But I don't want to be 'like'd. One of the reasons I deactivated my Facebook account was because the whole 'like'ing thing put me off. If you want to introduce a flagging system, fair enough. I see the purpose and reasoning behind that. But why does score-keeping have to be applied to people's opinions and…

Actually, it's "Black Sabbath" by "Black Sabbath" *from* "Black Sabbath".

I was thoroughly unimpressed with Zombieland. Did not laugh, did not really care what happened; it managed to maintain my interest from beginning to end and that's it. A completely meh movie.

I called it, but am too lazy to hunt through earlier comments for when I did. I knew Hong Kong Phooey was inevitable, and solicited casting choices from the AV Club community. I'm pretty sure Eddie Murphy was not suggested, but I do remember my pick: DMX.

The incentive to provide the greatest possible service to achieve the greatest possible result. What's the biggest drawback of socialism? Apathy. There's no inherent systematic element to…

For Piscopo, it was more about how he felt he was doing a respectful, reverent impersonation-as-tribute of Sinatra, and Hartman just played him as a surly, mean-spirited bully who just shit all over everybody.

This thread is boring. I think I'll go watch a DVD disc.

I share my name with a periodontist in Lincoln, Nebraska. I get it business hours Monday through Friday, and he gets it nights and weekends.
