The Cormorant

There is a film that I am 98% certain was called The Cormorant. It is not the one made in the 90s with Ralph Fiennes. I cannot find any mention of it anywhere. I had read about it around 1994 in a...

Honestly, I would put that show near the top of my list for WORST sitcoms ever made, just a few spots below Method & Red. I've never understood how that show gets viewers, but then According To Jim...

I am utterly lost when I try to find an explanation for the TV ratings that CBS enjoys.

Re: what is the deal with megan fox?

She looks OK, but nothing special. She'll occasionally say something that makes me want to admire her more, but then she'll later say something else that makes me think the original statement was...

Herzog and Bojangles'?

(this might not make quite as much sense to you if you don't live in the southeast US)

Re: Movies that deal in Rape or Attempted Rape?
