If you want to imagine the future, imagine Ira Glass stomping on a human face…forever.

I've always found his voice (which a lot of people seem to hate) quite soothing.

Today on This American Life, Voices of The Elderly.

That show is addictive. If Karina wanted to make each episode three hours long I would happily listen to them.

This American Life, various CBC podcasts, The Flophouse, and You Must Remember This have been lifesavers for me at work and on long drives.

When Andrew Scott's over the top acting works, it works (see Moriarty breaking into the Tower of London to pose on a throne wearing The Crown Jewels). When it doesn't however…hoo boy.

Molly and Lestrade should have their own spin-off series where they're the ones solving crimes together and being awesome.

This whole conversation is reminding me of just how much I love it when the MST3K crew do the exaggerated Minnesota/Wisconsin accents.

It probably rhymes with mon chere.

I might have to check those out.

I love that story so much.

To quote Zazu in The Lion King, "There's one in every family sir."

That's when you know you've made it in Hollywood, when you have lackeys whose only job is to bring you expensive coffee.

Despite it's many issues that was definitely one thing that movie got right.

Yeah i always appreciated how in the epilogue she didn't shy away from talking about the continued struggles with trauma that Katniss and her family faced well after the events of the books.

I read that that entire scene was a last minute addition to the movie. Basically, Hanks completely improvised the entire thing and the medics simply reacted as if they were treating a real trauma patient.

I've talked about how much this scene affected me in other threads, but it absolutely crushed me when I saw this in theatre. I remember it took everything I had not to start bawling when he crying about the pirate's blood spatter still being on him.

If he'd only written a catchy jingle he'd of had it in the bag.

It would honest to god break my heart if anything terrible ever came out about Tom Hanks. Please let him actually be as funny and sweet as he seems.

Eccleston did an amazing job with The Doctor in the short time that he played him. He was able to grab you right from the first moment and that takes real talent.
