That's not true. Before my daughter was born, everyone told me to make sure I had enough diapers. And that, when I had enough, I still needed WAY MORE.

I liked Nazi Simmons, though. It that form, it wasn't really making fun of Nazis, it was making fun of how inane Simmons' take on things tend to be.

Pity sex then?

I'd rather not talk about it…

He's always been a douche. I remember watching Project Greenlight when they were making The Battle of Shaker Heights, and he was a fucking prick. I remember thinking, "Well, he's nothing like Even Stevens in real life." I was a teenager then and the thought that actors were fuckfaces who were nothing like the…

Yeah, good points.

The first sentence to my last post wasn't directed toward you. I was just pointing out that even if you're right, to certain members of the general public, a man with mental illness is less redeemable than Chris Brown.

So a celebrity causing no harm to anyone but himself is still less redeemable than beating a woman.

The Biggie thing is odd, man. Even in NOTORIOUS, where they cleaned up a lot of the dirt of his life, he still came across as a selfish, greedy, narcissistic, slimy psychopath. And people still talk about him as if he were a saint.

Eh, Tom Cruise never really recovered from the Couch Jumping incident. Which I think brings up a good point. In our culture, jumping on a couch to celebrate your love of a woman is less forgivable than beating the shit out of a woman.

I think we've actually proven this. In the immediate aftermath of the Rihanna beating, people were refusing to book him for interviews on both TV and Radio and no one, surprisingly, was buying his shitty album that had just come out.

Ghostbusters, Rocky, Caddyshack, The Godfather.

The album was pretty good, though. Oh, well.

I've enjoyed this season well-enough. Hell, I've even defended it against the naysayers. But I've missed the past two episodes and don't feel any immediate desire to watch them on my DVR anytime soon. That says a lot….

Exactly. The first half of the movie is really a testament to all that MNS is capable of doing: creating tension, sustained atmosphere, subtle, psychological terror. The second half revealed the worst of his tendencies and he hasn't looked back since.

I also liked it, but was disappointed with the regression of Tony Stark as a character.

Good to see Emmerich getting some love. I think his performance this year is some of the best work I've ever seen on television.

My problem with that movie is that it worked just fine as a "monsters periodically invade 19th century settlement" movie. It didn't work quite as well as a "21st century adults with PTSD force kids to live in a 19th century settlement by scaring them with monsters, thereby giving their own kids PTSD" movie.

For sure. This movie, when viewed as objectively as possible, is better than most movies. Again, it's not a perfect movie, there are problems with the tone and while I would disagree with the assertion, I could see how some people would see it as a "sociopathic" movie. But to give it a "D" rating is absurd.

Again, I would agree with that. I still think, particularly if one hadn't read the articles, that it would be a use of 2 hours that people wouldn't particularly regret. I also think Bay's intention with the tone was something approaching satire, but since he's Bay, and not, say, the Coens, it comes off a little…
