I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time in over a decade. I forgot how marvelous that movie was. Howe, even with the wide expanses of space, everything felt so claustrophobic. The plot is incredible, and the stuff with HAL is unnerving. Even at the end of HAL, when Dave is uplugging his higher functions and

Same here, which made it especially funny that Joel McHale was the guest on the show tonight.

Reality House was the high point in an episode full of greatness. I recognized some of the contestants from their clips on The Soup, and the way that it all just got more absurd as things just stayed the same was amazing.

His Giamatti voice was dead on. When my wife didn't have her glasses on, of a brief second, she thought it was actually him. Everything about that was beautiful.

Heh. I never did the double sleepover thing, but one night when I was 13 and my parents were coming home from Vegas at 4:00 AM, I got blackout drunk with my brother's friends. I somehow managed to convince them I was really sick with the flu and didn't have to go to school the next morning due to the hangover. When I

I'd never wear skinny jeans anyway. I don't care what the style of the day is, I still wear bell bottoms. I am back down to the size I was in high school, so good thing I hoarded my clothes and still have 15-year-old elephant bells from when I was a teenager.

Haha. My Busia felt guilty when she learned about the genetic component, that it may have been from her side, and she gave me a card with a $50 bill in it and told me to "buy something pretty" when I can fit my giant leg into normal clothing again. That's the only not terrible thing to emerge from this so far: fifty

I love those too, as I love all Floyd before Waters in Gilmore went their separate ways. But there's something about the way he expresses his derision in Animals that is unlike anything in any of the other albums. Gilmore has the better voice of the too on a purely aesthetic level, but I appreciate Waters' manic

Upvoted for Pink Floyd-Dogs. That's my favorite song from the best album they ever did.

I know all of your focus is on him, but it may help you a little bit just to see a therapist and sort your feelings out on the matter. It did a world of wonder for my parents when they found out. Either way, I again am so sorry that this happened to your son, and I hope that he can find a way to heal from this

My goodness, that is fucking terrible. As someone who is an abuse survivor, I would suggest that you need to get him into some counseling ASAP, if he isn't in it already. Perhaps counseling for yourself as well. I am so sorry that this happened to your son.

Still have this stupid awful blood clot. Saw the doctor, turns out that it is a chronic clot. It's from the back of my knee to my groin. My calf is a little less swollen, but my thigh is just as swollen as it was when I was in the hospital last week, and it still hurts like a bitch. I walk with a gigantic limp, just

He is? He wasn't in the first episode. Perhaps that will make it more worth my while, since I do love him as an actor. I'd watch anyway though, because Showtime sucks me in like that. Shit, I stuck with Dexter from 2006 until the awful end.

So Nurse Jackie wasn't objectively terrible this week. She even seems to be facing consequences in the opener. She went to jail, is facing trafficking charges, can't see her kids, and lost her job. Who knows, this final season may not totally suck!

It is very possible. Perhaps she was trying to fix some aesthetically that was broken in her emotionally. Which is sad, because she's such a beautiful woman. I can't imagine the kind of loss she felt from that, especially after the kids started calling Katie Holmes "mom". At least Katie Holmes is paying Cruise back

She was pretty unknown as an actress then, too. She just did bit parts here and there. To be starring in a David Lynch pilot-turned-movie after only having tiny parts here and there had to have been such an amazing experience for her as an actress. And of course, she knocked it out of the park.

I want to know so much about that marriage, and how she feels about the fact that the kids she adopted with Tom don't even call her "mom" anymore.

Season nine is awesome. I think it is better than probably the last three or four seasons of the show. Everyone is at the top of their game. There is a little less Bubbles focus than usual, but it is still wonderful.

It is one of those movies that I have seen dozens of times, but will still catch whenever it is on, despite the fact that I own the Blu-Ray and DVD. It always makes me feel better. It is so funny, well-written, and full of such interesting characters. It is probably my favorite movie of all time too.

Wait until you get to the burping. It is way more unnerving than the blinking. Not as unnerving as the killing though.
