Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Deadwood season 3 is out on DVD today.

WOO-fuckin-HOO!

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

But then there's the credits rolling without music, and that's just unsettling.

But that's one of the classic ways to unsettle your audience... Don't play music where they're expecting it.

See: The Body.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, yes, I'm just saying that the deliberate unsettlingness does not support my nothing-changes hypothesis. Unless everything is always unsettling, which it sort of is, so, I don't know.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Dudes, that was a rocking episode of Entourage. I really enjoyed that. Billy Walsh is such a crazy motherfucker, and I wish E hadn't been so passive, but he made up for it when he called Billy on his bullshit.

And I can't wait to see what Ari says about a film where his prettyboy crown jewel spends two hours looking overweight and mustachioed on America's screens.

I remarked elsewhere that Vinnie looked like he'd wandered out of an old Beastie Boys video.

Hee! That's very true. I bet Adrien had a kick-ass time with that. And the boys had a hell of a time teasing him for it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I've watched the first two episodes of John from Cincinnati and I can't decide if I like it or not. Some of the acting is awkward in a David Mamet sort of way (John, Ed O'Neil's character, the new motel owner), but I'm intrigued enough by the where-the-hell-is-this-going-to-go-ishness of the premise that I think I'll stick with it for a while. Plus, I read co-creator's Kem Nunn's novel "Tapping the Source" around 20 years ago and really liked it.

I've got those two backed up on my DVR, but I hope to get to them this week so they don't pile up (like my RICHES have).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

For yet another HBO series, I got about halfway through the first episode of John from Cincinnati, and I couldn't figure out why I was supposed to like any of the characters, and then I gave up on it.
