I don't know what a dog fart is like, but cat farts are positively the worst. On the rare occasion mine lets one rip, I have to open all the windows and stay on another floor for a good twelve hours.

I'm going to wager this doggie is friendlier and less farty than you.

Honest to freakin' god.

One speaker postulated that women are responsible for all domestic violence because, having all the power in relationships, they could simply choose not to marry violent men.

Call him on that bullshit. Everyone in Portland has had PBR, even the craft beer snobs.

Ah, my apologies for the misread - didn't mean to be dismissive!

You're actually right for a change. Humanity does not abide stupidity like yours for very long. Thank god you'll die off soon.

I adore Rachel McAdams. Ryan Gosling is okay. Love and revere Garner & Rowlands. Have no aversion to well-written romantic dramas.

And you're an idiot, bringing this back around to my earlier point.

So, Melissa McCarthy is to fat what you are to stupid? Got it.

I think you are the first person in history to argue that Hollywood is pro-fat.

I can definitely see your point and don't mean to sound dismissive of it; for me, learning in this review what a critical, and long-term, hand she had in the creative process of this film pushes me to thinking she's not capable, interested or willing to even try moving outside of that box. I thought the point of a…

Not to blow your mind, but that's not unusual in casting. Hell, Angela Lansbury was only two years older than Laurence Harvey when she played his mother in The Manchurian Candidate. If they'd ko'd her from consideration because of that real-life fact, we'd have lost one of the great performances in the history of…

I agreed with you up until this point in your follow-up comment, "It's not HER fault."

Helen Mirren is just made of awesome. That she gave me the best response ever to, "Why don't you have kids?" was just the cherry on the cake of great.

Always glad to hear someone embrace her child-free life, though I prefer the succinct and to-the-point explanation by Helen Mirren:

Tom Sietsema, restaurant critic for the Washington Post, fields this question almost every week in his live discussion. I think he provides a reasonable approach.

Although I probably would have erred on the side of good faith and assumed the driver was not to blame for the late delivery and tipped on the freebie, I am not a fan of the coercive broaching of the topic. A few years ago, a friend and I were at dinner in D.C., and we tipped 20% - but on the pre-tax amount, as many…

Ugh. The Shamu dress. I just cannot believe that no one foresaw the comparison before she went out in public with that on.
