You forgot to add "Look Like They Smell Like Funyuns & Boxed Wine" to the list.

I noticed that too. Instructor does not equal professor (I know he's taught some bullshit film/writing/directing course somewhere—doesn't count). Also, with his writing skills, we should all cast very real doubt on his MFA programs (yes, he enrolled in more than one) as well as his PhD work at Yale. This sort of…

That's the pro-life Catholic Church for you- every fetus is a precious angel until it's bon.

Hell I've been single for 10 years, I'm 26 the only reason I'm still single is I moved around a lot, plus some fun aspergers syndrome features. Means by the time I was ready to start dating it was already too late. I certainly don't feel entitled to anything. It's a unique feature of the internet that people with…

"Sex now?" "No sex now, hole is hurty"

Seriously! You wouldn't have to negotiate that awkward "Sex now?" "No sex now, hole is hurty," thing with your partner. You'd just walk down hill to the hut, no questions asked. And all the other bitches from your hood would be there! SLEEPOVER! Who brought the Midol!?

FUCK YES I KNEW THIS FAINTING COUCH WOULD COME IN HANDY SOME DAY.

Now see, if only she would open up a factory in a run-down rural area and manufacture that faux outrage on some sort of broad scale, those poor, broken-down, exploited people could actually have the sort of fuck-you money that those squillionaires in Bed-Stuy and Cabrini-Green use to make sure they, and their…

I suppose William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Dorothy Allison, Richard Wright, Carson McCullers, Cormac McCarthy, Richard Ford, Larry Brown, Frederick Barthelme, William Vollmann, Truman Capote, Eudora Welty, Denis Johnson are all being exploitative and problematic too. What a bunch of jerks

Nicely said. Just in terms of storytelling, the notion that anyone could create a twisted, nature worshipping murder cult in a "monied", presumably PR-rich and image-conscious, urban environment like New York or Chicago, and therefore easily avoid falling back on the "cheap atmospheric device" of the poorer rural…

Yes, it is.

SHUT UP THE WIRE NEVER EXISTED WHAT SHUT UP

I know this is going to solidify my status as an Old™, but when you do an Unplugged special, you should sit your ass on a stool and sing. No dancing with horses and clogging. Hmph.

We will have to agree to disagree on that one. Do you watch The Blacklist? He might not be the smoking hot youngster he once was, but he still gots it. And could still get it.

NO. It's MASTER. Because if you've spent any time in the alley, you're a goddamned one-handed boner-slaying Master.

Was I the only one who rooted against Ducky in Pretty in Pink in favor of James Spader?

Having seen the entirety of Season 3 I can honestly say I will send death threats to anyone that sends her death threats. She was so very good in the role. OMG, so good.

Can we assume that the series is written by one or more of the work-for-hire writers in his "fiction factory," where they do all the creative work and he takes the money & credit?

You sure her name wasn't Agnes? And that Jane Fonda didn't show up to investigate?

Smell it! SMELL THE TOPCOAT!
