The statue looks pretty Minnesota to me. Minnehaha Park at best.

I think it presumptuous to say everyone here voted for Hillary in ‘16. How do you know? Unfortunately, a few I do know voted Stein or not at all. It’s a valid sentiment.

Don’t forget Wally Wood, who overworked and drank himself into major health problems and suicide. But he does seem to be an exception, thankfully.

Mendesian: The quality of being shallow Oscar bait

No. The Streisand-Kristofferson version is ageless and evergreen, right down to the vertical 8-track in the console of Kristofferson’s convertible

Courtney Love and Edward Norton.

One could argue the “Bush doesn’t care” moment was less a genuinely anguished reaction to the misery of Katrina and more an early example of Ye making a news event about himself. And I think all agree that’s a tendency he shares with Trump. Plus the inability to keep fame in perspective, a disconnection from reality…

Almost as good as Paul and band playing “White Lines” when guest Cokie Roberts made her entrance.

Yeah, but Robinson had gotten away with so much appropriating and procreating by that point he probably thought he was blessed and exempt from human pain and suffering.

We decided to start our Halloween movie month a few weeks early this year:

The closest I’ve come is trying to hate watch a double feature of Stroker Ace and Best Little Whorehouse in Texas but finding both genuinely entertaining. Even when a drunken Jerry Reed disrupts a scene during the end credits blooper reel.

Then Benoit Jacquot is the world’s most overlooked director. Jacquot made an intelligent, well-acted film about the Marquis de Sade (Sade) that was completely obscured by the pompous, self-satisfied and miscast Quills. The ‘78 Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Right Stuff are fine films; the end sequence where…

Will season one also be known as The Act: Cyber?

If Bunuel was still around, he could direct a Potter where Hogwarts serves as a front for a drug ring, the students wage gang warfare and Sirius Black renounces God while obsessing over Narcissa Malfoy’s feet.

Yeah, it’s dated. But George Hansen remains one of the most enjoyable side characters in film history. Easy Rider never really recovers after he's gone.

“You Really Got a Hold On Me” - Beatles. John Lennon’s vocal is actually more anguished and lustful than Smokey Robinson’s original with the Miracles, and that’s a high bar.

I’m being crass, but Fingersmith seems like a less-than-subtle title for a sapphic Victorian romance novel.

I’m still waiting for someone to produce a real, live-action Police Cops.

Too timebound. Behind the Music isn’t something people remember or care about that much any more. Even the episode based on The Prisoner had more cultural relevancy.

Mustachioed Jerry, George and Kramer ... Kramerica, “Serenity, now!”, stealing Ziggy’s jokes, bear claw in trash ... ok, it was running on fumes at that point.
