My favorite Streep off the top of my head is in Defending Your Life. Love that movie, and a character who makes life seem effortless was a good fit for her.

Upvoted — or whatever the hell it’s called now — for shouting out The Burbs, which is probably my favorite Hanks movie. I think it’s brilliant.

What about "Sgt. Schlomo's Lonely Hearts Club Band?"

If you'd made those into two separate comments, I would have upvoted both!

I wouldn't mind being lost in the catacombs for three days… if Shannyn Sossamon was with me: http://www.imdb.com/title/t…

Understood. I just thought "someone pointed out his apology was shitty because X, not Y" might have been referring to me, and if so might have made it sound like I said his apology was shitty, which I didn't mean to do. No biggie.

Don't mean to stir up a hornet's nest here, but just to be clear, I wasn't necessarily saying his apology was shitty — don't know if you were referring to me with the above or not.

Yeah — it seems the thing that people most often forget about the first amendment is that it specifically refers to government action against speech or speakers. As you've implied, it says nothing about how the public at large reacts. So, if Maher were to get fired, there's no legal grounds on which to claim it as a…

Also a fair point.

This is a little off the subject, but it has to be said that there is also unconscious bias. I don't know whether this is an example of that or not — I guess it would depend on his thought process when he made the comment.

I agree with everything you said here except for the blaming it on being tired bit. I said this below, but I believe he was talking about not being able to sleep after the broadcast, not before — they do the show on Friday evenings.

Just a point of clarification: I think at one time he called himself a libertarian, but he's long since abandoned that label, and in fact he's been very critical of libertarianism in recent years, saying their belief that governments shouldn't provide basic services — like maintaining roads, etc. — is not feasible.…

I'm certainly not defending what he did, but I think there's a mis-understanding about his reference to sleeplessness here. He does the show on Friday nights, and I think he's talking about not being able to sleep after the taping, not before.

Indeed. Sometimes it's the act of looking at the set list that bums one out in the first place. "Ah, man — is this really what I'm playing?"

Haha — you see a musician looking depressed (a fair interpretation), and I see a musician looking at a pedal or a set list.

When I saw this headline, I was picturing Michael Biehn, another Biehn who dies on screen (sometimes off) A LOT. Best Michael Biehn death: The Abyss — an underrated film with a great performance from Biehn, who is also underrated… even though I forgot his name for a second.

There's only one rule in Cat Paradise: don't go on the field when the people are out.

In my mind, the most melodic of the major grunge bands.

It's funny — I was just rambling about this on the Jeff-Ament-RRHF-shirt article. I think they were unfairly perceived as being less genuine because they were from LA (where nothing sincere could ever possibly originate) and because their debut album came out a year after PJ's. Fact is, though, STP existed first and…
