Highly agree on War for the Planet of the Apes. Honestly, its Best Picture quality. Andy Serkis deserves at least some kind of Special Honorary Oscar for portraying Caesar. Hope it rebounds at the box office, but Dunkirk is going to be heavy competition.

I envy you a little; Hannibal has the best final scene of any show I can think of. I'd love to see it again for the first time.

Well, she's no Benedict Wong. . . . but I like it! I hope Pearl sticks around, too.

Hot take: the Founding Fathers were shitty legal writers.

I think we can go bigger than Macon. Maybe not Sacramento, but, like, Spokane.

This is all true, and I opposed Clinton's policies then and now. But its worth remembering, especially for the Left, that crime rates at the time were insane. It wasn't like today, when crime is at its greatest ebb since 1960. His solutions were incorrect and immoral, but some solutions were necessary. The Left…

Hold up. If Senator Barack Obama had taken the Area 51 time machine from 2006 to 1986, he would have been the most liberal senator of the time. If he'd jumped up a few years, he would have had a couple buddies, like Paul Wellstone. My point being, the US Senate, as a barometer of the Democratic Party, has moved to…

The Clintons are like an ex-girl/boyfriend, where you were really in love, this might be forever, but then it got cold fast, and it ended, but not badly or messily, just abruptly. You know there will never really be a sense of closure, because its too late for that. You wish them well, genuinely, and you're still…

1) Sounds like the artist saw one too many Takashi Murakami exhibitions.
2) you know how that artist died? "It was dehydration from filling up all of those cylinders. I mean, it's how I want to go, but, hey, I'm a little nutty."

I live in Montana, and there is a lot of local culture built around smokejumpers and airtanker pilots. My parents watched this movie a lot while I was growing up.

Yeah, its getting a little cult-y.

The lawyers I work with swear a lot. But they're criminal defense attorneys.

I'm so fucking jealous of you I'm. . . .can't. . . .flames. . . .

Taking victims at their word is good, but there's a difference between "I was assaulted last night/week/month" and "This is what my mom told me happened thirty years ago when I was eight."

They make solid crocs. The appeal is that they're cheap, so easy to replace, and easy to clean. Some people like them for long periods of standing, but that varies person to person.

Sounds like the natural evolution of rock. The Yardbirds evolved into Led Zeppelin, after all.

Do you work in a professional kitchen? If not, then no.

True, but I'd stump for Zach Woods. I think it also has a large cast problem; Richard is the ostensible lead, but the show spends almost as much time with the supporting players. The lines between lead, supporting, and guest are a little blurrier than usual on that show.

I was actually a little surprised Mahershala Ali didn't get nominated for Luke Cage, given his excellence in the role and new stature. Also, @Dinah Might is correct; The Expanse is very good. It was also snubbed in the tech awards.

Silicon Valley was the only show nominated for casting that didn't get an acting nomination. "Great job putting this cast together! Too bad they all suck."
