Agreed. He really explained his decision in an eloquent yet Simms-ian way, too. A refreshingly straightforward and down-to-earth take.

Ha, great observation. The big red orb of power strategically placed in the position of Sarge's dick (which he proceeds to play with—the ball, not the dick) is another sly directorial choice in that scene.

Thanks for the wisdom! I updated the review.

This is true—is there somewhere I said otherwise?

Block And Tackle will return when the 2014 season kicks off—I'm glad you enjoy it!

You guys are really nice. Your comments always gave me confidence when I was doing these weekly. I did this one because I wanted everyone to have a little fun, myself included, at the end of a week full of disheartening news. I might check in once or twice more this season, because it was fun to do one like old times,…

The story is much more interesting than that. Taft was a poor political maneuverer by his own account, by his wife's account—Nellie Taft was practically his political "brain" at times—and by the accounts of many contemporaries. I've read a number of histories of the time, and none of them portray a political master in…

Aw, thank you so much. I'm sure Mom appreciates that, too. Before we can have any talk of merch, though, I've got to get a Mom On Pop logo designed. It's on the to-do list!

Yup, me too.

Thanks, Ralph! I do plan to continue this practice going forward. I've always wanted to include more images.

In the linked Time Warner corporate data page, the 127 million figure for HBO/Cinemax is billed as a "worldwide" number, and it also includes the caveat "includes unconsolidated joint ventures." So who really knows how they're measuring it, aside from the obvious fact that they use whatever metric yields the biggest…

They don't go into this much detail, but you're basically correct. She had drunk too much tequila and slipped in the shower.

In the end, we are all just people on the internet

From Can't Hardly Wait to Everyone's Waiting…but who are the four? I can only find three.

A beautiful take, zedhed. Thanks for writing it up!
