Yeah is that show good?

Depp seems to have had the same (lack of) accent coach as Jack Nicholson for The Departed. Hollywood should hire me to their Boston accent coach.

Man, I couldn't even make it through this episode of Comedy Bang Bang. Maybe it's just because of the ads they were in that I always skipped through, but I wasn't feeling Sean and Hayes at all… Should I slog through the rest of it?

I had the opposite experience, only having seen him on Silicon Valley. I was surprised/impressed, and the podcast episode with the call to China was definitely a grepisode.

Inside Amy Schumer is the new Chapelle's Show, except about sexism instead of racism.

It took me several months to realize that one of the biggest reasons I loved playing Skyrim was because of the music. Not the big dramatic pieces or the ones that play when you're in battle, but the more subtle ones that play when you're just out and about or in some Jarl's palace.

Okay let me try again.

You seem to have inferred quite a bit that I neither said nor implied, and in a dismissive way that is kind of insulting.

Ridiculous! It's almost as if comic books are inherently written for 13 year-olds and shouldn't be taken seriously by adults.

As much as I adored this season of The Americans, this finale was almost a little too muted for me. I will always give the creators of this show the benefit of the doubt, but it almost seemed like just they ran out of time, with how little got resolved. And Elizabeth's meeting with her mother felt perfunctory to me.

Henry told Paige he was afraid of being "eaten by a bear" while they were camping. That has to be intentional on the part of the writers, since the bear is the symbol of Russia, right?

Saw these two at a festival a few years ago, and it was definitely a, "I don't care if this means I'm just too old to appreciate it or something, this is fucking awful" moment for me.

"Angry with rage" makes me perplexed with confusion.

While they were first telling Paige the truth, I said to my wife, "She should ask them to speak some Russian." Then like ten minutes later- BAM. So basically I could write for The Americans. And/or the people making this show have done such a good job of crafting these characters that it just made sense that Paige

The Americans has officially reached a new level with this masterful episode. They are truly in a state of magical, alchemical brilliance at this point, to where even bit players are at the top of their game. Watching "Stingers" felt to me a bit like watching "The Godfather Part II" for the first time, and I don't

When Betty asked Elizabeth where her mother was, I thought to myself, "Say 'Russia'!". When she actually did, I kind of couldn't believe it. No show on TV right now can break my heart the way this episode did.

Does any woman have a better laugh than Chelsea Peretti's?

Derek… Noakes… Pedantics!

My parents would try to make me watch The Quiet Man when I was very young, but I was only able to appreciate it later on. Puberty probably helped, since Maureen O'Hara is smoking hot in this movie. She had an amazing laugh too.

On a slightly related note… I had never consumed any non-film Star Wars material (besides Rogue Squadron on N64), until I saw a bunch of Star Wars novels amongst my library's e-books. On kind of a whim, I read a book featuring "Mara Jade" (can't remember the name) and thought it read like mediocre YA.
