My girlfriend and I just finished season 2 of The Wire, her first time watching and my second, and gently caress if it isn't even better than I remember when I first watched it like 8 or so years ago. What a truly phenomenal show.

Not really surprised about Neil deGrasse Tyson at all sadly.


That thing about the phone is the exact pompous "Well actually..." kind of poo poo he pulls all the drat time except in a grosser than normal way. In fact I wouldn't be surprised at all if he responded to these allegations much like he's correcting the accusers more than refuting them.

Are there any of these that have come up really prominently then just never seemed to go anywhere? I guess even now that people are more sensitive to and more aware of this kind of thing, even after it comes out people can still get away with it. As far as actors go, it seems like Jeremy Piven seems to have managed that, for instance. Or who was that one politician whose ex-wife or his ex-girlfriend or whoever said he used to beat her and she had a video to prove it? That seems like it would have been a big deal but I remember it was reported and then nothing, el zilcho, never came up again.

Stan Lee ones turned out to be fake.

During one of the recent allegation waves one of the women who made an accusation later recanted and admitted she was doing it for money (though it's very important to note, the others didn't) but I'll be damned if I can remember who was being accused in that case.

Chuck Schumer I believe, some Republican was doing their damnedest to torpedo every prominent Dem possible.

It's great, but it's not Prime Suspect.

It's definitely the true heir of Prime Suspect, though.

Certainly deserved all the hype that seemed to go to Sherlock instead.

Point of order: Richardson didn't play a police detective in that, he was the real-life guy who inspired Conan Doyle to create Sherlock Holmes. :colbert:

Thirding the love for Nightflyers. David Ajala (Manchester Black off Supergirl) is the standout so far, he's so spooky.

Great opening credits. Straight up fast paced pulp. Good stuff.

Just imagine if this was an oscar-bait movie. There were so many ways this movie could have been terrible, but instead it's like 10/10.

I was getting worried near the end it was going to try and force a "correct opinion" and was glad to be wrong.

Bodied is the rap battle movie or is there a series I'm not seeing?

I ordered a Gustav Dore calendar for 2019 but instead I received


Which afaict is a Canadian-exclusive version of the "wet and wild" moments featured on the 58-year-old north English working class soap opera Coronation street, which has nearly 10000 episodes. I've sent in for a replacement but I hope they let me keep it, I've got gag gift events and this is by far the most preposterous idea for a calendar I've ever seen. MMM yes more modestly-swimsuited Geordie pensioners please and thank you

And while I don’t explicitly remember searching for Pluto at the top of her shoulder, it is surely something I would have done in that situation. ... I was reported to have “groped” her by searching “up her dress”, when this was simply a search under the covered part of her shoulder of the sleeveless dress.
