Beg pardon, but I lived in Atlanta in ‘96, and subscribed to the AJC. That is FAR from all they did, you muppet.

They dragged it out to ensure that Jewell would never see the benefit of the court’s ruling, even had it been in his favor. That’s the AJC’s prerogative, but don’t ask anyone to sympathize with them over anything Eastwood’s film had to say.

So ... we’re talking about the news outlet that never so much as apologized to Richard Jewell, and waited him out in court until he died? That’s the one that’s in some sort of position to be making demands? I’ve got a better idea: screw them, screw their mothers, screw their grannies, and screw anyone or anything that …

Just what I needed: more women who aren’t interested in me.

I think that “Volleyball” was more about showing that Rose did things that Steven can’t undo or make right, and that part of his growing up will involve accepting that. It’s a sort of companion episode to “Guidance,” in that childhood is all about possibility ... but reaching adulthood requires learning one’s limits,…

Whittaker is fine as the Doctor, and the new companions are likable enough (though the show hasn’t yet fleshed any of them out enough). But the writing just hasn’t been there.

As a Georgian with prog rock running through his veins, I can tell you that a man’s muse can be downright capricious.

Big Big Train’s The Underfall Yard. An extended lament for the great builders that stretches from Master James of St. George, to William Walker (the Winchester diver), to Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Contrary to stereotypes, it’s a prog album whose unifying quality is vulnerable, mature emotion.

So what he’s saying is, they’re all wasted?

J.J. Abrams isn’t the blindly stubborn ass that George Lucas is. I’d like to think that Abrams is honest enough to see the things that worked about TLJ, and run with them.

a) The earlier Charlie’s Angels movies were sub-mediocre.

Subliterately spoken!

Your teacher was on the money. Given current assumptions, it’s absolutely right to nip any would-be Harry Potter exegetes in the bud, and absolutely right to place zero trust in what schoolkids imagine to have “merit.”

I don’t recall their claiming any such thing about vaccines. But otherwise, no lies to be found there.

Smart to target the enormous demographic of people who care what New Yorkers think.

For sure, Montalban was never less than genial in the part ... but at least to me, the character’s surface affability felt like a dangerous thing to count on.

The show often went straight into Needful Things territory. Mr. Rourke wasn’t portrayed as precisely a bad guy ... but neither did he mind letting the island* have its way with you up to a point.

Stay tuned: I will soon be making book on the odds of a Lumberjack Dexter miniseries.

I’m gonna give considerably bigger props to this hour. First off, any Jesse L. Martin + Tom Cavanaugh storyline will elevate the episode through sheer acting prowess. Secondly, the Cisco storyline was reasonably intelligent and literate by recent Flash standards. Thirdly, we get to see Candace Patton & Grant Gustin…

If at first you don’t secede, try, try again.
