Aaaaand you think the Americans who saw fit to invade these areas didn't think of themselves as racially superior? I recognize that most people of any color who pushed the frontier westward were looking to live free lives and escape various kinds of persecution, whether it was racism or government intrusion or…

The question of whether this is an entirely virtual reality, or if it's a physical place needs answered, but if it's a real place, a guest could murder another guest in a non-gun-related way: push them off a cliff, hit them with a rock, etc.

I've never seen anyone so able to telegraph when they're going to drop the f-bomb. It's almost impressively bad acting.

A question the show is going to have to address at some point: can a guest recognize another guest, and more importantly, if a guest "kills" a guest in the park, what happens in real life?

I have grave concerns for the black family that was just wandering around in the wilderness. There doesn't seem to be the same inherent ethnocentrism in the park that probably existed in the actual Wild West, but still.

I think the idea is that the robots follow the same general course every day, so that their actions and interactions can be, on some level, relatively predictable for the park managers. Dolores and this guy are romantically involved, and so the way a guest interacts with either one is going to be colored by that…

If the premise truly is "malfunction turns an amusement park murderous," I'm curious as to how the park will reach that point, considering that the Man in Black was shot four or five times by one of the robots with no ill effects. If the host's sentience somehow overrides the park's programming, that would be a very…

I really can't even imagine how many extraneous utterances of the N-word would have been in Quentin Tarantino's Luke Cage.

Like D'Angelo, I always want to see this movie "One Mo' 'Gin."

Yes and no. Where Lecter was all manners and worked his conversations carefully to get into people's heads, John Doe is more of the smarmy, smarter-than-you type, I always thought.

"Go back to Jersey, sonny. This is the City of the Angels, and you haven't got any wings."

That one didn't really come out of nowhere, though. Once it was made known that those guys had stolen from Sam Jackson's boss, it was pretty clear that something bad was going to happen.

That whole "everyone-gets-shot-in-the-head" sequence really took me out of the movie while watching Departed. By the time Anthony Anderson got offed, I was laughing out loud.

"Sorry, just one more thing I wanted to mention, Lester: f*** Rosie O'Donnell, amirite?"

This is hands-down the only debate where both Howard Stern and Rosie O'Donnell were brought up.

As a musician, what I find compelling about them is their willingness to explore. That, however, combined with too many drugs meant they definitely hit a lot of wrong notes along the way, but knowing that they went out there every night without a planned setlist and managed to conjure up some real musical magic at…

I love this rework of 'Castlevania' music by Dibiase. It's not on his EP, "Up the Joystick," but I highly recommend checking that out as well. It's got joints that use music from Super Mario Bros., Tetris, Mega Man and more. A fine piece of work. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Agree 100% on Apocalypto. Even his dive into noir-y pulp action, Payback, is sneaky good, and funny to boot.

Jeffrey Wright springs to mind. Anyone who can play the buttoned-up, conflicted lawyer in Syriana but also the batshit-goofy Peoples in the Samuel L. Jackson Shaft movie has my full attention: "This shirt is Eeeyiptian cotton, muddafuck. Two-twenty-tres. Das like half you shiddy-azz paycheck."

I think "What I Got" has already gotten the "Hatesong" treatment.
