It wouldn't get a fraction of the hate, for sure; it would be completely forgotten, save for an entry in Rabin's My Year of Flops. And then we would all read it and go, "yeah, those films really were terrible," and move along with the rest of our day.

Easy…they all realized they were white.

Easy answer: Ned was using Obi-Wan logic. There's precedent.

I don't hate Billy Joel, but I sure do fucking hate his third wife. She was at a club I was working at, maybe about 10 years ago. She was hammered and started dancing on one of the tables. When I asked her to get down, she did one of those "Do YOU know WHO I AM?" I told her I did not, then pulled her sorry drunk…

I thought Michael Kuditz's line about how he was a "great college player, but a lousy pro" was really on the money. I slipped a disc in my back my junior year of college ball and couldn't play anymore. I was bummed out about it for a while, but realized I was fucking miserable and not very good, and it was so stupid…

Bill Donohue obnoxiously disagrees with your claim.

Yeah, I agree. I'm a man working in a very female dominated profession (school teacher), and let me tell you, you don't need a man in charge to make a workplace situation tense and volatile.

Just think of Ricky as Nihilist Arby's.

To me, that speaks to how ephemeral "nerd culture" is in the first place and to the myth that nerds suffer for their interests and not their physical and social shortcomings.. I was into Star Trek, comics, and bands people haven't heard of. I also played high school football and had a girlfriend. I doubt any of the…

It's the book version of Live's Throwing Copper. Every time I go to a used bookstore, there's at least 5 copies lined up side-by-side on a shelf. Unlike Throwing Copper, though, the book is actually good.

It's called being facetious.

Ricky Jarrett, a supposed professional football player, doing only 280 on the leg press is about the most unrealistic thing I've seen on this show. Couldn't they have added more weights when the shot went wide?

The same thing happened to me last night in a screening of Ant-Man, only replace teenaged kid to fat, angry black woman and glaring o loudly telling me to "go fuck myself."

Damn, where were these "cleat chasers" when I was playing ball in college?

Yeah, fuck Bendis and Millar for that very reason.

No, John Woojust has a unique style that was subdued by the studio, who wanted him to make a bland action blockbuster. Same with Padihla and the Robocop remake.

You spell Commando very differently than I do.

True Lies. Jaime Lee Curtis hits Tia Carerre twice with the champaign bottle and it doesn't break.

When people reference Entourage nowadays, just link 'em to this Alyssa Rosenberg column….

Well, there's The Dissolve..oh wait.
