I think it's perfectly acceptable to be wary of Johnny Depp. He has made some shitty movies lately. I can't remember the last thing he was good in. Rum Diaries?

Watching Bloodline, finally have discovered where the criminal element in Landry Clarke came from

Barry Bonds' 2011 conviction for making false statements has been overturned by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The government has two remaining options, that can ask for a total en banc hearing (all 29 judges) or appeal to the Supreme Court

The greatest oral history in the history of oral histories

Adam Arkin is just wonderful in everything he does. He may have been the best recurring character in the history of The West Wing.

There's this whole symbolism in California with the show. In the 60's New York was decaying and there was this total optimism with people about going out to California, the new American dream. Weiner has loved driving that point home, that the Mad Men are stuck in the past and lying in their own filth that now with the end of the 1960's is visible to even themselves. But they go out west and suddenly they have a totally new perspective on life and everything feels just right. The Mets pennant I always thought signaled this desperate clinging to the old ideals of the New York, east coast American dream. Born out of the ashes of the Giants and Dodgers bolting for the Pacific. It makes sense in a historical context and I've really liked it in the show despite California seeming almost dreamlike. I think it's just Don's tribute to Lane. When Don came back to the agency, the only office that was available was Lane's old one and the Mets pennant was still in there.

It's also where Don fell in love with Megan because she didn't have a mental breakdown when Bobby spilled a milkshake

There's no way an actor could ever play that a character as convincingly as Felicia Pearson did. That's why this show was so good because instead of trying to get actors to be like these people, David Simon just hired the people.

Steve died? No... please god no! STEEEVE! I don't think he and DJ made it. He was too busy flying around on carpets. Can't wait for the "very special episode" where they visit Michelle in rehab and find that Joey has lost his mind and now thinks that Mr. Woodchuck is really talking back to him.

He makes me root for the Viet Cong I texted my friend the minute that scene ended and just said "Hope he dies in 'Nam." Someone really should have told Matthew Weiner his son can't act. Especially since all his scenes have been with talented, believable actresses in January Jones and Kiernan Shipka (even if her future is in voice acting). And meanwhile here's this kid just messing everything up and sounding nervous as all hell at having a camera in his face. I said literally just about the same thing on Alan Sepinwall's blog last night. Judd Apatow is starting to get a tad offended by the nepotism displayed by the Weiner family. But putting Bob Benson in teaser montage and not delivering Bob Benson should be a felony and quite possibly a death penalty offense.

Per a report from Jay Glazer, the Philadelphia Eagles are going to sign Tim Tebow

Stars Wars: Rogue One, the spin-off movie directed by Gareth Edwards will depict the rebel plot to steal the plans of the Death Star

Yeah I made that same mistake for a while

Holy fuck, that ending!

I wouldn't mind seeing some celebrities make cameos as Zombies and what not just to lighten the mood, like Bill Murray in Zombie Land. There's a scene in an episode of The Leftovers where they pay tribute to all the celebrities who vanished and the montage included Shaq, Condi Rice, The Pope, Jennifer Lopez. It was pretty funny.

The Simpsons will no longer release seasons on DVD

The LEGO movie was fun but it being third is a bit much if you ask me. Birdman was good but it was 20 minutes too long. I think they could have cut one of the preview days and still accomplished everything they did. Hollywood loves movies about itself so that's why it won Best Picture. I enjoyed Guardians the most but if I had to choose the "best" movie of 2014 it would be Whiplash or Foxcatcher.

SNL just absolutely killed it with its Scientology spoof tonight. You have to watch "Going Clear" to get all the jokes but GC is a great movie so it's worth watching.

Bridgewater is the franchise in Minnesota. They traded back into the first round to get him, they're not going to cut bait so easily.

Bump as the final 7 episodes sadly debut on Sunday night
