His name is Dennis Haysbert, and he is an amazing, underrated actor - see “Far From Heaven.”

That stuck with me, too - his prior jobs require a level head and an even temper. Alcohol alone doesn’t account for something like this.

Add to that the fact that Republicans in Congress in key positions (I am thinking specifically of Chaffetz) would rather investigate a tweet from a national park to a new national monument than the potential interference in the US elections by a foreign power. In other words, with the executive branch going off the…

For what it’s worth, “Ballot #2” in THR’s article is actually thoughtful and reasonable. (“Ballot #3”, on the other hand, is ... well, it is what it is.)

Zoolander 2 is the absolute worst. Avoid at all costs.

Or Scorsese, with his Oscar for the Departed, instead of [Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, etc.].

Or Titanic winning over L.A. Confidential.

It’s at least greater than 0 because I’ve read interviewes with Oscar voters (may have been part of the same THR series) where they say things like, I haven’t seen the film, but I’ll vote for it anyway.

Even if you mean US major studio output only, the answer is still yes, just looking over Best Picture nominees (let alone great films that were ignored). There’s even a truly good Tom Cruise action flim: Edge of Tomorrow.

I’m sort-of cross-posting myself, but it’s probably because the states that actually legalised marijuana are mostly blue (other than Alaska and Nevada).

Too lazy to look them up, but, if memory serves, most of the states that have legalised (as opposed to just decriminalised) marijuana are blue states; the exceptions are Alaska and Nevada. Wouldn’t be surprised if DoJ didn’t prioritise those two...

Considering that Trump insulted Cruz’s wife, and Cruz [after brief posturing] endorsed and campaigned for Trump, I keep hoping we’ll read about his impending divorce. I am not usually invested in strangers’ personal lives, but in this case...

All the stars for you. We need more Dead Kennedys in these dark times.

I can’t believe I’m about to defend Bieber, but people involved in signing him thought he was massively talented. Too much money too soon, awful parents, early fame...

This isn’t new for the GOP. See: Reagan, “I don’t recall”, Iran-contra.

Russia also has Europe’s largest Muslim population.

How does that quote go? “Reality has a well-known liberal bias.”

No. NYC went 79% for HRC; you are thinking of New York State.

Eh, the actual Bond character is fairly posh (and attends Eton, however briefly). But your basic point stands and that photo is priceless.

Starring for non-Ballroom-Blitz Sweet. We need all the musical interludes we can get these days...
