Matt Zoller Seitz on last night's fantastic episode of Breaking Bad. Here is my favorite part of his write-up, an excellent summation of the differences between the two best shows on TV:
If TV's other great drama Mad Men is literary fiction, prizing ambivalence and ambiguity and fetishizing ellipses and question marks, Breaking Bad is high-level genre fiction: a character study that borrows from whodunits, heist stories, and cat-and-mouse crime thrillers in which clever antagonists try to outwit each other.Tea Party people are getting a little tired of being linked to every violent occurrence in the country.
Joe Scarborough would rather blame autism.
This covers my feelings on the Penn State sanctions. I do think Paterno losing his wins and the $60 million are fine, but the rest seems to be punishing people who had nothing to do with Sandusky. NCAA sanctions have a way of harming those who were innocent.
Oh, shit. Sorry. Forgot to add in those tunnel costs when we gave you that estimate. Surprise!
New research suggests that land-use regulations is driving increases in income inequality. Topically related.
Cops in Anaheim shoot an unarmed man in the back of the head, attempt to purchase videos like this one, and follow that up by firing rubber bullets and siccing dogs on the people who showed up to protest.
More cops killing innocent people, this time involving them killing the victim of a burglary in Columbus, Ohio.
And another example of why you should never talk to the police.
The police department of Fullerton, California, isn't telling anyone what the results of the investigation into Kelly Thomas's death were, nor will they tell anyone why three of the officers involved are no longer with the department.
"Myopic, unaware, ignorant and gauche. This was Middle America at its best worst."
Contraband candy.
And now, a pair of teasers for Man of Steel:
