True! Did you ever see Human Planet, the BBC documentary? Amazing narration.

Speaking of his voice: for some reason I've always prided myself on doing a good John Hurt impression. No idea why I gravitated to his voice specifically!

An absolute legend. He always elevated whatever material he was working with, and his filmography is incredibly impressive.

You know: the part with the trains!

I wish The Guardian had quoted his other 1984 quote instead: https://twitter.com/pixelat…

No, you're wrong. He bought me a very wonderful pony and Clover is my friend.

George Soros bought me this very beautiful pony. His name is Clover and I love him very much.

I don't think I've straight-up liked anything Lee Daniels has done (though I think Precious got a bit of a raw deal in some quarters), but I appreciate his sky-high ambitions and his inability to make anything boring, if nothing else.

There was so many awful, awful moments during the campaign (obviously mostly on the Trump side), but when Clinton referred to Kissinger as a friend and talked about how she'd seek his advice I wanted to jump out a window.

She's the Kathryn Hahn character from Parks & Rec. Smart, utterly amoral, and quite charming once you get to know her. I remember there was a lot of pearl clutching by Beltway types when she joined the Trump campaign.

My Twitter timeline has found an excellent balance of calling this out as bullshit and humiliating Trump over it.

Now now, just because it's riddled with spelling mistakes and factual errors doesn't mean it's bad intel!

I mean, who fucking knows because this whole endless cycle has been so goddamned crazy, but no one seems particularly jazzed by this report. Numerous media sources had seen it prior to Buzzfeed and passed because nothing it in could be corroborated. In a year where "fake news" has been such an in vogue term, it's…

Yeah I got that vibe from the Hitler stuff too. Good casting though!

Actually to be fair to Eric Garland I have no idea what he is talking about so maybe he's not saying that.

Good liberal allies like David Frum and that NatSec guy that writes tweetstorms that sound like they're from a Tumblr circa 2011 say: absolutely!

I'll stand up for Plastic Beach. It's a little less adventurous than their first two records, but it's also a lot more focused. Maybe you could argue that "focused" isn't the point of Gorillaz, but I really enjoyed it.

Is someone going to come into the comments talking about how Monopoly is a totally great game if you play it according to the rules?

The DNA stuff was shocking to me. I had no idea it was bungled so badly by the CSI team and the coroner's office.

The book is an exploration of the inside of a serial killer's head. The movie is a satire on capitalism and Reagan-era excess. They're surprisingly different animals.
