As Gollum might say, "IT RUINS IT!"

Let's be realistic—without the "Cloverfield" ending this would have just been a B-grade Hitchcock knockoff. The real problem isn't what happens at the end but the fact that it's been telegraphed from the get-go to anyone who's ever heard of the original film. With the "Cloverfield" element the viewer spends a lot of…

I think I really liked Catching Hell because its tone was so much different than most of the other 30 For 30s. The vast majority of the others are sports hagiographies, but Catching Hell felt like staring into an abyss where sports were modern humanity's version of warring tribes and you were watching one tribe's…

Assault and battery are also legal with consent; otherwise the UFC (not to mention dominatrix sessions) would be a lot less entertaining.

If there's one thing I've learned about UNC fans, it's that they never stop having strong feelings about long-since-irrelevant Duke players who beat them at least once.

Laettner says thanks for taking him down to #4.

Keep in mind we are talking in percentages, not in actual number of false reports. Theft and insurance fraud happens considerably more often than rape.

Grayson Lambert was a quarterback for UGA. At least 50% less doucheyfaced than Grayson Allen.

Rape accusations already start off on poor footing. It probably is the most under-reported of all crimes. It probably has the highest percentage of false reports of all crimes. It has a horrible social stigma attached that is not attached to other crimes. And an accusation of it arouses extremely passionate…

It depends on which brand of feminism you're talking about.

So, pretty much like her approach to every other case.

This was far and away the most important episode of 30-for-30 that ESPN has ever aired, and "Catching Hell" held that title for a while.

Well, in fairness, she has to make some wrong choices; otherwise there's no story or she comes off like a Mary Sue. I found the conservative approach refreshing—there was no affair, just a woman temporarily lured by a lifestyle that is more recognizable and comfortable to her. It makes it not only positive from a…

It's the good kind of conservative and the good kind of progressive—a movie showing a woman making her own choices and making (mostly) the right ones.

Brooklyn is a better film than The Martian. And that's coming from someone who thinks The Martian was pretty good.

….by choosing to do something that will lead her directly to hell. Yeah, that makes sense.

The studio didn't make the film. They purchased it from the filmmaker, whose quotes regarding the Satanists' screenings were terse and carefully worded. There's nothing anti-Christian about the ending. Thematically it critiques fundamentalist mindsets, but the witches are also clearly more villainous and evil than the…

Yeah. Forgiveness of sins in Christianity is supposed to be a lifting of burdens and fears. Puritanism seemed to do the exact opposite.

I read it as her trading one form of slavery for another.

Except for the part where it's not pro-Satanism. I'm starting to think this film is going to become an excellent litmus test for relationships in the future. If someone you're friends with or dating thinks the ending is a "liberation" (as many are now saying), you should run away from that relationship as soon as…
