@i and 1: You have presented me with an interesting paradox: If you are lying to me, then you are doing it with honorable intentions. But if you're not lying to me, then that means you are lying.

But I'm using Firefox! This triple-posting happened to me before but seems to have been solved. (and for those of you joining us late, they have cleaned up my duplicate posts. Isn't this just fascinating?)

Alerting the spoilers…
I usually get impatient with anyone waving that "spoiler alert" flag but seeing how I'm about halfway through season 4 of Battlestar Galactica I'd like to thank you for fucking it up for me.

and why did that (and maybe this) post in triplicate?
Why? If this is posted thrice, it's not my fault. Get on it, web dudes.

Hmmm…
Well, the new design is probably "better" looking but a lot of that is probably the shiny newness of it. It seems very iPod targeted, which is probably a good thing if that's where your viewers are coming from. For us Boost Mobile types who access from a gigantic desktop PC, it means more scrolling to see the…

OK, you got me. But the sub-head does say the "best podcasts of the week." I missed the part where it said "the rest." SO I LISTENED TO EVERY SINGLE ONE! It took all week and I lost my job and have been sleepless so long I'm hallucinating like "The Machinist" but it was worth it.

@Lupin Addam's link above is relevant, rational and bears repeating:

@Mormon Nailer is a monster If 50,000 people are being trafficked as sex slaves in the USA, it is a problem of epic proportions. I'm just very, very skeptical of the number. That kind of sensationalism has a tendency to backfire down the line on even the most sincere efforts.

Umm, I mean, umm…
According to the state department (courtesy of Wikipedia; so it must be true.) 50,000 people are brought into the U.S. each year for the purpose of sex exploitation. So the need for clever, celebrity-driven public service announcements is indeed dire. I'm skeptical that there are more victims of…

Didn't "Network" get maligned somewhere in these very pages as one of those films that has not aged well? Which I thought was very, very wrong. It's smart and mucho entertaining.

There are 28 "best podcasts" this week?
This list includes apparently every podcast remotely relevant to people who read the AVClub. A little culling might be helpful.

I Googled Harold Baines, so OK, I know he's a ball player. But what is a "Harold Baines folder?"

"How to Have Fun with Billy Bob teeth" could not possibly be a real video.

"End of the Century"
"End of the Century" is indeed an important part of the Ramones canon. It's also one of the most depressing documents ever made with the possible exception of that list that guy Schindler made.

Mr. Walt Disney
I know the Disney corporation is a scary monolith, deserving every bit of scorn appropriate for scary monoliths and all that, but the "Uncle Walt was anti-semitic" meme is way overdue for retirement. It's been widely debunked and its persistence is a bit obnoxious even if you frame it as a joke. Walt…

Thanks for the update…
..or as I like to call it: "List of Worst Animated Cartoon Ideas Ever."

@dZed EBN was an amazing live act that really was ahead of its time.

Condolences
My heart goes out to her husband Rip Taylor.

"It's better to burn out, than to fade away…"
Scott Tobias seems determined to damn Highlander with faint, begrudging praise. "Showily directed" is OK in my book if the director has something to show. And all those years ago, Highlander had a great, fresh look. It was kinetic and flashy in a way that was yet to be…

I don't get it
I can't understand how someone could profess an interest or curiosity about a movie and not indulge themselves and just watch the damn thing.
