The part where the guy is married, has daughters, and is a fucking schoolteacher is unbelievable. It's an epidemic. They need to figure out a way to screen for this shit.

Bazaar of Bad Dreams - Stephen King's latest collection of short stories. It mostly sucks. Out of about twenty stories only three or four are actually worth reading, and only maybe one or two are worth reading twice. "Morality" and "Under the Weather" are my favorites, with &quo...

Bill Maher is an asshole. The only reason I watch "Real Time" occasionally is because sometimes he has good guests on and I want to hear their opinions, but whenever Bill talks I want to claw my own eyes out.

I don't like it that those motherfuckers can find this board.

Chuckles_Otoole

My biggest beef with the IMDb boards was the automated nature of their report feature. It allowed collective asshole groups with people like Blade and DT and AyeLewis to harass the shit out of people who were just trying to have normal conversations. It's what destroyed the boards, basically. Fuck i...

Musicals make sense if you consider the history, which is minstrel shows. In medieval times, basically you had minstrels wandering from village to dell, harp or lute in hand singing "lays," which are basically epic tales set to music, in exchange for food and shelter. Over time you would h...

According to the Wikipedia description of "diagesis," I think musical theater falls into the "extradiegetic" category, as it is a form of narration.

Firefly was one-of-a-kind if for no other reason than the chemistry of the main characters. Probably the best ensemble cast ever assembled, except for maybe "Newsradio." Plus the story taken as a whole is just brilliant. And the greatest one-liners ever. Like, "A man walks down the st...

Fixed.

I mean seriously, you have to have a license to drive a car or operate a business.

Could you give me an example of what would qualify as willful ignorance to you? As the point I was making is that there's no such thing as wilful ignorance... not really.

I definitely prefer the versions with acoustic instruments, but yeah- all of the above.

Glad to see Milo is losing a platform. I wonder how Bill Maher is feeling right about now. I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence that the week after Milo appeared on "Real Time" and got ranked out on national television, his whole works has gone kaboom. This was a public execution. Not sorr...

I have to say, I am thrilled to pieces. Free speech is not a sufficient argument for the behavior of people like Milo Yiannopoulos. Milo is what an Internet troll looks like in the real world if they actually get paid to behave that way. He incites violence and then laughs and wafts his palms and sa...

Also, apparently the POTUS is allowed to commit fraud, sexual assault, and treason as long as he's a Republican, but a British homosexual can't discuss his own trauma without consequences. To be honest, I almost feel sorry for the little twerp.
