I've been referring to GPS as Google's Map all weekend so I got a kick out of that one.

At the credits for the previous season finale, my roommate turned to me and said, "so this is a bad show, right?" I reflexively begin mounting a modest defence, but the laws of physics prevented the existence of a caveat large enough to form a sentence ending with "but it's still worth watching." At that moment, I…

I think that calling Gimple the showrunner might be a misnomer. He's more like a show-relay-racer: he'll get to see his pitch for the season through to the end, then AMC will shit-can him for somebody else as soon as he tries to suggest something more ambitious/expensive. I hear the kid who plays Carl has some great…

I think that half the lines this week might have been slurred or mumbled in some way, which is great, because Jake Johnson and Max Greenfield are the masters of garbled punchlines and comic mispronunciation. As for Winston, part of me kinda wishes he'd go back to being the straight man; the only thing I connected with…

Agreed, Saraiya's bringing the heat this week.

It's a perfectly understandable way of approaching the material. A really great comedy that has a strong emotional core, like Parks does, needs to have organic humor. But on episodes like this, that feel and even look a little more cartoonish than something like "Harvest Festival," or "London," you still want to…

The basic concept is what's most upsetting about the film, but it isn't a snuff film. There is however one particularly gorey reveal of what happens when space debris makes contact with a human face. It's only a couple seconds, but may be a little rough for some younger viewers.

It's really a great time, though it's almost hard to call it a movie, seeing as the story is so simple. Experience may be the better word. This might sound like damning with faint praise, but Gravity is like the best Universal Orlando theme park movie-based roller coaster you could ever imagine…and that's coming from…

Official “The Finale Was Great, But” Thread

Fuck Benedict Cumberbatch, Rhetta as Sherlock Holmes is the only detective show I want to watch now

Because of course Leslie would know the Webster's definition of "friend" off by heart.

New feature: Cinema-Todd-graphy. It's exactly what it sounds like - Todd gives his take on some of film and television's most memorably composed shots. 
It's usually just an hour of him squinting at the screen with his teeth bared. Occasionally he pulls a pistol out and shoots at the TV (mostly when children are…

That last sentence should be really depressing, but it's actually kinda inspiring. It's been that kind of pilot season.

Haven't watched it yet, but either the pilot ends with Phil Coulson putting a bullet in the head of a rat S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, or I'm out. Use of the song "Bawitdaba" is optional.

MASTERS OF SEX!!!!

Damn, I was gonna say the same thing. And I didn't even bring popcorn!

Next week on Winston's slow-train to becoming a serial killer: convinced there's a secret message hidden in a recognizable, yet royalty fee-light '80s song, Winston resolves to find the artist who performs it. As you might imagine, their encounter ends with duck tape, binding rope, and some general tomfoolery.

Final Shot of the Series Spitballin':

Of all the fucked up things on this show, I don't know if I've been thrown for a loop so hard as seeing snow in Breaking Bad. It just felt…wrong. In a good way.
