Does that mean I got laid by the Ember Island Players? Because I'm totally cool with that.

Actor-Jet was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, who voiced Appa and Momo through the series' run.
The structure of “The Boy In The Iceberg” establishes Aang as the protagonist but winds up celebrating the victory of Fire Lord Ozai, who only appears in the last two scenes.
Gawd, why was Undertow so underappreciated? Neither critics nor audiences were positive about it, but I still think it's best movie: gorgeous, tense, and elliptical in the best ways.
Me, too. What's so great about the blind guy scene is something you don't get much in contemporary horror: patience. It takes its time before leaping out at you.
Yeah, for me the best one-two punch in the show's lineup is "Kim Kelly Is My Friend" and "Tests and Breasts". Without doubt. There's not a bad episode in the whole run. The low point is maybe "Chokin' and Tokin'", but even that one gives a nice showcase to everyone's favorite underdog, Millie, and that's still a…
Not sure how you got dry out of it, but to each his own. It's a pretty vicious satire about terrible people that the author holds in open contempt. The last sentence in particular is one of those laugh out loud, but feel bad for laughing moments.
Yeah, the show was my first introduction to some classic vaudeville routines: "Niagara Falls! Slowly I turned…"
I think Heller's referring to the Introduction, which is a more straightforward autobiographical note and not terrible. You can read it here.
It's all about meticulously constructed setpieces. I remember hearing an interview years back where they talked about how every episode's script began with the conclusion - a setpiece as over-the-top as they could imagine - and then worked backwards to get there. It sounds formulaic (and sometimes is), but it also…
In fact, if you want a long discussion by Kinkade about all the "meaning" he put into his work, you can read about it here.
Eh… Not sure what you disagree with. Kinkade branded himself a mass-market painter: he railed against what he felt was the outmoded "hyper-individualism" (his words) of art. These are his own words:
Yeah, they managed to round out the final episode in a perfectly satisfying way: there's no need to continue the story.
Yikes. I thought this was an exaggeration, but you can read a few pages over on Google books, and if anything you're understating just how awful the writing is. It begins,
Dear Paul Feig: awesome interview, and I hope you've since gone back and read Madame Bovary, because it's an amazing book whose amazingness is usually lost on high schoolers.
"Tests and Breasts" is my favorite episode. If there's one line from the entire run that my husband and I quote obsessively, it's "Track one, track two, and track three!"
You know the scene in Apocalypse Now is an homage to one of the most famous scenes in silent cinema, right? It's from Eisenstein's Strike, and probably should have been on this list, too.
Flipside for me. I tend to find books by pundits to be vapid, but it looks like she did some honest-to-goodness research here, and the review has me more curious than I thought I'd be.
I have to disagree with you on this:
O'Neal, I have to commend you on keeping this at a low simmer of barely concealed contempt. Nicely done.
