Kathryn Bigelow, Ang Lee, and three white dudes (Spielberg, Affleck, and David O. Russell, Tom Hooper or Quentin Tarantino).

What's the point of puffing your chest about this? If this is some sort of issue you need to work it out, take it up with the filmmakers who made this dense, extraordinarily thoughtful film about the dehumanization of the war machine.

Just what anyone would need to get you excited for a big game — a depressing, morally murky exploration of the War on Terror as an anonymous social and political apparatus that subsumes the humanity of its own agents.

Her name's Katie Holmes, and that's just a rumor!

Pretty sure this anecdote was the basis of a Law and Order episode from the 90s starring Lauren Ambrose as the special-needs student.

As an unabashed turtle lover, this really really bums me out.

Spurs owner Peter Holt is also on the list.

Don Hertzfeldt has an Oscar nomination, was nominated for the short film Palme d'Or, has had more films play in competition at Sundance than any other filmmaker in history. I'd say he's pretty solidly celebrated.

Yeah, the effect your sister correctly disabled has nothing to do with "HD." The anti-judder or motion-smoothing setting on HD televisions artificially interpolates and creates "in-between" frames that distort what filmmakers intend for their films to look like.

Gah... every filmmaker watching cringes at the insane line jumps in this.

Same thing that happens with cruise ships — jurisdiction falls to the country where the vehicle is registered.

You forgot Poland!

My grandparents really wanted to be called "Gramby" and "Granthers." As a baby, I called them "Bapu" and "Po" instead, and my parents were all "Huh, I guess that's they're name!"

This is where I remind everyone that Alec Baldwin co-wrote a Law and Order episode in which a gossip columnist chases a celebrity into the street, leading to her death. When the columnist is discovered murdered halfway through the episode, the members of his co-op BURST INTO APPLAUSE AT THE CRIME SCENE.

Just reading this article and imagining a tarantula within ten feet of me makes me so uncomfortable I started squirming in my chair. No. Can't do it.

It seems like SNL is generally defined at any given time by one or two particularly prominent performers (Will Ferrell during his years, Eddie Murphy during his) — I'm pretty sure the last four or even five years straight will go down as the Kristen Wiig era on SNL. She's pretty much dominated the show and set much of…

On any given day, there are usually a few subway stops in NYC where police officers will set up a folding table and do random inspections of people entering the subway system. You're free to turn them down, but you won't be allowed onto the subway system if you do.

I'm a dude, just for context.

My guess is that the Secret Service has nothing to do with this twitter. It was probably assigned to some intern at the White House communications office whose other job is monitoring Fox News for his or her bosses.

It's not a matter of spellcheck — Fox has referred to him as Usama for years. There are different conventions for the transliteration of Arabic names and phrases, hence the myriad 'Muammar Qaddafis' and 'Moammar Gaddafis" we see from various news sources, and Fox News' style-book happens to use 'U' to transliterate a…
