Not pictured: My girlfriend saying, “How small is this guy’s dick?”

Yup, the way the show handled this plot was pretty wonderful. Part of growing up includes disappointment, and also figuring out that you’re not the center of the universe. And maybe also actually getting good at something, rather than just goofing off all the time (which, as the article notes, isn’t usually recognized…

Do tell... what is your tale of Boxster-woe? I’ve got a 964 that just ate $7,000 via a new clutch, and a bunch of other things I had been meaning to take care of (for the last several years).

Good call on the emotional manipulation Mendes farms out to his composer’s music. Certainly something that Dunkrik did as well, with Elgar’s music just so ridiculously on-the-nose; a complete hack move from Nolan.

Can I just add to that list of great developments: ‘The Star Wars Prequels Don’t Deserve Your Hatred,’ by Jesse Hassenger?

How about we just present a Lifetime Achievement Award for John Teti’s Project Runway recaps...? (Future TV reviewers - here’s how you write a review)

Yup. You’ve got to have tough skin to be a professional musician.   

Drool...  That’s not playing fair.

Yeah, I just looked it up. I think you’re right!

Thanks for re-igniting my BMW 3.0 CS lust... I’m off to check listings and dream. By the way, I’m pretty sure that one is painted Baltic Blue, which can turn quite grey in certain light conditions, and is pretty difficult to photograph, but those shots look great! I know as I’ve got a MG painted that color.

Do directors have much say over their movie’s trailers? Because that trailer - with it’s cliched bad ass hero walking away from an explosion, blah, blah - was stooooooopid. It effectively said: “Nothing new here.”

I get what you’re saying, but I’m pretty sure the broken windows were just pure incompetence / arrogance in action.

Yup.  I’m sure there is a correlation between this market segment and the inability to do a single pull-up.

When I watch it, I just ignore the beginning narration. That’s when it moves up to A++++++ status.     (a la A Christmas Story)

There’s also a nice write up of this at the Daily Beast.

Just spit-balling here, but for a positive impact on the environment, maybe:

Looks like you’ve got a 2010-2011 Jaguar there. These XK Jags are generally very reliable; the first generation of these topped the JD Power Survey, for whatever that’s worth...

The Daily Beast is reporting that he has lost his £250,000 per annum grant, which I think is part of his walking around money.

I’m just pleased that Pier One offers over-sized signs that read ‘Family’ and ‘Gather’.
