American football is a much slower and less interesting game than baseball. If your sport needs cheerleaders, it’s because the action on the field is dull and predictable. ---

> [@Mr\_Shine](#): > > _Star Trek: Insurrection_ is by far the worst Star Trek film. I’m not sure you will get much argument on that but it does remind me of one I should have mentioned: Star Trek First Contact is vastly over rated and Star Trek Nemesis is vastly underrated (and is better than First Contact). ---

enalzi: > [@](#): > > Lost was a great show with a great ending. I don’t disagree with that statement, but I certainly would have liked a bit more clarity about the mythology/nature of the island, the Smoke Monster’s nature and abilities, and the conflict between Ben and Charles Widmore and where Jacob actually fit into that. I hope that one day the producers will make some sort of official supplement to Lost in some form (whether video or comic book or prose) which would enhance the original series in such a manner. ---

Football is the stupidest thing ever invented. If the word ball, is right there in the title, you should try getting something that, y’know, looks like a damn ball maybe. Every play, it takes ten minutes to reset and play another ten seconds, beyond ridiculous. Players actually train by banging their necks/shoulders into things until they have no visible neck whatsoever. And BBQing in a parking lot with a thousand other hammerheads is just the pregame warm up, charming. And people are devoted to it, travel to games, pay big ticket prices, paint their bodies?? ---

Watching professional sports for entertainment is a complete waste of almost everyone’s time\*. I exempt people who watch the super bowl for the commercials. Woody Allen’s most recent movie, Blue something (Gardenia? Dahlia? some stupid flower that I’m not going to bother looking up), was complete crap, predictable and puerile. Good acting couldn’t save it from the hopelessly belabored plot. Stephen Sondheim’s work is largely cynical and depressing, and the relative cleverness of some of the lyrics can’t overcome the weight of unpleasantness. There are easier ways for me to bring myself down, if I want to, than to witness one of those things. I wouldn’t want to be in his skin. We need more inspired silliness in our entertainment, _á la_ Monty Python or The Goon Show. Too many things are either grim or stupid or both. On the other hand, escapism has gone too far. Vampires, werewolves, zombies, magic - ye gods, people, come back to reality! It’s not that bad! Roddy \*Of course, people are entitled to waste their time if they want to, I just hope none of them think they are getting anything out of it. ---

Cilantro is vile and ruins foods it is put in. The thigh is the choicest part of the chicken, with gizzards and hearts a close second when prepared correctly. Turkey follows the same rule. Mayo is a lousy condiment. Mustards rule in that department. The popular songs by Yes were formulaic drivel with vapid lyrics. The time to change the radio station is when a Bob Seger or Lynyrd Skynyrd song comes on. ---
