He says it with such authority that they basically think he's been deputized.

Isn't that Vincenzo Natalia (sp) movie? It can't be that bad.

I try not to watch more than hour of TV a day. It's made me a happier person.

Todd anticipated identity politics trumping substance way before that shit was hip.

It's a good show. The lead character is an interesting mix of flawed and virtuous. It's also fairly subversive for a TV show. And Laura Dern is excellent. I felt like they made her a little less flawed in the second season, and I didn't like that, but I still recommend the show.

I saw Selleck a few years ago. He was outside some posh hotel east of Central Park, having a smoke. He tensed up when he saw me recognize him. His face conveyed his thoughts: "Am I going to have to acknowledge this asshole?" I did the right thing, the New York thing, and averted my eyes, and let Tom Selleck have…

Speaking for the AV Club's aging demographic, I don't know who the fuck Meek Mills is.

Now come on. You KNOW those are just words you typed at random.

Parents just don't understand.

I honestly don't see that stuff much anymore. Feminism has really become mainstream, even if people very stupidly and dishonestly don't want to use that word anymore.

You sound like a real piece of work.

That almost makes sense. Another strong try.

Your premise is silly. Why would liking him give me any more insight into his mind? In fact, I am more likely to interpret his actions correctly because I am not tainted by a desire to reconcile his acts with my positive image of him.

"It's not a mystery, it's unknown, which is ENTIRELY different." Of course. With that kind of lucidity I can see why you think Lindelof is so great.

I wasn't referring to his motivations, but nice try.

I don't agree that the mystery is not central.

Really? Then where'd they go?

Yeah, they're similar because Lindeloff is using Chase's approach as Lindelof's pretext. You have to recall the context here, which is we're talking about a name that, more than any other, is synonymous with not knowing how to satisfyingly solve the mysteries he's raised. That would leave anyone groping for a good…

I like how you imply that if I don't think Lindelof is up to snuff, it must be personal. Let me clear it up for you. I think he is an incompetent filmmaker. I think to suggest his mealymouthed bullshit is at same level as The Sopranos, which is genuine literary ambiguity in the case of the Russian, is just total…
