His body of work as a director is like a freshly opened can of fruit salad (with cherries!).

No not really. The real racists are the ones who point out the perceived inferiority of perceived others. I suppose they could be self-aware racists, which I don't know if that makes it better or worse.

Some people just call it advertising.

In fairness to Eastwood, he did a commendable job of humanizing the Japanese and US soliders in his parallel films Flags of Our Fathers / Letters From Iwo Jima. The fact that he chose not to take the same approach with this story may be questioned by some but it probably wasn't an egregious oversight considering his…

Actually, it's not so much a "tradition of war" as it is a set of perceptual biases that contribute to intergroup hostility, which can occur in many different settings.

My Big Dick's This Fat? Haven't heard of it but it sounds beautifully dark, twisted and fantastical.

Just to bring this full circle, the Wu-Tang Name Generator translates "Mohamad Taufiq Morshidi" into "E-ratic Magician".

I just about died when I heard Annie compared Fall Out Boy with the Beastie Boys.

Correction: COPYCAT mainstream sellout show. At least according to the hipsters 30 years from now.

Exactly, which is why Doakes should have apprehended Dexter at the end of S2 and then maybe the show could have ventured into some potentially interesting territory that involved the aftermath of Dexter's reveal, prison life and psychiatric evaluations for another 2-3 seasons. Dexter escaping from jail would have been…
