OK, I will admit:  tonight's Walking Dead gave me my first Oh-Fuck dropped cigarette moment when [spoiler]Axel got ventilated out of fucking nowhere.  Talk about not seeing that one coming;  he certainly didn't.[/spoiler]

Glenn [spoiler]is acting like a teenager that's never had pussy before.  He's getting on my nerves.  Better man the fuck up.[/spoiler]

I only had a minor Rickgasm tonight.

Uh it's owned by BBC Worldwide so not sure what you mean dps.

The BBC itself and BBC Worldwide are separate entities.

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.

BBC Worldwide's a private subsidiary of the BBC, so there's a bit more difference than that.

OK, the BBC has to pay taxes on the profits that BBCW makes...



But, apart from the license fee not funding BBCW and the BBC having to pay taxes on BBCW profits what substantive differences are there?

Safety Not Guaranteed (2012).  Cute, charming, funny, and weird, but maybe a little unbelievable.  Neither quite as poignant nor as ambiguous as I had been led to believe, either.  B?

Yes, an example of how the power of trailers consumes us all.

I'd so bang the holy fuck out of Aubrey Plaza, though.

Dude, that goes without saying.  A+ ass.  Lots of personality in the role, too.

It is a good movie, maybe even a very good movie and I'm being unfair--I just felt slightly disappointed with the ending, and it didn't have to be disappointing at all.

Just seen the documentary 'Queen of Versailles' on the beeb, about the Florida based Westgate timeshare owner Don Siegel and his family going through the financial downturn. 

Excellent, well worth watching, a well 'constructed' and somewhat sympathetic story.

Well, it's a whole new world.  If Carl can man up and shoot his own mother, then Glenn can get over his hang ups.
