Mark Driscoll is secretly a Shia LaBeouf project.

'Girls' multi-hyphenate to pen four issue series focusing on Riverdale characters

When did MTV's website turn into Variety ?

"Will Reggie pee on Betty in the shower?" MTV's website is not quite Variety.

Can we talk about what happened to Dan's big "biphobic" post?

@5, what happened to it? It's still there. It's aged off the "Most Commented" list, but that's normal.

I don't hate Snyder's Watchmen (I think it's a faithful and sometimes beautiful if rather soulless and anodyne adaptation), but the notion that Gilliam is somehow a blot on film making is absurd. Possibly he'd be a poor choice for Watchmen, as it's rather bleakly humorless for his usual fare, but there's at least a chance it would be a masterpiece, which no one ever feared Snyder would accomplish.

Paul: Scarjo has a twin sister, so you still sorta have a shot.

Oh, Scarlett is nesting. Still, hormones are no excuse for taking all that blood money from Soda Stream instead of remaining an ambassador for Oxfam. Not a good example to set for her kid. Or the kids dying in the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Shame.

Zack Snyder sucks.

But sadly, so has Terry Gilliam since about 2000.

My Netflix review of The Watchmen:

Good movie, very creative, but everything goes on twice as long as it should. They have a habit of doing a good scene, and then repeating it which makes continuity very difficult. Case in point, Night Owl and Silk Specter have this good scene where they go into his basement and have a flirtatious talk, play with the equipment. Then they come up and have dinner. Then they end up back in the basement, and seem to continue the previous scene. Why couldn't this be combined into one scene? Then Rorschach goes to visit an old superhero. They have a gritty scene. A few minutes later, he seems to be doing the same exact scene again, only with a different superhero. Even the opening credits -- as cool as they are -- go on too long. So, it's a hard call. It's actually a really good film, but maybe the directors thought it was so good, they couldn't cut any of it. This is a film that would benefit from an "Editor's Cut" where they take out about 1/3rd of the movie and make it better.

I don't understand this thread. Is it about Tom Robbins or what?
I always wanted to like Tom Robbins, but never could.

That twitter feed only has four titles excerpted thusfar and they all sound pretty great. They do a Bukowski one whose first line is, "It began as a mistake." Post Office, from 1971.

I just so happen to have finished a book last night and may go pick Post Office this afternoon.
