If the Cowboys logo was the American flag, I'd probably have to take a knee during the national anthem.

I feel like Cam Newton needs to relinquish his "fashion icon" status after pairing a top hat with a smedium, short-sleeved Bill Cosby sweater.

Really the only thing I've learned through this spate of brotherly un-love is that, for all this time, I thought it was Stephen Baldwin in Backdraft.

Not a movie, but for all of the horror hype American Horror Story generates, my wife and I find ourselves laughing a lot more often than jumping in fright.

"… defined by the way Harry Sims (Irrfan Khan), the blasé, scene-stealing master of a mercenary syndicate, carries medical gloves in the pocket of his wool three-piece suit in case he needs to stab someone…

My favorite chili aside from my own was one my buddy made with beef chunks and Guinness, which added the beer taste as well as notes of chocolate and coffee.

You, my friend, need to experience corn-and-black-bean salsa.

If I'm using beans, I definitely prefer black beans to kidney beans.

Begone, charlatan! =)

Except for the indisputable reality that chili powder is inferior in every possible way to fresh chilies, I'd agree with most of this.

Agreed. Chili powder means you are doing it wrong. Unless of course it's your own blend of dried chilies. Still, though, I'm a big proponent of fresh chilies as often as possible.

There's not a "right" way. But there's definitely a "wrong" way.

More than 2 or 3 tomatoes, fermented or otherwise, in a pot of chili is overrated.

Also, shout-out to Caitlin PenzeyMoog. Penzey's Spices in the Strip District here in Pittsburgh is my JAM.

One of the best pots of chili I ever made came with the addition of some leftover homemade mole poblano. It incorporates a lot of the traditional chili ingredients, but gave the whole thing a complexity that everyone loved, but no one could quite place.

Because my 4-year-old son would probably get a hold of it eventually.

It's not the original poster, but someone did a retro-stylized redesign of a group of iconic movies, and the one for The Godfather, Pt. II was a Genco olive oil can on an orange background with the movie info at the bottom of the can. That whole series of posters was excellent.

Diamondback just kind of strikes me as a little too over-the-top and cheesy. Cottonmouth — especially once they started adding some shades of gray to his character in the couple episodes before he bit it — was a very believable villain.

If that's the case, I'm not sure where the series plans to go. We've already established, multiple times over, that there is no such place as a safe haven, which cancels any semblance of a "happy-ending" arc, and it's clear that humans in the zombie apocalypse are still willing to do horrible shit to one another.
