One Half Gallon of Pavlovian Slobber
What is it about the term "pint sized" that makes me want to punch?

I finished depict1 just a few hours ago. There seems to be a general theme with such types of narrators lately, even between the entries in this article.

Dibs!
If we still get to grow when we're in our 30's, I want bigger boobs.

What about the older Bottle Rocket short film?
The board is silent, but since I've finally seen this, has anyone been able to compare this to the short that this feature was based on? Pretty similar, too, if you want to talk about consistency from the word go. I think his earlier stuff, rough around the edges,

They already made a heist film with Owen Wilson
Bottle Rocket, and it was good.

Whilst Karl?
I'm a bit disappointed that he never reveals here just why he takes to randomly insulting old Karl instead of taking him to task on his theories directly. Sorry, bit of a sore spot with me.

Lessee… of the ones I've played, I don't think Monkey Island was that big a deal, nor was Day of the Tentacle. Haven't played Brutal Legend but DID play Psychonauts and feel that the Meat Circus was ridiculous (the bosses themselves weren't so bad to me, it was the damned ascent and platforming that gave me the

The minute hand is slightly past the hour hand! Boo! Spooky!
I think 11:11 looks pretty creepy, but only on a digital clock. Probably because it looks like teeth. That's about as significant as I think it gets.

Facts, Purely Presented (we can handle it)
If there's a movement in documentaries that is less about commentary then I'm all for it. If the strength of the material speaks, little else is necessary in a lot of cases. The discomfort for the audience is us having to come up with our own conclusions, rather than be

It's 2D, so as far as I'm concerned I'm waking from my coma and seeing if they've made another good 2D Sonic game in the fine Sonic tradition.

Playing the Field
Looking forward to Doublefine's other releases. They're going to be a smaller group of games rather than a single huge one this time, right?

Suffer an indignity, and you gain an audience
What you do with that audience, however, may still be made of stupid.

Mashed Taxiatoes
Klinger got more human as he was given more time. The "joke" got a bit distracting when things were looking ugly, but he managed to add a bit of variance to the greens and browns of the army. It also was sort of a measuring stick for obvious rebellion; while the doctors were allowed a bit more leeway

I guess someone had to take over after the anti-DnD Christian fanatics got tired of them.

Film Threat scooped them on these revelations, in more detail, a long time ago
Same galaxy, though:

Heck, this sounds like one of the better books in the whole feature
You don't hear about satirical takes on the old stand-bys very often. Chandler sounds really invigorating. Too bad he's not more well-known!

Glad I can't take all essential viewing recommendations seriously or I'd never get anywhere, but I was going to ask if the lack of any knowledge of the comic might affect one's impressions at all. I saw egg-shaped people with big eyes staring back at me on the shelves, but that was about as much of Scott Pilgrim as I

(yes, I'm a geek)
DOES it have a measured look at geekery in contrast to the people it criticises, and does their hobby obsession seem interchangeable with any other consuming habit? Not sure I could stomach something that seems so condescending.

His character, too
He was awesome in Six Feet Under.

Thank You, Colbert
If you pretend all his statements are ironic self-criticism, he's actually a lot easier to listen to.
