After 5 minutes of Black Mirror

The Premise; A British Princess has been kidnapped by apparent terrorists who declare that they will kill her if the Prime Minister does not have sexual intercourse with a pig which is to be broadcast on all british TV stations.

I don't know if this is a serious drama or a dark comedy yet, this seems fucking epic.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I know if somebody puts A Christmas Story in my DVD player, I'm going to throw the machine at them.
Word.  That shit is fucking terrible.  At my house at Christmas, there are only four movies: The Ref, Miracle on 34th Street (original), It's a Wonderful Life, and Scrooged.

Scrooged is a fine film.  Terribly underrated, then and--less so, but still--today.

May be my favorite Bill Murray movie.

Can't wait to see the MSNBC footage live, where they try to keep your skin moist and the blow hole unobstructed.  :P

I just watched the episode about the crab fisherman who got whacked by the crab pot.

I always think it is funny when you have shows like that and it is really obvious they don't have enough material to fill out the actual show, so they just repeat themselves after commercial breaks...

However, the camera work was incredibly well done. Someone should get a raise for that part at least!

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Did you see Goodnight, and Good Luck?  That's a worthwhile flick.
