Drew blew all the rational-person-in-a-sea-of-lunatics goodwill he had built over the season with that mustache. That's the real reason Zeek died.

I was thinking Brando first, but wasn't sure if On the Waterfront won Best Picture. Changed my mind to Nicholson, thinking he was Best Actor for Terms of Endearment.

I immediately thought of the AV Club when, after announcing Jimmy and Ayla won, only Jimmy got the talking head. I was skeptical last week, but no longer.

I've been tracking my scores for years and they've been a lot lower than average over the last week. I finished at -600 yesterday, the worst I've done as long as I've been playing along.

Anyone else immediately recognize the story referred to as The Lottery, but completely blank on the author? I'm mad at myself.

I'm baffled by Final Jeopardy. Arthur obviously knew how much he needed to bet for the win and chose not to do it. What he lacks in charm, he makes up for with sheer competence. Either that was head-pattingly condescending to Carolyn, or he's a saboteur who broke Jeopardy and cost them an extra $24k.

Wish I could take credit, but that's how he always referred to himself in that movie. Glad you enjoyed it.

I understand the strategy, but it bugs the shit out of me when contestants skip all over the board hunting for Daily Doubles, like Arthur was doing. The way he kept talking over Alex and apparently bolted out of the dressing room before they were finished didn't do him any favors in the likability department either. …

He's also one of the many great things in The Assassination of Jesse James as Dick Liddell with two D's. He deserved better on Parks and Rec.

So happy to see Neckbone moving up in the world.

My college roommate, with whom I didn't get along, died in a drunk driving accident a month into our freshmen spring semesters. There was zero overlap between my friends and his friends. I could acknowledge the tragedy of a 19-year old kid dying suddenly, but that was as deep as my feelings went. It was essentially…

Stands up and slaps the table, clearly angry. You, Drifter, you are absolutely right.

Kiss me, Grizz!

They're my skeptical godfathers. though like you say, they have their blind spots. Thankfully, I've moved on to Skeptic's Guide to the Universe and Science Based Medicine, but credit where's it due.

You could be on to something. This is the second time they've brought up child molestation, the other being Morty's sister's boyfriend talking about how his older brother made him feel like a girl in the bushes. It could just be on the writers' minds in general, since the dynamic is an old man and a young boy, but…

LOOK AT ME!

Wolf's characters are nearly all cancers and/or garbage people, yes. I even clapped when Belfort talks about one character's destination after he left the movie. I think the difference comes down to tone. Scorsese hates his characters and makes them cartoonishly insane, while Russell likes his characters and tries…

Schilling was my guess, and all I know about baseball comes from cultural osmosis.

That does sound harsh, but during the scream fight between Bale and Lawrence, because I realized I either didn't care about or hated all the characters, except for Jeremy Renner. Just like Hangover 2, which Renner was also great in. He was that Thai ladyboy, right?

Pretty much how I feel about Hustle. A nothing film beyond its considerable style. Actively unpleasant for long stretches, and not 12 Years a Slave unpleasant. More like Hangover 2 unpleasant.
