Your take on the alcoholism in the movie is just nuts. I just watched it a few days ago, and all within a few minutes of screen time, Wendy tells the doctor Jack dislocated Danny's shoulder when he came home drunk, and Jack tells Ullman he doesn't drink anymore because he has a drinking problem. Then later on it's…

Bill Kristol's obviously kidding. And yet his arguments bear a passing resemblance to Wolfowitz's "greeted as liberators" line and the WS's own Iraq pablum, so, you know, not THAT funny, Bill. Because, as we found out, Iraq, like Alderaan, really DIDN'T have weapons (of mass destruction).

Yes. This article just took the most severe statistic relative to the number of women raped and the most liberal statistic relative to the number of men raped, and directly compared them.

Yeah. I had no issue with that choice since deformed Ripley has acid blood. It was unclear why the scientists would have left that experiment alive once they had achieved their goals with the Ripley who birthed the alien.

I watched Alien Resurrection last night. Amazing how consistent Whedon's been: his Riply was a proto-River Tam, being experimented on and used by a government cabal, leaving her with a morally ambiguous disposition and heightened senses and strength. Also defined by being the mother of the alien queen. He disavows the…

Head-desk. I like parts of this article, but it has two key problems. One, it doesn't recognize that if a person who is not a Star Wars fan listens to you complain about Ewoks, unless you have lots of other praise, they are going to reasonably assume you probably DON'T like the movie. They are going to assume at…

Yikes. Yes, there are a few lines in the song that out of context could come off wrong — like blaming a guy for not having a car - and you could argue that it implies catcalling is most distressing when people without nice cars and clothes are responsible, because the singer finds them sexually invisible. So in that…

Yes. This. The concerts are great.

He definitely dealt with his share of lunatics. I think it's been more or less confirmed that the guy who asked him about the cover of Highway 61 in the famous 1965 b&w press conference is also the guy who called into a news program years later pretending to be the Zodiac during the killings.

Yes, and it's also probably the most raw he's ever been on record. He originally was going to put "Nobody 'Cept You" in that slot on the album, and wrote "Wedding Song" in a rush. I'm glad we have "Nobody 'Cept You" on the Bootleg Series, but "Wedding Song" is so revealing and naked, the album needed it.

Apparently Poulter got the part by showing up to his screen test dressed as a hobo and offering to blow the casting director for a dime; fifteen cents for overtime. Afterward, the director said, "You really brought that scene in the book to life."

James Ellroy could accuse him of stealing pieces of the LA Quartet and remixing them.

Maybe I'm the only one thinking this, but I assume that Frank guessed they were going to kill him. They asked for his suit since he was about to be covered in blood.

Repeating myself, but I think Frank jumped the guy not because of the diamonds, but because he assumed they wanted him to take his coat off before shooting him so it wouldn't be ruined. He took it as a sign they were going to execute him, is how I read it

Huh, I think that Frank jumped the guy because he guessed that they we're going to execute him right there. That's why they wanted him to take his suit off — he was about to be covered in blood. There was no logic. Frank was dead when he split from Ray, his only true ally. And Ray — well, I have some practical…

Saw this movie last year. I bet Scott Eric Kaufman could do a fun segment on how the shot set ups make us FEEL that Wilson's character is the desperate prey we identify with, whereas the basic plot cuts against that perception, creating a really visceral and uncomfortable dissonance. I didn't want Page to to "win"…

Thank you, yes, I never understood the disappointment with that mystery. It was pretty clearly a take on the 80s mania about devil worshipping child abusers with powerful friends, except that he made them Yellow King worshippers because detail and specificity is good fiction 101.

Wow, that is an excellent catch.

It needs to be said in no in no uncertain terms. Taylor Kitsch calling his own mother a "cooze" is one of the most uncomfortable things the show - any show! - has ever done. I don't care how angry you are at your mother. You don't do that. I don't mean morally; I mean literally, I think even men who've killed…

Yes. That many people die in a shoutout and I would say DoJ is looking for reasons to get involved and each of those cops is less well known as Darren Wilson, but still have their faces all over TV.
