Biggest evidence yet of a David winner edit — during a strategy conversation, he calmly and expertly splits a coconut with a single chop.

Love ya, Bob, but "I Feel Love" is the shit.

He starred with Julianne Moore in the only play I've ever seen on Broadway, called The Vertical Hour. It was Moore's stage debut, and she was playing a Christiane Amanpour type character — hard-bitten war correspondent post-Iraq invasion, and Nighy was the British history professor father of Moore's boyfriend. So…

Spread the word, Mr. Adams — this is the perfect length for a recap.

Man's got a serious nose problem.

Agree with the editing issues. There were minor but irritating continuity issues throughout — Robert suddenly attaining horror movie villain capacities in his movements at the school, a jarring time jump between Frances' disastrous work proposal and the subsequent phone call. And while I get the technique of a…

I was just introduced to Bresson a couple of years ago (via Filmspotting) and was hooked by the sharp spareness of A Man Escaped and Pickpocket. I've avoided Au Hasard Balthazar to this point, but sooner or later I'll have to take the plunge even though I'm pretty sure it will wreck me.

Season 2 did give us "gross English titty vampire", for which I am forever grateful.

True, that's part of it. But even the better name brands like Samsung will put out a cheaper product that looks like the real thing but has lower res, fewer features, and lesser warranties. Always check the model numbers.

Bret's overall hostility during that TC seemed out of proportion. Compensating for discomfort at having just come out on national television, maybe.

Beware electronics "deals". Manufacturers now do Black Friday production runs with cheaper materials more hurriedly assembled.

I don't know if that was the greatest night of Survivor ever. It might have been. I do know it was the most complete night of Survivor ever. It was the most Survivor that Survivor has ever been. Survivor can't be any more Survivor than that.

Trigger warnings are far less hazardous to the educational mission than safe spaces. There's nothing wrong with content advisories (unless they extend to inanities like "we'll be discussing apples tomorrow"), and a skilled instructor can give them in an atmosphere of general rapport. No, it's the safe spaces where…

buglecall, everybody!

Look how eager you are to pounce. You don't sound like someone who's given the situation a bit of thought.

Is it? I'm drawing on my own memories of high school bathrooms, where I was beaten up, called f*****, stuffed into lockers and pisswater poured on my head. That was just for sexual orientation. You think trans kids would have it easy with this situation, either way? It sucks, either way, being different and in a…

I agree with some aspects of the Lilla column. I believe the Obama
administration erred in threatening to withhold a portion of federal
education funding if schools did not allow transgender students to use
the bathroom corresponding to their gender identity. Not that I'm
against such a requirement, necessarily —…

I've been on that, too.

This week in Survivor real world parallels — Taylor repeatedly tells a Big Lie (Adam helped steal and eat the food). Adam, living in the world we live in now, freaks out because he has internalized the lesson that a Big Lie repeated will be believed and false equivalencies reign supreme.

No, it doesn't. OK, we've reached an impasse, a familiar one. I'd like to see a study of the phenomenon opened up to see if something's there, you want to isolate each discrete occurrence to eliminate the possibility of noticing a trend. One big yes versus a thousand little nos. This I believe to be a matter of…
