it's not a movie, but Bobby Cannevale in "Boardwalk Empire". You know the scene. He's coming down the hall with a collar around his neck .... There's something about that man I purely admire.

my best friend, the looker, and I were walking past a line getting on a Philadelphia bus and there was a guy. He swung in right behind my friend, who was talking to someone else. She looked back, told him to beat it, and went back to talking to our other friend. She didn't see what I did: he inched closer, muttering…

Mike Tyson. Jimmy Page. Errol Flynn. R. Kelly.

Oh, the "allow a great artist his art" argument. No. You can't unknow what you know. Having once known he's raped, you can't hear "Noah" without wondering, "Ham's wife, come help the old man carry a bucket of nails out of the hold."

There was nothing the previous poster said that rated an insult. If perhaps you had asked why the previous poster had said that, the reply might have been that the vast majority of serial killers, with very few exceptions, hunt within their own racial group, according to the extensive research studies published by…

The mother-in-law thing. I can't believe this is still going around. Yes, some women are difficult, and you have to learn how to adjust to them. Seriously, you should have figured this out before the wedding, when she would have been at her worst, if she had what you would consider a worst. My mother-in-law is a…

Mormon states.

the same here. I love to see the permutations writers come up with!

As others have explained, Koko is more than capable of feeling grief, joy—as when she got another kitten to raise, need—she has been expressing a wish for a child for some time, sorrow—at least to rejection by two prospective mates. Gorillas and other primates mourn their dead young, as do elephants. There is a…

Ah! I hadn't been following that one. I cut my eyeteeth on Stirling's post-Apocalyptic fiction, starting with the Fifth Millennium series back in the 1980s—those were more straight sci fi, the Draka books alt history, and the Nantucket books alt history, but all with the focus of what does our society do when you…

I'm going to read the first three chapters at least, though I know they will scare the shit out of me even more than the introductory material has done, for the same reasons I read Strieber and Kunetka's NATURE'S END (in this vein) and WARDAY; Pournelle and Niven's LUCIFER'S HAMMER; Kobe Abe's INTER ICE AGE 4; King's…

I must be one of the few people in the universe who both didn't mind "the Kennedys" and, for the first time, got an idea of what this woman's life was like with that family and a sense of who she was under the porcelain exterior. I think she did a good job with the part.

this gent isn't a moron—he's a Grade A, número uno, USDA Choice stalker psychopath, looking for a woman with the least flaw in her fortress wall. One crack, one bit of uncertainty, and this creeper will be following you down the street, offering his "compliments" and "courtesies" until you've made the one move or…

Truly, my dears, did you expect any different? It's Florida, where they have monsters in the swamps.

At a *funeral*. At a FAMILY FUNERAL.

I think ol' Rushbo has been doing `way too many substances for `way too many years. It's time to find him a nice assisted living community with gates that lock from the outside and no access to broadcast technology.

What I have to say won't do E.R. any good, unless she wants confirmation that she was raped when she was 16, even if she thinks she consented and he is pressuring her to say it was statutory (if it was statutory, why is he pressuring her to say so?). From what I read, she was raped and abused for years.

Given the lousy treatment Native Americans get in this country, the change of a football team's name is the absolute least that could be done as a beginning to treat them like human beings.

I wonder if Rambold's defense attorneys have daughters.
