No way. Merlot Down Dirty Shame is an all time great episode.

Yeah but that's the show's single greatest episode. I can't blame this one for failing to live up to that.

She was like a mix between Blair from Facts of Life and Delta Burke on Designing Women. Likewise, she and Dwayne Wayne were the original Ross and Rachel.

To be fair though, there have been very few sitcoms of any kind to regularly land in the top ten of the Nielsen rankings in the last few years. Those spots are now reserved for singing competitions and police procedurals in CBS.

Which is just as stupid. It would make more sense if he was begging industrialists and oilmen, like his longtime benefactors at Brown and Root, rather than a bunch of generals, to deliver an election. Nixon made more sense in this regard, actually.

Was Hanging' with Mr. cooper not a hit? I'd take that show over Living Single any day.

The difference is that Zero Dark Thirty presents itself as a recreation of actual events while dishonestly rewriting the actual series of events that led to the finding of Bin Laden. In the movie, torture produces crucial information that Leads to his capture. In real life, that isn't true. That is a direct choice of…

Not to sound creepy, but Jessica biel was impossibly hot in the 2003 movie. It's unfortunate that the movie itself was so ugly.

Is that odd? Lots of people hate guns. I know cops and former military people who hate guns. Granted they didn't take the next step and become expert knife throwers or anything like that, but this is a movie, you gotta kill people somehow, right?

I wish Emma Stone would gain some of her old weight back. She's starting to look unhealthily thin.

I agree. His movies are awful. But on the narrow point that just stunt casting a bunch of reality stars is a much worse way to make movies than using actual comedians and comedic actors, he's entirely correct.

Avengers is neither a good movie, nor the highest all time grossing one.

Yes exactly. She hasn't really had a chance to explode yet.

Am I alone in thinking Bigelow just isn't that great a director in general?

Yeah on this point you're right. Take this episode and the idea from last year that the house turned evil because it was the site of so many abortions and you could make the argument that this show is just very elaborate pro life propaganda.

The first half was a perfect mixture of crazy (Bloodyface's milk fetish) and thrilling (Lana's escape). The second half wasn't as strong, that's true, but I'm hoping Grace gets an ax next week.

This is just wrong. This was clearly the best episode of the season. Easily.

I took a class taught by the "gay professor" from that show in college. I didn't know beforehand, it was just an entry level sociology course. He was entertaining but wildly self absorbed. He talked about himself and his time on that show a lot. He also brought boxes full of his memoir about being the first openly gay…

Skip this and pick up Italo Calvino's Italian Folktales.

But it was based on a real person.
