Yes, because I am the only person you know who has said that, then nobody must think that way. I am also looking forward to this, I was just cautiously optimistic when I posted my comment because it sounded awfully ambitious.

Um, ok, hi asshole. What I meant was the people behind this Tarantino project seem to be really heavily promoting this one like it is gonna change the way we think about slavery (or maybe that's just the folks at AV Club haha) and QT doesn't seem to strike me as the type to get on his high horse. I mean he made

That's exactly my point. It won't be a slavery movie (or interracial relations movie) that will sit well with those kind of folks.

Anyone else afraid this movie turns out to be the biggest flop of Tarantino's career? There just seems like way too much self-awareness about how "important" this movie is, and that's not at all his style.

I really love how for such a scathing (and accurate) unpacking of Sorkin's writing and artistic ambition, I love that Rabin maintains the fact that he is a fantastic writer. Read any of his scripts and you know this to be true, but as all good writers do, they develop a God complex and they get inside their own head

I believe Tracy Jordan is supposed to be a satire of how black men are used in comedy. I highly doubt Tina Fey would be involved in something that blatantly condescends minorities.

I love that Carrie's character seemingly has no bounds because we don't know the extent of her "illness." Whether it was her boss (David), or our boy Brody, both times I thought briefly that maybe she would fuck them to get what she wants. Her flirty repartee with both suggested as much. could you imagine? Be the

I don't know man, and episode where Mr. Mackey shoots across the floor because of an explosive shit is automatically awesome. Also, the suicide note, complete with "Mkay. Eric Cartman." This was a great showcase.

and Edward Norton! One of my favorites too. So well acted, so heartbreaking, and yet a hell of a ride through an all too real universe. Spike Lee's second best after Do the Right Thing for me.

I am perplexed. I loved this episode. i disagree vehemently that Ron Swanson has to get more and more outrageous. To me it is funnier to see how his man's man routine applies in different scenarios. I loved the Swansons at the end.

oh yeah, and that was her Oscar-winning role?

I haven't caught that one. I'll check it out.

I'm surprised Todd neglected to mention the other great films Anna Paquin has been in. X-Men, X2 and 25th Hour. Though he seemed to interpret the question wrong and instead of "actors we hate in movies we love" he did, "actors we hate that were surprisingly good in a couple instances."

Ben Affleck all the way. Hate the guy. Hate his whole bostonian shtick. For being from Cambridge his accent is awfully fake. I know this because I live there currently and nobody likes him. Kinda like Dane Cook. But I will be damned if he hasn't acted in, directed and written some great ones (but frankly there are a

EXACTLY. And for what it's worth I totally judge you for liking Kravitz haha.

The oscillating fan idea was GENIUS. Nothing is scarier and/or funnier than something that is outside your line of vision popping in. Kept you tense EVERY TIME.

lemme guess, a stab at his defense of 2 Broke Girls and/or Glee? Poor guy…that shit will follow him forever.

HAHA. Yes let's! Though as I mentioned below I tend to have hipster sensibilities when it comes to movies and TV.

I don't know, Sam's Town is a helluva album

Yeah, I fully recognize that while my taste for TV and movies generally aligns with AV Club writers and followers, my taste in music is not nearly as…I can't think of a nice way to say this…pretentious? I enjoy music on a much more basic level than I do with the more narrative mediums like film, TV and books. Music to
