great episode.

Scream 4 is probably the best horror movie of the 2000s that no one except me likes, and she's great in it.

He's basically Secretary of State Bill Clinton.

Well, sure, I feel sympathy. Just the same way I feel sympathy for the veteran, near the end-of-the-line football player who has to workout for a team before he gets a non-guaranteed contract. Doesn't mean I feel the team has to sign them, or the casting director has to hire them.

I don't know what to say, except that you seem to think an actor's level of sex appeal shouldn't have anything to do with his or her being cast. I can't agree.

Pardon me, but "mansplained" and "paradigm," aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important?

This was a general casting call, not for her particularly.

If you're an actor, a model, a pornstar, or a professional wrestler, yes, people can demand to see what you look like before they hire you.

I don't really feel sorry for her. Her agent's supposed to be trying to work with studios and get her auditions, while she's publicly sabotaging his efforts? What did she think would happen?

Degrees aren't useless, if they're in something practical as opposed to abstract. I want my electrical engineers, my doctors, my lawyers, my teachers to have gone through some sort of study. Liberal artists, on the other hand, aren't being well served by believing $200K is a good investment.

I'd be snide, but it's not like this is any worse of an investment that a liberal arts degree.

It'd be like Strangers with Candy, but with Spider-Man. I'd watch it.

Your point is nonsensical. Schindler, in the film, buys shells at the cost of his personal fortune (that he's made profiteering) to replace the defective shells. It's his way of gumming up the Nazi machine. While putting no one at risk. Your objection is bad, and you should feel bad about it.

Some people seem to think that revolting against the popular is a sign of intellectualism. They're wrong.

Yeah, this. The point of Schindler's List is that good can occur even in the midst of atrocity. That individual goodness can make a difference, and so we should try to be good. Only the weird, pathetic underbelly of pseudo-intellectualism has tried to find fault with that.

I didn't see it any more critical of American foreign policy than it was of the Pakistani military. Maybe I have blinders on, but I just don't see it as any more than farce at this point.

He's a funny guy. Check out High Fidelity, Tropic Thunder, School of Rock, or any Tenacious D. He's got a complete and total manic energy that, at the very least, brings energy to bad movies.

1941, come on
