Paul Thomas Anderson's To-Do List:

This country….this is not my kind of country.

Green Lives Matter.

He was the one that liked pizza.

So it's the liberals' fault?

Yeah, I don't think Rashida was ever the problem. It was the writing.

It was a mix of improvements and character tweaks that occurred over the course of season two and culminated with the addition of Scott and Lowe, who fit in seamlessly. What's unfortunate, maybe, is the way this also coincides with Schneider leaving the show, so it's easy to say "it got good when Brendanowitz left,"…

It became a COMPLETELY different show when Adam Scott and Rob Lowe show up with 2 episodes left in season 2 (though it starts getting funnier and better throughout season 2).

Yes! That's exactly it. He was grounded, which made him relatable, but also would have stood out like a sore thumb as the show became more cartoonish (in a good way). I think that's why Rashida Jones always felt a little shoe-horned in, too.

Smurfs 2.

Recently did a P&R rewatch, and was retroactively surprised to the extent the show was retooled (they even basically had a montage "reset" to start season 3), how much I kind of enjoyed Paul Schneider (though his character clearly didn't fit into what the show became), and how thoroughly Brandanowitz was scrubbed out…

Here's my beard.
Ain't it weird?
Don't be scared,
Just a beard.

Not after Anomalisa.

A men-only Toby Keith concert in Saudi Arabia sounds like my vision of Hell.

Are you suggesting he's just an amoral opportunist?

Talk about mud flaps,
My girl's got 'em

What a terrible sentence that headline is.

In another victory for humanity

Let us not forget the season 11 episode starring Mel himself.

Who do you find more attractive, Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson?
