Morning Dew. Dead played it, but can't remember who wrote it.

That's why D&C struck a chord with so many people. It's realistic and refreshing in that it doesn't lean on dusty stereotypes (like, say, Breakfast Club). Life is not as black and white as it's often portrayed, and in real life, there is a wide spectrum between jock and nerd (and stoner and goth and genius and…

Yeah. I'm thinking many who like to use "bro-" or "brah-" as a prefix probably did.

Linklater is awesome. I saw Dazed and Confused way back when it was in the theatre a bit on a whim and was blown away. This follow up has been a long time coming. Can't wait to see it.

baaaaaa. Sorry for my contrary opinion. Baaaaa. You know more about an author you haven't read than most other authors? Baaaa

I'm not that much. But I do sometimes try to present a different point of view when there's none in sight.

You mean the message about not following the status quo, not being lazy, and believing in your own unique ideas? I could see why the herd would find such a message boring.

I should never defend Ayn Rand around these parts. But I wonder…. How many around these parts have ever actually *read* the Fountainhead (despite professing hatred for Rand)?

B.

Yup.

And don't forget Evil Angela Lansbury. Come to think of it I may need to change my avatar….

I mostly gave up on the AV Club when they killed off Tobias, Robinson and Phipps and mortally wounded Rabin and Murray. Still pop in from time to time though.

Agreed, though as it stands it's a fairly solid list. Who knew Duckie has such good taste?

Every voter in the Academy has a direct vested interest in the outcome. Democracy at its finest.

I get the point of these charts and agree there's a slant. But I think they are a little misleading. If you grouped some of the columns under best actress and called it "professional" there would be many more than "wife" or "entertainer." Also, what does the last 40 years look like separate from the preceding 50?

You are creating a straw man argument. According to the court documents she doesn't have to work with Dr Luke. She just has to honor her contract with Sony.

I've read your comment 3 times and still don't understand it. But if you are saying what I think you might be saying, the response is that there are informed opinions and uninformed opinions and a spectrum between the two.

Wait, did I say that? I think you're confused.

Because she wants out of her contract? I don't know. Also, are you sure about her career being derailed? seems like an overstatement.

And I know a guy who spent 5 years in prison after being falsely accused of rape. I sincerely believe he didn't do it — and for what it's worth my wife and pretty much all of his female acquaintances believe him too. But a knee- jerking judge in a remote kangaroo court railroaded him. Still too theoretical for you?
