Hey fuck you! His comments are a fine-tuned machine!

Democrats have the infrastructure. Easier to just hack into that. I'm not patiently reinventing the wheel while Trump and the corrupt GOP run riot.

We have to threaten to primary them while we are protesting the right. Like the tea party did to the GOP. They need to be more scared of their truly progressive constituents than the pollsters in their head.

My idea of heaven is spending eternity with Maura Tierney whispering stories about Chrisopher Walken in my ear.

Gillian Anderson's face next to 'Grade: D' broke my brain. Does not compute.

I'm happy 'Boardwalk' is finishing up this season because it feels like a more focused show now that the end is in sight. My only regret is that we didn't get more of Michael Stuhlbarg's magnificent Rothstein, or more of George Remus's story (it's pretty incredible—look it up on Wikipedia or watch the Ken Burns…

'Bruce Willis was a barman, John Goodman was the doorman, Eddie O’Neill was a bartender, and (Dan Lauria) washed dishes in the back'

You are a credit to your tribe, sir.

Steve Buscemi must be pretty offended at the hugeness of little-Nucky's prosthetic teeth, right? I know, he's getting paid pretty well, but jeez-louise.

except that 'Bigger than Life' actually does seem to pin all of the protagonists' problems on cortisone injections— James Mason's character is clearly suffering from an illness, not amoral. The subtext may be critical of 'The Amerian Dream', but the characters are all very sympathetic in my recollection. And Blue…

I'd say 'Noir' is a quality that non-noir films can certainly display, but a 'Film Noir' is part of a fairly specific genre. Not in a zillion years would I qualify 'Bigger than Life' as a film noir. I'd say it's a melodrama for sure.

not that there's anything wrong with that…

Oh give it up, Kenigsburg. Your selective reading of Chamenton and Borde's definition of film noir is hopelessly vague— 'oneiric, strange, erotic, ambivalent and cruel' is ludicrously broad as a definition— and anyone who discusses film with any regularity would agree that 'film noir' is a genre. Even if it started…

That truly was my favorite GOP ticket ever: Smug-Dad-From-Every-50's-Sitcom and his running mate, Bad-Guy-Preppie-From-Every-80s-Movie.

You had me at 'Maura Tierney'.

Yeah, I don't mean any disrespect towards Ms. Hooks, just speaking as a red-blooded nerd who grew up with her on SNL…. Someone elsewhere on the thread compared her to Madeleine Kahn, and I think that's an apt comparison. Both were the whole impossible package of funny, talented, and fiiiiiiiiiine.

Jan Hooks was terrific, one of my favorite SNL cast members, and she triggered lil' Sex Goblin's puberty when he saw that shot of her in 'Batman Returns'. You know the one.

Ghostbusters is not a 'world', or a 'mythos'. It was a goofy high-concept movie that just happened to channel the talents of the most brilliant ensemble of comedic actors/writers/directors ever assembled, collaborating at the top of their game. There's no source material to draw stories from, and no chance that you…

Correction: Men in Tights is also completely wretched.
