Totally agree with you - there are few things more irritating than people's natural smugness about all of law. (See: All of the novels and movies where a character has to take the law into their own hands because someone forgot to read someone their Miranda rights and those liberal wusses want to let them out on the

Gamefly has… deteriorated. Long delays, few copies of the games you actually want. It's a mess.

Speaking of: Did they explain why there were no normal female inmates in Arkham City, even among the political prisoners?

Well, there's the part where the Joker put his poisoned blood into all of the people in Gotham, so without getting the cure for Joker in the first half and from him in the second, hundreds would still die.

In a different way, the updated version is just as creepy.

I liked the narrator, but I'm not that interested in another game with a pretty similar hook, and from the Giant Bomb video it looks like he is.

Bajorans are closer to the space version of the actual Jewish culture (I also thought throughout the first Hobbit that you could read the dwarves the same way) but the Ferengi are the space version of anti-Semitic stereotypes of Jews.

I just moved in with two guys who had an indie rock band that was signed to a major label for a while, and I am just astonished how little they actually know about rock music. I mean, it was one thing when they didn't know who Ornette Coleman was, being a different genre and all, but an indie rock band who doesn't

That all being said, his stand-up isn't bad. It's basically all crowd work, and it's pretty impressive.

For me, it irritates me that Hodgman and Jesse constantly rag on guests for being pompous and nerdy, when they are both incredibly pompous and incredibly nerdy. I like them both, but I think the only difference between them and most of the guests is the fact that they have a podcast.

Graham is so likable that he manages to make Dave likable just by being near him. It's incredible.

I hate the way he says that so much. I remember him doing it a lot when I (forever ago) listened to NNF, and it seemed like a way to recenter the attention on himself after someone else makes a joke.

Well, actually, it's the third sequel to the Amityville Horror, but we can talk about where Death Bed fits in the Amityverse.

My favorite King line, which I quote constantly, is when he describes the congregation in Needful Things as singing in "beautiful one-part Baptist harmony."

Can anyone comment on the legality of this? I was under the impression you had to have restrooms open to all occupants of your building, including the public if you are open to them, but I'm not a lawperson.

Hehe, we once brought a friend to rage by insisting that Coldplay weren't alternative. He had to take a walk to "cool off" afterwards. We were fun people to be around, let me tell you.

I believe there is a book that has an illustration of what is happening on every page of Gravity's Rainbow. I don't think that would be possible with a novel that doesn't encourage visualization.

I like this movie a lot, but at this point I've seen it three times as part of three different classes, and I'm getting a little saturated with it.

Yeah, Jesus Christ, that may be the most ridiculous claim about a medium I've ever heard in a review.

Speaking of TC Boyle: Can anyone suggest a couple of his novels? I've started a couple and never made it past 50 pages.
