I thought the first 15 minutes of the first movie was pretty great, considering they must have spent a good deal of the payroll budget on what was basically a well-planned fake out.

That sounds a little too close to universal health care to me, pal.

As a dedicated Avenged Sevenfold fan, and not one of the thousand posers who eat shit and don't even know good music, I need a username that truly embodies the sheer magitude of my love for the greatest band ever.  I know: its_your_fuckin.  What?  Some poser already has it?  Fine…

I thought Helena Bonham Carter in a wig was her full name. 

That's pretty much right.  At this point, the MI movie franchise might as well be called the Ethan Hunt movies, as they are pretty far removed from the source material.  Not that the original show was a very deep or complex universe, but it really was supposed to be about a team. 

Get Johnny Depp dressed as a woman pretending to be a man to do it.  The part of Johnny Depp dressed as a woman will, of course, be played by Helena Bonham Carter in a wig.

Once an idea for a horror story clears that hurdle between "terrible" and "feature film", it's going to go trilogy.  For example, Gingerdead Man 3.

That last line is lifted straight from Sailor Moon.  I know Sailor Moon, and you, sir, are no Sailor Moon.

Spell-maggedon Fever is sweeping the nation already!

A girl who can eat $6000 cake isn't going to accept anything less than a Red Shoe Diary.

I typed it, and then I thought about it, and then I decided to let one of you guys run with it.  You're welcome.

You've got the wrong attitude, Lena.  You haven't really made it until Hustler makes a parody of you.  This is it.  The BIG time! *jazz hands*

And my point is that this show has trouble maintaining it's faux reality status because nobody, from the owners to the HR department to the employees, are behaving in any way that resembles reality.  That's because it's not reality.  It's scripted.  It's completely fabricated.  Not like American Choppers, which is a

All those shows you listed are about what those businesses do, and the drama unfolds in the course of regular work.  American Choppers is about a bunch of guys who are really good at chopping or whatever, and they are super passionate about it. The same for the rest of except Hardcore Pawn, which is clearly fake and

This is fake, right?  The reason it doesn't stand up to anything even approaching reality is because it's scripted nonsense. Why wouldn't they just lose the dead weight?  How does a company stay sucessful for 17 years with a staff of family that clearly does not like each other?  Why would the "bottom three" choose to

That makes sense.  People who would make porn parodies of comic books would be the sort of people who read comic books and then write their own comic books except with sex in them, and they are a whole industry all on their own.  Amazon is getting in on the ground floor of that cash cow.

Oh right.  It was beagle vomit.  My mistake.  That was a pretty good episode.

You know what?  I'm all for it.  It's not a vapid singing competition.  It's not about who can eat the most rat vomit in 5 minutes.  It's not going to make a star out of someone whose only accomplishment was getting pregnant at 16.  The worst crime a show like this is going to commit is showcasing people who brag

Oh, this was the tipping point?  It wasn't that episode of Jersey Shore where Snooki drank a bottle of Jack before 10 am and then took a crap in a mini-fridge?  Or the special edition of Good Morning America with the expose on Snooki getting drunk before 10 am and taking a dump in a mini-fridge?  Or the Third Reich?

I'd like to Phone-a-Friend.
