I've long thought that Lewis would be perfect as Matt Murdock/Daredevil. And his performance in Homeland really convinced me that he would be great in that role.

The worst was Landry, which his constant "nice guy" guilt-tripping of Tyra.

It's funny, a bunch of people would recommend the show to me, and before I could ask any questions, they'd qualify it by saying "don't worry, it's not really about football." And I'd think "but I love football. I watch tons of football every week. I'd totally watch a show about football." And I didn't watch it until…

The movies are a lot sillier. I enjoy them a lot, but they don't even attempt to translate the moral complexity of the books.

James Brown's career speaks for itself. Funk would not exist without James Brown. Hip-hop would not exist without James Brown. Afrobeat would not exist without James Brown. Dance music would be completely different without James Brown. The Beatles, Dylan, Les Paul, all of them together can't match James Brown's…

The score-settling has always been there, but it seems to me that it got worse as his profile began to rise with the Rotten Tomatoes controversies. But maybe it was always this bad and I just have less patience for it now.

When it comes to actual film knowledge, there aren't many critics working that can match him. And when he focuses on just the film, he's capable of making a persuasive case. You want to argue that this Adam Sandler movie is actually great? Sure, I'll entertain the notion (I actually came to appreciate Spanglish after…

There have been a few times when I've absolutely hated a movie that everyone loved, and I felt like I was going crazy because I would rant about it to anyone who would listen. Then I read an Armond White review that agreed with me completely, and perfectly explained why everyone else was wrong. And I realized "this is…

As long as you don't need peripheral vision. And who'd need something like that on a battlefield?

"S&M chick, ass pushin' a choker"
That line should be "S&M chick, asked Pusha to choke her"

Both of the Steelers-Cowboys Super Bowls from the 70s were great games. And in looking at just the first 22 Super Bowls, the 49ers vs Bengals game was great, and the Redskins vs Dolphins was really good.

No, I think the precedent had been set already. We knew about football players juicing, we'd seen track stars caught doping, there'd been jokes for years about East German female athletes on steroids.

That seems like a much more normal sports scandal to me. The only thing I can think of that matches the craziness of these stories is the Malice at the Palace brawl in Detroit.

I was sympathetic to Tonya for a while, until she said Nancy Kerrigan was rude for ignoring her after the attack. That's when I said "okay, she's delusional,"

The sports world in the 90s was kinda insane. We saw:

So Breaking Bad is basically a twisted, 21st century American version of Ikiru, right?

I think the interactive aspect is a big part of it. In making these choices, you're creating a lead character that you find interesting and compelling.

So far, the worst thing about the new game is that when you fuck up, you get to watch Clem die a gruesome death before you get a chance to do it over again.

Maybe Fringe? Astrid and Broyles were great, well-developed characters.
