Wow, Elementary sounded so fucking stupid when I first heard of it, but that trailer is great, I've always liked Johnny Lee Miller (though he's not in much and was entirely forgettable in Dark Shadows...) and Lucy Liu is a great idea as Watson! It's still no Sherlock, but I'm looking forward to it, especially since we only get about 3 Sherlocks a year...

I've heard of Magic City but can't recall what it is about...?

I miss Detroit 187. Hadn't really realized Rookie Blue was separate from Blue Bloods (which I just never cared about for some reason). Southland's my current favorite, followed by Justified.

Damn it, I'd rather she be shipped to Switzerland and I never had to look into those CRAZY EYES again!

Yep, makes perfect sense, I agree with all your points. But as poor as the choices for presidential nominees were for them, VP seems even worse. Somehow Governor Trans-Vaginal Probe is still a front runner! The only one I can think of who'd maybe add something to the ticket is Ron Paul, and the shenanigans he's been pulling with their state conventions could even make it more likely. But he'd have to swallow everything he believes in to do it, and that's *a lot* of batshit!

Product Description Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee for president in 2012 -- but his alien weirdness makes him a very difficult candidate to get to know. Mitt not only thinks it's perfectly fine to put a dog in a crate strapped to the top of a speeding car for a 12-hour nonstop trip, but he repeats the story years later with a chuckle. Millionaires, Mormons, unimpressive scions and ideologically fungible panderers have run for president before, in spades, but only Romney combines all those elements in one robotic package, topped off with appropriately immobile hair. "The Rude Guide To Mitt" tells the true story of how: Bain Capital didn't actually do much venture capital work. Mitt Romney hates risk. Venture capital is very risky. Instead, Bain made its name, and made its investors' fortunes, with leveraged buyouts: seizing control of companies with huge sums of borrowed money and flipping them a few years later for a massive profit. Mitt Romney didn't really save the Salt Lake City Olympics. He simply raised ticket prices 14 percent above the previous games and auctioned off the best tickets on the Internet. He promised Bank of America executives that they'd get paid back before taxpayers if they extended more credit. And most important, he lobbied Congress, at least until George Bush entered the White House and put Olympic spending right in his budget. Mitt Romney did not save the Massachusetts state budget. Conventional wisdom has it that he inherited a massive budget deficit and turned it into a massive budget surplus without raising taxes. Romney did raise taxes, but he called them "fees"; the deficit ended up not being as big as projected; and half the supposed "surplus" was an accounting trick. He managed to cut 600 jobs from the sizable Massachusetts state government payroll, which he now paints as a massive and unprecedented reduction in the size of state government. (You're allowed to brag about firing people when you fire public employees.) Mitt Romney is very weird. He seems incapable of natural conversation and frequently uncomfortable in his own skin. He's simultaneously dorkily earnest and ingratiatingly insincere. He suggests a brilliantly designed politician/android with an operating system still clearly in beta. All video of him attempting to interact with normal humans is cringe-inducing, as a cursory YouTube search quickly demonstrates. (Martin Luther King Day, Jacksonville, Fla., 2008: Mitt poses for a picture with some cheerful young parade attendees. As he squeezes in to the otherwise all-black group, he says, apropros of nothing, "Who let the dogs out? Woof, woof!") He seems to have been told that "small talk" is mostly made up of cheerfully delivered non sequiturs.

Saw a trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman, despite it staring lip-biter I'm starting to be a bit interested! I kind of want to see MIB3 this weekend.

Wow, that's a great point AdamSmith! Never thought of it quite like that.

I can't help but ponder how much better a country it would be if every single person who believed Trump would be the "right track again" for the country were shot into space. Or just shot...

I've been a bit surprised over the hubbub over this, I can't recall ever hearing of the case... I was young at the time, but I mean since, did it have some name or special notoriety, any films based on it?

That looks a lot more interesting than the last show named for Vegas, and I like Chiklis... interesting semi-western vibe too.

They should cover the whole range and have a poster of her other facial expression (lip biting)!

I can't wait for Abe Lincoln, and that trailer was great. A little disconcerted to see Tim Burton's name associated with it though...

I watched a couple minutes of the stunt casting with Lindsay Lohan, and most of the worst episode I've ever seen about a month ago... am done with SNL. In the unlikely event of a breakout hit I'm sure the clip will be posted here, so why sit through that?

Pride parade link is broken, this is the correct one. 11AM Sunday June 10th.

Political Animals and Newsroom sound interesting. And I like Warehouse 13.

Found this photo spread of Tatum.

Malibu Woman Sentenced To Life In The Valley

Saw something that with the epic (domestic) flop of Battleship he starred in the two worst-grossing movies of the summer! Not a great start to a career...

Congrats to our new forum overlord!

For a very short while my strategy was to try to tie Expat in number of posts a day, but I couldn't keep up the pace!

I think Onion or somebody did a skit on that already.

I had the exact same experience trying to get through the original. Went from thinking I was fairly intelligent to wondering where my dunce cap was. But then I see what passes for entertainment these days on The Soup or hear a politician speak and I realize that while there are some *way* above me, there are so very many sadly below...

That is surprising! I thought Syfy only canceled good shows! ;o) While I'm surprised there are fans of Sanctuary I guess it may have gotten a lot better than the initial episodes. Syfy seems masterful at sticking with unwatchable crap but as soon as something finds it legs / starts to get great it's gone. Stargate Universe and this great final season of Eureka being perfect examples...

Yeah, I really don't get how he could be found guilty of so many counts, some of them hate-induced and get fucking 30 days. 30 days are fine I guess--if you THEN DEPORT THE FUCKER!
