That bit seemed a bit dated, like something that would have been funny about ten years ago. (It seems like I've seen the poor Russian peasant woman character before on SNL, although I can't remember where specifically, so I might be thinking of a different show). Incidentally, I've traveled in provincial Russia, and…

Yeah, that meeting in the conference room drove me crazy. Especially when Pete's ex, who was presented as a professional and serious-minded character in the first couple of scenes, goes along with Andy's plan and starts insulting Pete without provocation. I mean, I hope it's all building towards some form of ultimate…

Meh, I loved that exchange. I mean, the whole thing with characters spouting eloquent dialogue and using vocabulary and turns of phrase probably beyond their education level is kind of a "Justified" trademark, especially when it comes to Boyd's character.

Yeah. I think it might feel that way because there hasn't been as much violence this season compared to the past couple of seasons. At least that's how it seems to me. I seem to remember people getting executed left and right the first couple of episodes last season.

I can't think of a good one, I'm totally stumped.

How freaking short is that dude, by the way? All I know is that he and Whoopi Goldberg were pretty much level, and you have to subtract at least one inch from him because of that Vanilla Ice thing on his head.

I'll admit to getting a few chuckles out of it the first couple of times I saw it. Even though I wasn't quite sure what it was supposed to be spoofing, other than some general stereotype of Californians, I enjoyed the sheer absurdity of it. And it definitely got pretty huge laughs out of the audience, as I remember.…

I don't know why I have such an irrational loathing for the commercials featuring either talking babies or adults talking like children. Like, I just instinctively hit the mute button until they are over.

I grew up in a farming family, have a lot of respect for the lifestyle, but that damn commercial was sappy enough to drown a forest.

I've always liked Musburger, although the quality of his analysis has decreased as he's gotten older. If we're opening up the competition to other sports, Bill Walton used to do NBA and some college basketball telecasting. Just a loud, obnoxious buffoon.

Are you sure you don't mean "subjective" here?

Yeah, agree with Benny Motherfucking Profane. His short story collections are pretty short and very quick reads; you can get through them in a day, probably. So on the off chance you don't like his style, you won't have wasted too much time.

The two movies might be comparable in that they both generated lots of controversy, but it's probably kind of an apples and oranges comparison. I think they were scrutinized for very different reasons. JFK is sort of in a class by itself; a three-hour, star studded, blockbuster film basically pushing the argument that…

banger in the mouth: Couldn't agree more with Stewart's interview style.  I love the guy, and respect the hell out of him for really revolutionizing satirical political news, but I too often am disappointed when he has very interesting guests on and doesn't let them get a word in edgewise. It's interesting to compare…

Yeah, they used to reserve the final two-thirds of the show for interviews only when they had high caliber guests on. Now it seems every other guest gets that treatment. I would say that the interviews were often too short when they comprised only the final segment of the show. But they should be able to find a way to…

I think that's a bit harsh. Because of his frantic and paranoid style, when he's on, I find his bits sidesplittingly hilarious, but when he is just ranting without any insight, as you point out, his bits fall flat. The lack of audience applause is more noticeable when his face is turning red and he is fuming. But he's…

Well, we did have Lynyrd Skynyrd playing at that walker/gladiator fight thing in tonight's episode. I'm guessing that's not what you have in mind, though, when saying the show needs more music :-)
