I think most of the frustration stems from last year, when there were more obvious African-American performances that were overlooked, particularly in Selma. When the slate of twenty white nominees was released this year, it was a sign that the Academy seriously wasn't getting the criticism and something more drastic

At least they aren't copying Disqus.

Oh, hey, there were two sequels to K9? I thought the original just had a subtitle I was previously unaware of.

For the last time, scrappybilly, quit pissing in the shower!

I was six when I first saw it, so I maybe didn't realize how terrible it was. And the rape thing came later.

That happened to a friend of my parents. The saddest part was that it was the day of her husband's funeral, and she missed it because she was in the hospital getting treated for a snakebite on the ass. She lived in a fairly rural area and I guess had a septic tank.

I was terrified of all liquids for several months after seeing Terminator 2. Could never tell which ones might be a robot sent from the future to kill me.

Bound was also a fine film. Lesbian love scene aside, it takes a pretty basic noirish plot and does a great job building suspense. And it has Joe Pantoliano - he makes everything better. Heck, they should have made Neo fight an army of Cyphers in the last movie. That would have been cool.

The Invention of Lying was a better movie - or at least a more interesting one - than I expected. The trailer really played up the "you have to have sex with me or the world will end!" scene, which is hardly anything in the film. The trailer guys were probably trying to avoid -wisely, perhaps- the more controversial

That's so perfect, I'll be disappointed if it doesn't happen.

I'd like to see Seu Jorge playing his Bowie covers from Life Aquatic. But, like, on a boat. Probably wouldn't be all that hard to do, really.

I'd like to see her wail on a saxophone while being haunted by the ghost of her high school girlfriend, myself. Or maybe fight some Nazis. That'd be cool, too.

"I'm tired of these monkey fighting farting boner corpses on this Monday-to-Friday island!"

Which is unfortunate. If I was in charge, it would have been Super Bowl XXXXX. Or maybe Super Bowl XLX. No reason to spurn nearly five decades of tradition.

I think that was the idea. He's the representative of a shadowy, faceless organization. If he died, someone else would step right in to take his place. Except we were supposed to care when he died, and now he's carrying a TV show. Coulson is a problem.

I could believe that he holds together a small team, full of people who knew him really well. But a big organization like SHIELD? I don't see how he's cut out for that. He's just playing at being director. I'd rather see him butting heads with a morally gray boss. Pit Coulson's idealism against some Realpolitik, see

If you feel that strongly about him, it's probably best that you stopped in season five; you'd really hate season six.

Anybody said Agent Coulson yet? He kind of worked when he was the loyal company man struggling with the seemingly sinister things Nick Fury was up to, but as director? Not doing it for me. The kicker is that they keep introducing characters who would be more interesting directors - Edward James Olmos's character,

Wasn't the same symbol over the door to the room where the "Gentlemen" had their meeting?
