Not according to the earlier polls. Remember the blue wave? That wasn’t just for the lower house.

Absolutely! Good to see stuff shot in LA and not Vancouver or wherever, too. I didn’t get down there to see all the sets and whatnot, but I follow a Facebook page called Vintage Los Angeles that had a ton of photos. It all looked pretty amazing.

You gotta check out the podcast Omnibus! with Ken Jennings and John Roderick. May not be filthy but damn entertaining and educational.

There is an actual legal difference, but that isn’t it.

I agree that Spiritual Machines is the best and I sort of stop acknowledging anything after Gravity.

There was something about Our Lady Peace that made them stand out to me in a way that the other bands of the genre didn’t. The Toadies were the only other band in the category that I really liked.

Based on all the reports I’ve read recently, Adams truly is an awful person. That said, I wouldn’t say that his behavior re:sudden bright lights is awful. I’ve known people with epilepsy induced by lights, and it’s no joke. Even if it doesn’t provoke a full-seizure, it can cause intense pain. I don’t blame him for…

It’s dark. If you want deep, go rent Donnie Deepo.

Yeah, if someone has legitimately good ideas and talent, most production companies don’t want to burn that person; they want to cultivate a long term relationship with them. No unsolicited scripts policies exist because of the guy who writes an incomprehensible script involving a princess, spaceships, and an exploding…

I vaguely recall a compilation on YouTube with all the reused lines in his TV and movie scripts. I'm not surprised.

FWIW, the quoted passage is from the protagonist’s dream/nightmare, which haunts him afterward. It’s not meant to be realistic.

I can’t wait to see what they do with “Lamb to the Slaughter.”

I’d really recommend the early William Wellman films they have on there, which are super-economical pre-code social-revolution bananas. Heroes for Sale (WWI vet deals with morphine addiction, labor agitation, corporate greed, communism, police brutality, and the Depression) and Wild Boys of the Road (kids in the…

Well since there are five in total and a remake, I can’t argue with that. A mid-period entry at best.

“Walker told me I have AIDS" is one of the greatest going-to-hell moments in late night history

This show felt like it was written on the fly, and wasn’t sure what story it wanted to tell or why. Castle Rock seemed more intent on paying homage than developing its own characters and situations.

Honestly, besides the Easter eggs, I don’t think the story they chose to tell is very King-esque. It’s also very frustratingly told.

Insurrection...well, Insurrection was also a movie.

This is spot on Jobo.
There’s a world of difference between a sexiest/homophobic/racist/transphobic joke and shock humor.
The former is built around stereotypes, attacking an oppressed group and attempts to mock them and often downplays the real-world effect of abuse and violence.
Shock humor gets an uncomfortable laugh…

In addition to a mandatory anti-bias training that all Starbucks employees received on May 29
