I don't like Kevin Smith, but even I agree with you uselessbeauty.

Adam West is the best of all time, if you ask me. Whether you like his version of Batman or not, I think it's hard to argue that for what it is, he did an absolutely fantastic job with it.

Gone off all half-cocked.

I like how even the people who claim to like the post-2000 Simpsons are listing episodes that came in or just after 2000, further proving that the show has been getting worse and worse.

I like to imagine that slimy producer making that phone call, and immediately being told "Go fuck yourself." Because even a guy with Downs Syndrome would be smart enough to know dating Taylor Swift is a terrible idea.

What makes you say El Chupacabra is Mexican? I don't recall him ever saying his ethnicity.

While I can't argue with Erik's criticisms of the story, what saves the episode is that it is packed with brilliant gags. Yeah, the story is weak, but it's easy to forgive when you're laughing nonstop from beginning to end.

@avclub-90a5da808b7409c044aac94d490e7f0d:disqus , I think what you're saying is generally true, but not universally true. Some people can change a lot as they get older. Maybe the bigotry was always there to some degree, but there are open-minded people who become less so as they get older. I see Card as someone who,…

I think we can draw lines at different places. Personally, I can tolerate an artist having views I think are wrong as long as:

Um… no? There are plenty of actors who are just actors without ever having been in a band of any kind. Pretty much all the big name, respected actors and actresses have always been actresses. Even if we leave off the older actors and focus on new, fresh faces, it's not hard to think of people. Haruka Ayase, Mokomichi…

While I agree with the reviewer that the first 40 minutes of Todd Glass's show with Jimmy Pardo is kind of a slog, once Jimmy gets there it's great from start to finish. I highly recommend listening if you're a fan—just skip through the first part if it's stuff you've already heard.

The awesomeness of his "karaoke tracks" must be acknowledged!

This podcast definitely has potential but it has not had time to develop. I hope they do get on a regular schedule, because it's such a waste otherwise.

I know! It's like, yeah, on an intellectual level I do agree. I mean, I think it's disgusting but the fact is that if animals really don't want to do something, you can tell. If you've ever tried to give a dog a bath you know what I'm talking about. So I think it probably shouldn't be illegal—at the very least, I…

You know, this movie is the only time I can think of where the censored TV edit made the joke funnier. There's a part where Jeff Daniels' character is telling a very obvious joke about crossing a bulldog and a shitzu, and what did we get? (Answer: a bullshit). In the movie, the joke is that he is laughing so hard at…

I think that's a pretty fair assessment @openid-111502:disqus. Especially for Ponyo—there's not much to the film besides the visuals, but then you get the impression they weren't even really trying. Everything feels like one big excuse for the artwork. Still, it's forgivable because the artwork is some of Studio…

I'm not a fan of The Nerdist either, but occasionally he gets guests that are so great I just HAVE to listen. Because even though Hardwick and company may not be much fun to listen to, hearing someone like, say, Tom Hanks talk about how he got started in the industry is absolutely riveting no matter who is doing the…

It is possible to learn things from games and get something worthwhile out of it—and I'm sure Doug would agree with this. He and Scott are just saying that video games, the way they played them, were a huge waste of time.

She is obviously justified in THINKING he assaulted (or at least harassed) her. From her point of view, it totally looked like he was in the process of grabbing her ass. She turned around to see Homer reaching out, drooling as his hand extended towards her ass. The show went to great pains to make sure she was…

I think Bart's Comet also deserves recognition for having such great joke structure. So many callbacks, and jokes that sneak up and hit you with a great payoff. It got better every time I watched it, and could see how rich and multi-layered it was.
