Season 1 is okay, but a bad place to start because the show was
finding its footing; jokes are there but they hadn't cemented the
extremes of the character quirks yet. Season 2 is where it really
begins. I'd say that seasons 2-6 are the golden age, crazy consistent in terms of quality. Season 7 had a couple of solid

Not to say, "I saw Tool before they were anybody," but, uhhh, I saw Tool before they were anybody. The lead singer played the entire show with his back to the crowd and for entire songs he'd remain crouched down in a ball right in front of the drum kit. We all thought he was either having some bit of performance

I think its pretty weak to dismiss the episode because Charlie was "mean." After the turnabout, he was still sweet Charlie; that sweetness lasered in on the waitress. He's been manipulative before (Charlie Gets Cancer, Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom, The Nightman Cometh), again, all times when it came down to his obsession

^Thats because the critic on that dvd, Andy Klein, doesn't really know much about classic kung fu movies. Its a real problem with the genre. Films of that era have a muddy history as it is, you've really got to be bi-lingual to do the right research, so most "kung fu experts" only have misinformed

I think the lack of modern grindhouse films has less to do with writer/director filmmaker talent (or un-talent) and more to do with production. There is a real homogeneity because most of the b-guys try to compete with slicker, big budget material. Film making methods have gotten cleaner so where they once sold cheap

When I saw Grindhouse (opening day), I got the vibe that most of the people in the theater had little idea what they were in for. And, yep, several got up to walk out after Planet Terror. Death Proof's talky stretches had all the numb butts squirming. I heard a lot of people complaining after it was all over: too

I saw Severance and the impression it left was that there wasnt enough juice in the satirical stabs and plotting to sustain the runtime. It was like a good, black comic horror short padded out via a bunch of hysterically annoying characters and some ill-advised weightier moments.

I like Snyder's Dawn of the Dead. I dont call it a remake either because other than superficials of title, the mall, and zombies it has zero to do with Romero's Dawn. I think the zombie-baby business is the only part of it that doesn't work. Otherwise, its an entertaining, muscular, horror-action movie.

The Gov and the town in the comic are pretty much from the outset seen as hellish and twisted. One note, but it works considering how demented he is. A disorganized mind takes dictatorial charge like the Gov in the comics did.

Well, I'd say its a tad early to judge as she's barely had any screentime on the tv show. This is the first ep she's had any prolonged exposure. But, yeah, in the comic she's one-dimensional as hell. A dollop of backstory, not a lot of talk, keeps herself emotionally distant, mostly hacks at some zombies.

I'm not really warming to the actress playing Michonne because she seems way too physically slight. Shes just not threatening looking. In the comic, she's basically this badass cypher, imposing from first glance. She'd be better embodied by a woman who looked more like Ann Wolfe.
