When I did a class in college that required a video presentation (it was on Electromagnetic Waves), one girl in the class inexplicably played it over her completely non-narrated or voiced video, which is the only time I’ve seen such a thing.

I liked the bees episode. Not the biggest fan of Playtest with it’s too-many fakeout deaths, but I’d still say anyone should watch all of them because they’re all interesting in their own way.

He should just resign. He will be replaced by another Minnesota Democrat. Yes, it sucks that a popular and nationally prominent figure like Franken had to go, but that ship sailed when he grabbed things he wasn’t supposed to. Everything he does from this point on would be tainted anyway, even if he stayed.

Not when he’s being blasted with attack ads calling him a hypocrite.

“Females” sounds bad, because it’s de-humanising. But “female Senators” does not, because “female” is the adjective and not the noun.

Why would you think that would happen? He’s from Minnesota. He’ll be replaced by another Democrat who (hopefully) hasn’t been pinching anyone’s butt without asking them first.

“And I think you need to make a distinction between Irish-Americans, many of whom have roots in the US for several generations and some of whom may be Irish Protestants, and Irish nationals who still get derided for their accent, culture and Catholicism.” 

You’re not exactly going to have some new up-and-coming whippersnapper playing the editor-in-chief of a newspaper.

What does that have to do with it? If Jeff Bezos is known for being anti-free media in some way, I had no idea, but even so he seems to have been largely pretty hands-off with the Washington Post.

Well I guess that means at least one person went to see the BFG.

The Adventures of Tintin is a very interesting animated film he directed too.

I think he already said it in Saving Private Ryan. He had a line that was something like “it’s our job to follow fuckin’ orders”.

I wonder what it’s odds are. It has some political stuff going for it in that it’s pro-journalism, anti-government in the age of Trump, but at the same time it’s currently at just 76% on RT (subject to change of course, because it’s still early) which would be very low for a best-picture winner. On top of that,…

I think Lincoln was great, one of my favourites of 2012. Contrary to your assertion that nobody will watch it a second time, I’ve already seen it 3 times and enjoyed it just as much on subsequent viewings.

I think your comment might have been a little premature because it’s jumped up all the way to 76% at the time of writing with 100% from “Top Critics” (although that’s still under 30 reviews so it’s liable to swing considerably, still).

Christ, what an asshole.

Depends on where you go. My own experience is that Bud is pretty common too. Miller a little less so out of a tap, but you’ll get it bottled in plenty of places.

I actually never heard the cunnilingus joke (or thought about it) until an American comedian (can’t remember if it was Louis CK or Steve Hofstetter) came to Dublin and commented on it.

Did Aer Lingus pay for this sketch? There was something in an earlier AV Club article about companies like Safelite paying for product placement (although obviously not being happy with the final product). Did Aer Lingus by any chance do something similar?

I’m not saying they haven’t, I’m saying the effects of it have long since passed, which is not true of groups like African Americans or Latin Americans. The social construct of race has adjusted so that “Irish” or “Italian” is no longer considered to be different than just “white”.
