Okay, NOW can we start talking about Niel Patrick Harris?

I think this show actually really benefits from the comparison with Entourage, mainly because it does everything right that Entourage did wrong. This season, especially. I tend to forget that it's on until it comes on, and when I watch it, it's always a nice surprise, and I don't hate myself for watching it like I did…

Wow, patronizing AND it doesn't address any of my arguments! But it's okay. If you detach yourself from any kind of sincerity, nobody can hurt you!

He's basically Michael Shannon on Boardwalk Empire, right?

I agree that "To Kill a Mockingbird" is widely considered a classic. It's canon. Everyone learns it. It's considered a piece of essential American literature, it's influential and belongs on this list. I do, however, disagree with the "undisputed" part of the capsule. It's racial politics are well-meaning, but…

Graysmith's motives
As Graysmith explains to Chloe Sevigny, he just wants to look the killer in the eye. And for him, the case is over when he goes to the hardware store and gives Allen that disapproving stare. But what I love about that scene, and what this write-up got right, is that the moment only seems satisfying…

Terms of Endearment
It's a cliche for a reason. I went in not expecting to cry cause I knew the ending, but dammit, it got me like nothing else got me before.

CLIFFORD! Little Clifford!

Favorite "Clifford" moment
I love the scene where Mary Steenburgen says to Charles Grodin, "You don't even like kids!" and Grodin say, "sure I do! I love my nephew!" She says, "Oh yeah? What's his name?" And he looks at her and says, "I wanna say Mason?"

Epic Mickey was pretty awesome.
Anyone else? I don't remember the reviews being mostly tepid, but I know there were a few that didn't get into it. I think the metascore was decent.

Just to echo everyone else, yes, do read Wide Sargasso Sea. It's a wonderfully written post-colonial text.

Mr. Woodcock…
…wants his dodgeball jokes back. They're all he's got.

I would agree with you, Juanito, but everyone knows the A.V. Club doesn't give A+s. Not to grade grub. Except that I am.

Bioware Much?
Great list. I'd have added Mass Effect 3 and Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO, but there was tons of stuff I hadn't heard about, so kudos.

Lonestar
I want to see this solely because it was written by Kyle Killen, who created Lonestar. Mel Gibson makes me want to burn every copy produced. And Jodie Foster provokes no emotions at all.

I enjoy malapropisms. (And even if I got THAT word wrong, I can play it off as a joke!)

Three more.

Blazing Saddles.
Sort of the original Tropic Thunder, in the way it criticizes not just films, but the entire Hollywood studio system of a certain era. Specifically in how it deals with race relations.

Great stuff
I've seen a bunch of his stuff, and Connor isn't just worth looking at for students of film (or film students if your not hip to the whole passive voice thing). His work is incredibly entertaining. A Movie and Cosmic Ray are a blast, and Report is painfully dramatic. This is totally worth seeking out, if…

Is it just me, or is this kind of "weird" movie?
I saw this movie at the WFMU record fair last week (the first half-hour/45 minutes or so), and until Mac's head started biting on Kung Fu's ass (was it Kung Fu?), I had no idea what kind of movie I was watching. It could be an homage to old-Hollywood or musicals or soap…
