To summarize the episode, everyone talked in very quiet-but-serious tones with nary a smile in the bunch.

@Keith P: then they all go to Hawaii, but bad stuff happens when one of them uncovers a tiki doll. It’s an interesting turn of events.

Hold off on submitting that application for a reviewer’s position to New Yorker a bit longer.

I tried to quit watching it because I pretty much despise every single character at this point, including the children. Well, I can’t help but admire Gemma a bit. And Bobby would be fun at a tailgate. But everyone else should go die in the nearest fire.
Anyway, after resolving to give up on the series some time ago, I got sucked back in during a recent bout of insomnia. But I missed this week’s episode. So what happened? I hope someone put that mopey psychopath Juice outta his goddamned misery. Spoilers welcomed!

@Suffern ACE: Oh, damn, I didn’t realize it was a two-hour ep! In the end, did Phil leave the hotel room and get a massage with Miss Kay, or did he stab someone in the head repeatedly with a fork?
Yuppers. Sometimes they stretch it a little too far. There was one day a while back when every film had the word ‘blue’ in the title.
Didn’t know if Dec 11 might be a major football anniversary or something. Been on this planet for a long, long time, and if I said I’ve watched or heard five minutes of real-life football over that span, would be grossly exaggerating.

There’s some serious reality distortion going on here.

this is sad, but still, this is kind of why I love john cole so much.
Do you know whether “The Wind Journeys” (the “squeezebox throwdown”) is one of Patton Oswalt’s selections as tonight’s TCM “Guest Programmer”? He was blowing Robert Osborne’s mind earlier this evening while describing the gay subtext of the original “3:10 to Yuma” movie.
And my mind was blown a few moments ago upon learning that the Belgian/French film “Aaltra” is scheduled to air at 2:00am EST. Because one doesn’t come across pitch-black comedies about middle-aged men in wheelchairs seeking justice for their injuries all that often. A deliciously nasty piece of work. Those of you for whom it’s still December 10 might want to check it out.
If Oswalt is responsible for all of tonight’s programming from “Kind Hearts and Coronets” to “Road to Bali,” that is one mighty peculiar sensibility.
@Amir Khalid: Taking lessons from the Republicans I see,
What China really needs is some sort of left-wing political party committed to ruling on behalf of the workers and peasants. It hasn’t had one of those before, has it?
@mdblanche: yeah. What’s left I guess is to crack down on the small polluters while leaving the big well connected polluters alone. But thankfully, the Chinese little guy is protected.
@Little Boots: That song was Ruined Forever for me back in high school, when one of my classmates decided to sing it over, and over, and over again one day while running laps in gym class. Thanks L, wherever you are.

Hardly ever watched it but that’s what Netflix is for.
NotMax
For some reason, on Wed. the 11th, TCM will be showing 9 – count’ em, 9 – movies involving football back to back.
MikeJ
Anybody else watching this accordion flick on TCM? Pretty cool squeezebox throwdown going on now.
MikeJ
@NotMax: A few days ago it was pirates wall to wall. They just go on sprees.

that is a sentence worth preserving forever.

@Amir Khalid: I think the plan is to hide those disputed islands in smog so that Japan and Taiwan cannot find them.

Fuck Kurt Sutter with a rusty meat fork. What a dickhead way to end that arc.

@John: As long as it’s over already. The last few episodes should have been hosted by Howie Mandel, shouting “Deal or no deal?!” every ten minutes.
(Yeah, I’m late to this thread.)
