I liked Hooks, but Gasteyer better than Poelher? A.P. anchored (no Weekend Update pun intended) that show after Farrell left, and she's great on Parks and Rec. I'd put her in the top five SNL females, easy. Maybe top 3.

I prefer the show. Possibly because I find Altman's techniques, such as his irritatingly overlapping dialogue, overrated and tedious. I also think he's such an egotistical stuffed shirt, he could have been turned into a character that replaced Frank instead of Winchester. Also, he's got a lot of nerve accusing…

As a kid I found LL a bit cartoonish and thought Winchester was a better stooge because he seemed more realistic to me. But my Dad opined that LL was the best actor on the show, because whereas the other actors got to play off each other, LL inhabited a mind and world completely of his own. In time I came to see…

Yeah, Jim, Merle didn't shy away from the objectification. From "So Round, So Firm, So Fully Packed," "if you don't think she's a lot of fun / just ask the man that owns one." Ouch.

But Bret Ratner made one of the greatest music videos of ALL TIME!

Chernobyl, I think what you meant to say is that Zombieland is BOTH scary AND funny. Which is very, very rare. The gold standards there being Evil Dead 2 and An American Werewolf in London.

Cool link Sinbad. :^)

Ditto the thanks, Nathan. I've got one collection of Hank T. and scattered other tracks, but I never thought of his relation to Wills in terms of his offering a tamer version that was more popular (didn't know that either.)

Is this really the FIRST you've heard of Thompson?

Baxter, have you got nothing better to do than watch TV have a couple of brews?

I love Lost but agree that re-watching the series holds little appeal. I've re-watched Buffy- which is an even longer set - several times over, and if I thought Lost would be anywhere near as rewarding in terms of revealing new layers of subtext and intricate connections, I might go for it. But since we know there…

I love that they think ripping off a bit that Dan Ackroyd did in drag as Julia Childs on live television will still be funny over 30 years later as recreated by Ben Stiller in terrible sequel to a terrible sequel. God Bless America.

I officially gave up on Deniro after seeing the first 20 minutes of Showtime with him & Eddie Murphy. I tried to make it 30 minutes in before pulling the plug, but its awfulness absolutely compelled me.

I get that vinyl is capable of greater sound quality, even if I don't care because it's a huge pain and CD's sound great to me.

I think the wording is a stretch, and seems designed to fill some quota of verbal jabs. (Placebo-wit, perhaps?) I've commented on Sean's auto-snark mode before myself. I find it grating, and it pulls down the level of his otherwise good writing.

The best lead in for Bored to Death would be something that changes the channel to something good at the end. I wanted to like show a lot, but didn't a lot.

Arrows, not to mention the best of the HBO series on DVD. I do miss Bill Maher, but not enough to resubscribe at this point. Maybe I'll get it for a month at the end of the season and watch them all On Demand.

"Too goddamned precious" is how I would characterize those scenes with all the hip artists giving their most earnest performances and tributes. Boring as hell is another way.

Andy = calm voice of reason at the center of a bunch of eccentrics.

Thank you Chodo Death, for tagging Newman for those bullshit bits they did on Seinfeld. Those mannered exchanges with Newman's faux super villain proclamations were absolutely unbearable. Seinfeld should have kept his Superman fixation out of the show at that point. It was forced and awful.
