I'm finding that these reviews a spoiling a lot of offhand gags I should be discovering upon a second viewing. Is there such as thing as "subtle joke spoiler alert"?

"George Miller" by Stanley Elkin. So far it feels like "One Hundred Years of Solitude" but with more cursing.
I had no idea, either. I like it. I guess this site has more angsty gen-xers than I thought?
"Season Two of The Office is possibly the greatest season of television ever. I give it a B-minus."
Thats why study groups in law school are lame. You're literally aiding the enemy.

"Okay, we'll let you use this footage, but only if we get to make ourselves look like fun-hating dweebs in the process."

"her ability to express sadness in the funniest way."

Sorkin has made me retroactively dislike his better works from the past. I can't get through Sports Night and West Wing any more, because I know how smug the guy himself is feeling when writing those lines. Whenever a character named Danny mentions Gilbert & Sullivan I want to throw my TV off the balcony.
I always remembered him as "the military guy who survived in Armageddon".
A hundred waiters and no one to take a drink order.
It's hot in that it's easy to visualize that it's not there.
