This is bleak, but that is basically Jimmy's show. He's an uber positive guy, and the thing I loved most about Dave was he literally poked holes in the inane, even the worshiped celebrities that he didn't like much. Jimmy F. is the opposite. I think there's nothing exactly wrong with Jimmy F. (his Tonight Show is…

well said.

i'm with you. and i'm a woman who would be offended normally by the mere suggestion of it; i found the incest scene by joffrey's corpse far more offensive and "shocking." however, from a story standpoint, sansa has narrowly escaped several times; she has terrible luck, but in a sense, she has relied on others to help…

oh damn. i commented…and you said it. more succinctly. i should read further.

it's not that they were smarter, per se. it's that they underestimated her. she was equally smart as they are. and, in point of fact, may be the most like her dad. but, she's overcompensated trying to prove that she should not be underestimated because of her sex and, in so doing, has convinced herself that she's…

Also, I could have up-voted to show my appreciation…allow me to correct…

Yes, that's true; on the other hand, forgive me for thoughtfully and/or wonderingly yearning for the proper alignment of metaphor and literary reference…maybe it would have better for me to equate the ACLU to the rebellious trees in Fangorn Forest. But Middle Earth is Middle Earth and this is real Earth or…

To be fair, it's the government agencies that are run by Ents. The ACLU is an advocacy agency…they have to investigate to appease the Ents.

fair. that's probably why vinyl has made such a resurgence. digitizing music, i think, and making it available with the push of a button has desensitized the experience of listening, discussing, and sharing music somewhat.

grew up or born? i was a child of the 80s and a teen of the 90s, and grunge and the so-called "alternative" bands were my jam. and later, some of the rap/rock groups like Rage (but not Limp Bizkit…ew). The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are my two fave bands - i know, so done - but i also like U2 (stop haters) and the…

the article covered both.

exactly so. and because it's a historical document, context is so vital. the book and the film for me, a civil rights worker no less, is more about the strong female lead character. yes, it's very racist. remember, though, that in 1939, Jim Crow was still very much a reality. it's not an excuse and yet is one all…

Are we now just naming random songs by British bands?

while i think prediction of sound has nothing to do with it, i applaud you, sir.

well played.

I'm with patchy and Dirtbike. I like both bands, but U2 has a 30 year stretch of inventing and reinventing themselves, while Tool has some solid riffs, intelligent and philosophical lyrics, but ultimately a harder sound that begs one to be in the mood to hear it.

and quiver in antici….

You obviously haven't had Jelly Bellys Juicy Pear flavor. You don't even know those little beauties are jelly beans, they're so delicious.

Once upon a time, I was not a Trek fan. Then, I saw Gordie LaChance from Stand By Me on some new fangled Star Trek. So I started watching. I became a Trek fan (Trekker/Trekkie…what's the going parlance?). But a Trek fan who never found Wesley Crusher all that annoying - though I was like his age at the time (and…

cross generational star trek referencing!
