book 21 years ago. The fact that he's still a viable candidate for it is pretty amazing.

At first I was wondering how I missed this, then I realized that the whole Ricci-as-Borden thing has been happening in a series of Lifetime movies, and I'm definitely not the target demo for news or ads about Lifetime movies, so it makes sense that I hadn't heard about this.

Like I said, I've only skimmed the books. I can't claim any authority on the matter or any understanding of how the character is presented over the course of the series. He just seems to be drawn as a person with more physical presence than Grace or Cera, even if he's big into the indy scene.

Wow, you're absolutely right. The movie was apparently called Lizzie Borden Took An Ax and came out two years ago. That's still ten or fifteen years later than I would have cast her, even if it's closer to age-appropriate for the real-life Borden.

Yeah. I've only skimmed the books, but he strikes me more as a slacker Channing Tatum than as a Michael Cera or Topher Grace type.
