Not to belittle your story, but did he found an offshoot of a major religion that drew thousands of followers, get himself elected to the state legislature, and have himself crowned King of Heaven and Earth?

I read up a little bit on Strang when I vacationed with a friend whose parents have a house on Beaver Island and you're right: his story is absolutely mind-blowing.

It's so funny. I felt like listening to the Pixies tonight for the first time in a long time, so I put them on while reading the AV Club, and I see a new Binky comment on a new article for the first time in a long time . . .

Please re-read my post. It doesn't say what you thought it did.

I like how Sam Esmail came up with a completely distinctive visual style that isn't that difficult to execute, but makes a huge impact. Since the first season of Mr Robot, every time I see someone on another show use a really off-center composition from a unusual angle that calls as much attention to the architecture…

I don't really understand how you can look at someone like Plaza who is so obviously smart and funny and talented and beautiful and has that mischievous wicked gleam in her big dark eyes and not become a "fanboy". Someone like that would shoot John Lennon or something.

Just when I thought this show couldn't get any more awesome: Aubrey Plaza in fishnet stockings doing a sexy dance through the googleplex of some dude's mind!

I'll read it after I Black Angel my Death So—oh fuck me, this isn't working….

That's a really good article. I've always been curious about what Hubbard's pre-Dianetics fiction was like, but there is no way in hell I'm going to seek it out and read it for myself. The author gave me everything I wanted to know.

Like I said in the post, it was a clumsy expression of acceptance and even admiration, not an insult. I thought that was pretty clear from his general laid-back attitude and his responses to Hannah's reactions to the remark.

I thought Becky Ann Baker was amazing in this episode. She not only nailed the funny "stoned mom with the munchies" stuff, but the way she hissed “Stop fucking saying that” in Hannah's face and stormed out of the laundromat after Hannah tried to offer her some insincere platitudes about “still meeting someone” made me…

I assume it's the last one. These week-long features usually only run Mon-Fri.

The way these interviews have been sequenced all week, I was sure they were escalating to a big climax on Friday. After Marsters yesterday, I figured only 4 people could top him: Boreanaz, Gellar, Hannigan or Head (Head seemed the most probable). So today when I got home from work (2nd shift) I eagerly clicked over to…

I was just thinking the other day about how Weaving's weird over-enunciation in The Matrix (which I'm thinking is part acting choice/part accent struggle) works so well for the character because he's really a computer-written program who is only simulating humanity, so he should sound a little unnatural, especially…

I caught up with it in reruns years after the original airings. Because sometimes I'll watch any kind of genre junk, I thought it was cool because you got to see a pretty girl kick vampire ass at least several times an episode, with fun dialogue (though I admit the Whedonisms grated on me a little at first) and…

Well, you know, Mr Mayor, there's more than one way to skin a cat…

He seemed really familiar. Probably one of those "that dude" character actors who are in a thousand things, a sort of alt-Ed Harris…

Wait, wasn't "Dr Kissinger" actually Benny when they pulled the camera back on the containment cells? Or am I seeing things?

Just when I thought this show couldn't get any more awesome: Jemaine Clement in a leisure suit reciting Beat poetry on the astral plane!

Was it the wrong movie or the right movie?
