That's fair. Just thinking about Ailes/O'Reilly a lot lately.

From the wells of disappointment
Where the women kneel to pray,
For the grace of God in the desert here
And the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the USA

There are no second acts in American life, unless you're a wealthy man in media.

I was watching this live and got the most horrible flashbacks to the early days of the Iraq War. God help us.

Looks hilarious!

I know her from a good, chilly turn in David Cronenburg's Cosmopolis and getting in a Twitter fight with Jian Ghomeshi before all of his, er, "personal troubles". She's cool.

Hm, Richard Kelly is much hotter than I expected.

I wonder what Tarantino's version of his own script would have been like.

Reality Bites is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

As someone involved in socialist and leftist politics, I can say this more than applies to my good friends in the socialist community as well.

Huh. I really liked that show when it aired, but I completely forgot it existed.

Strange, mashing the downvote button seems to do nothing.

I watched The Skin I Live In a few months ago, after watching it when it initially came out. I liked it much better the second time around, I feel like in a few years it will be heralded more as a classic of body horror.

I don't know, Ohio's crazy about Warren G. Harding!

Jobim is hugely, hugely influential and beloved in Brazil. Girl from Ipanema was a major international hit, but Jobim was basically the primary force behind the creation of bossa nova, which modernised samba and even had connections to various political movements in the early 60s. So he's a very, very big deal!

I had a first date with a guy who, somehow, managed to get into an argument about The Tree of Life with our server at the restaurant. That's always what I think of now when I think of the movie.

You're 100% right — if you remove the stuff about the Shogun I probably would have guessed "tycoon".

I love the idea of upping the difficulty within the round! It seems like a pretty basic concept, but I don't think I've ever been to a trivia night that's done it! I'll try it next week, thanks!

I replied with a somewhat snarky "Are you sure you're in the right place?" which got a big laugh. She was just very annoyed because her team was in second last place.

I remember he interviewed David Chase for some reason or other, and it was very good. He's a talented, charismatic guy but…yikes. He is not a very good dude.
