I spent about 5 hours today marathoning the last few episodes of the 6th season of Mad Men, and Plus Pete gets poo poo on a LOT, which I'm a fan of.

He also puts in maybe the greatest line reading of the entire series.

But they couldn't use the eagles because something about Sauron seeing them and lasering them out of the sky. There was a thread a looong time ago that was basically "Ask me anything about Tolkien because I know way too much about this poo poo" and that was like the first question.

Yeah, that's why I used it. I'd also heard it as the eagles simply not wanting to do it cause they're not performing monkeys, which I like and is diva-as-gently caress. It's a dumb question though.

I think the bigger point is Geekboy is making a huge mistake.

I don't know if you guys want to count the ESPN 30 for 30 documentaries as movies since they're made for TV but holy gently caress is the Hillsborough documentary required viewing for anyone with a passing interest.

Edit: seriously it's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, right up there with Harlan County or Hoop Dreams or whatever.

I was on a huge 30 for 30 kick a bit ago, but I hit mediocre streak and fell off. I'll definitely check it out.

June 17, 1994 is one the best things. It's so good.

I think it's easy for guys to forget what kind of bullshit most women have to deal with. For instance almost every girl I know has really hosed up and bizarre story about riding the bus. (Most people who ride the bus have a weird story about it,but girl's stories tend to be worse)

I think every girl I know has has been told by strangers in public to "smile".

Huh! I just started that show recently too. Not as good as people told me it was, but still good and it's picking up later in the first season. I love the constant sudden dramatic zooms.

Just wait until you get to season 3. The whole season's basically unimpeachable. Early-Simpson's quality. Season 4 is shaping up to be almost as good as well.

Season 1 is very good in a weird laid back way. It's just very comfortable in what it is and is just kinda hanging out doing its thing.

Oh, for sure, but I almost feel like 1 and 2 are sort of "here are these characters, aren't they great?" and then 3 is like "Now we'll make everything about the show great too".

1 and 2 definitely have some amazing gems though, like "Burgerboss" or "Bob Day Afternoon" or "Sheesh! Cab, Bob?"


EDIT: Tina is a gift from the TV Gods. I still think about the line "A turkey in every toilet. Only in America." and crack the gently caress up.

Also note that he is specifically looking for a submissive white woman.

No, he'd just strongly prefer a submissive white woman. I guess if he had to settle he'd get all addle-pated by someone who isn't white.
