@Jim Topoleski: Yeah... true feminism is tossing out the fourth cheeseburger related comment thus far... congrats!

@Spaceman Bill Leah: Explain the game long full court press? Was it also a good decision to go completely cutthroat and steal the ball before they even get it upcourt when they're up 80-0? Does anybody here actually think about how horrific a 100-0 in junior high basketball must look? It's not just a blow out, it's a…
@Lymed: If what "you believe in" is trouncing -as badly as possible - another team that is clearly nowhere near the same league as you, from a special needs school with VERY low attendance (and not much of a pool to pull a competitive team from) and THEN proclaiming in the press how happy you are about destroying said…
@margareita1: Jamón Jamón, Carne Trémula, Abre Los Ojos, Todo Sobre Mi Madre, Volver, Vicky Christina Barcelona... granted, her best performances and her best films tend to be her Spanish work, but I tend to blame that on the general crappiness of Hollywood films. I loved Vicky, but even that is at least set in…
@exelizabeth: I KNEW IT!!! Finally, validation.
@morninggloria: Haha!
@Shannon: Yeah... haha. Also, I would like to point out that I just checked the mail and am pleased to report the brand new Criterion Blu Ray edition of Man Who Fell To Earth has arrived via netflix. I now have a plan for the night.
@R.S.: Yeah! It's not like it's a good book or anything... I don't see why this is so hard to fathom.
@LaComtesse: I think you probably just had to have played sports or understand them more. I was in drama and did sports in high school. The situations really aren't comparable even if they seem like they might be.
@LaComtesse: The thing is, in this case and cases like this, it's not a game. Can you imagine what a 100-0 game looks like? It's essentially like watching pro basketball players beat up on grade schoolers. It's just gross. In sports, when something is that much of a mismatch, you take it easy. You pull your starters.…
@paxetaurora: Yeah. Agree... Guns are the least of my concern.
@MyNameIsChris: "Their" cocks. Those I'm sure they're cocks as well.
@tiredfairy: Yeah, we just don't agree, and that's fine. For the record, I think Kevin Smith sucks too. But he tends to appear in his films, and is a director as well as writer. That's helped him become a somewhat known figure who can show up on talk shows. He's not simply an untalented screenwriter, though he IS…
@rmj12345: I think she had the twee indie comedy screenplay of the year, as I said. There's one every year these days. I personally did not like Juno, but it still remains to be seen if she can grow and do something else. Her TV show seems to be awful. I guess I just can't work up much sympathy for, what I see to be,…
@la.donna.pietra: It's not THAT unusual... in fact, Michael Arndt won the same award, the year before, for HIS first screenplay - which was the twee indie comedy hit of THAT year, Little Miss Sunshine. He also has an interesting story, being Matthew Broderick's assistant prior to selling that screenplay. But, you…
@Jessi Ramsey: She may receive this reaction because of the patriarchy... but she only receives ANY attention because of the stripping. Sure... it's a shame, but it's also true that you don't really see ANY screenwriters (including those far more experienced, varied in style and talented than her) on talk shows. She…
@Your Screenplay Sucks: Pretty much. Well... that AND an opportunity to watch Fincher jack off to Brad Pitt for three hours.
@Samanthrax: Haha! Maybe... I just thought the direction was fairly middling, the editing was extremely typical and textbook... the movie was content to play it safe in every moment, aside from Ledger. Two Face was handled strangely... they chose the wrong ending going back to him, when the true climax should have…
@murphygreen: Harsh, but I somewhat agree. I think Jenkins was deserving as well. I also don't think the world of The Dark Knight but felt it was a somewhat mediocre year. The nominated movies were all somewhat decent, nothing as bad as there usually is... but nothing really great. The Wrestler is pretty much the only…
