Yeah that wasn't a specific example, I was just trying to think of a famous married person and a glance at Bradley Cooper's wikipedia ruled him out.

Oh yeah, but I'm more referring to the "Preventing Channing Tatum and his wife from having a nice private meal and shouting insipid questions about his projects at him" variety of pestering.

I have heard (and not researched myself, which is why I'm saying it like this) that when they are breaking a scandalous story they make sure their proof for it is ironclad because they would be the most likely organization to be sued into the ground for libel/slander/whatever.

Thanks The Edge!

The song itself is pretty boilerplate southern black woman acceptance, which is actually a hot political opinion for a mainstream pop singer to hold unfortunately. The video is much more pointed and BLM/Katrina centered.

Not that the dropped-overnight album wasn't dope, but I have to confess that I still think she peaked at Crazy in Love. That breakdown after Jay-Z's verse gets me pumped every single time. Everything since then has been a solid B+ or worse with a usually cool video.

Yay a thread where everybody gets an imaginary strawman to argue against

Yeah thanks for the recommendations. Kundun caught my eye when I was looking at which of his movies I've seen and obviously I need to see Bull/Driver/etc. to have an informed opinion.

I am going to paraphrase something someone smarter than me had to say about this:

I actually kind of prefer that. Bad-era Saul was no Boyd Crowderesque master of oratory, he was just incredibly quick witted and good at getting amoral paranoid monsters to trust him. I don't think we're supposed to think Jimmy is a great public speaker, he's just very good at disarming people and getting them to like…

Yeah you're right, a Newsroom comparison is too much.

I'm not a Marty fan but if I was one your comment would make me reconsider it.

Eh, Woj is hit or miss for me, he gets good guests but he tends to answer his own questions as he's asking them, which can be annoying. I'm not there for his insights and theories about being a basketball player, I want to hear it from the players. Lowe has a different problem, where he is so unbelievably awkward his…

It is amazing to me that despite this show being about fleshing out one of the broadest supporting characters from Breaking Bad, there was never a single moment in the first season that felt like he was a different character. Part of that is a holdover from the nuanced character work of BB that showed a little of his…

You should go back and give it another look. The whole point of that show was ultimately to show people and their society changing despite themselves. By the end of the show it's purposely showing all the real, negative effects of all that drinking, smoking, and sexual repression and it always feels earned and never…

God damnit you're supposed to overreact and get in a snark fight with me, now how am I going to blow off work?

I live in Kasich's Ohio. There are worse options on both sides, especially fiscally and on redistricting, but he's a smug fuck who's more socially conservative then he acts and is twiddling his thumbs while abortion rights disintegrate in his state.

I like this new meme where 538 has jumped the shark because it isn't anointing Bernie Sanders the perfect unbeatable Democratic nominee after he won a state a blind newborn could have predicted him winning.

I kind of just always assumed Paul Rust and Neil Campbell were together.

When the night is thickest is the worst time for your ex-wife to be on her way to your house to argue about alimony payments (especially when your current wife is at the house).
