The only good Pitchfork review is the one trashing the awful Daft Punk remix album, with helpful pictorials.

Bill: Nah, there weren't really eighty-eight of them. They just called themselves "The Crazy 88." 
Budd: How come? 
Bill: I don't know. I guess they thought it sounded cool.

The henchmen in tank tops were Brujahs!

Hansel & Gretel 2: Book of Secrets

That described what I thought Dredd would be, yet turned out to be the complete opposite of what Dredd actually was.

It's like how in Battlestar Galactica, Bob Dylan is the Robo-God, or something.

Knowing NBC, they'd screw it up by attempting to cross over this show with 1600 Penn by making Leslie that guy's chief of staff.

It's very spooky that you mention that film because as a freshman in college, I shared "Brick" on DVD with my roommate, and he shared "Better Luck Tomorrow" with me. That's the only possible reason the two films are linked to each other in my mind, since they were released years apart and share little similarity

He lacks the height and reach.

Funny, I feel the same way about Looper.

My main problem I think is that an agricultural setting is far less relateable to audiences than the office workplace setting, and NBC comedies being what they are, the Farm would be full of bizarre and outrageous caricatures of what NBC comedy writers think country life is like.

I think I just want the actors and actresses of The Office to all go and do other projects. It's not even about the quality of the show, it's just it feels like it's been around long enough for them to go do other things with their careers instead of playing the same bunch. Then again, I might have thought the same of

Dwight was always nonsensical, but I think this episode, as described in the review, made sense to his character. His family was far less well-defined, but it makes sense since this was basically a teaser for a hypothetical spin-off. His brother wasn't very clear- does he have a rivalry with Dwight, or is he just a

Clearly the worst part about Apollo 13 were the dream sequences in which Tom Hanks imagines making love to the moon.

I always thought that the Machiavellian blood feud between the Montagues and the Capulets was far more captivating than the dalliances of some dumb kids. Get off the stage, lovebirds, there's duels to be fought!

Gonna repeat the point I made earlier: NBC Thursday Night comedies have always been having a gooey feel-good emotional center. Schrute's impromptu family were more oddly affecting than merely wacky (I particularly liked how Zeke- or Ziek?- was not too different from Mose), and so much bloviating was made of its human

The thing about NBC Thursday night comedies is that if you bring on the schmaltz, the reviewers eat it up. That explains the ascendency of Parks and Rec, and why Community (prior to this season) was the darling despite the repeated usage of Winger speeches and other structural formulas. The portrayal of the Schrutes

This episode wasn't that great, but for once that ruthless dictatorial activist politician Leslie got her comeuppance. And the socialist reviewer downgrades its rating? What a freeloading parasite.

Will this inspire the History Channel to abandon lowest common denominator sensationalist/reality TV trash and pursue an AMC-type revival? All prophecies point to No!
