Announce new dumb reality show about punching journalists.

I agree 'convention' has too much baggage (memories from adolescent years best left unmentioned) attached to it.

The first programs on television were broadcast live, so you could argue that from its inception TV had a built in 'reality' element. If anything reality shows of today are a poorly contrived (or overly contrived) imitation of the original variety hour shows and their in-the-moment/anything-can-happen entertainment

No.

No, no, no. That's what people say when they see Dana Carvey in the grocery store. (slaps forehead) Sorry, I was totally thinking of Drew Carey.

The evening news = first reality TV…or else The Andy Williams Variety Hour. Yeah, it's a toss up.

For one brief moment I thought Goo said everyone should meet in Ireland, which is close to where I live and I got mildly excited about the thought of a global AV club meet up… Then I re-read it.

I just got a weird Little Shop of Horrors vibe. Suddenly 'Feed me Seymour!' take on ominous new meaning

Its so like women to go for cold, stoic, unreciprocating objects. You give and you give and all you get is a blank wall.

at least these people will never reproduce. Replicate maybe, or manufacture, but not reproduce.

At least in these enlightened times we can put freaks on TV and pay them decent compensation, instead of forcing them into the circus to work for…….

Bombadill was in 'Fellowship of the Ring' game which pretty much followed the books, though the tasks when you're Frodo suck—collect freaking daffodils and avoid giant killer spiders and a tree that eats Samwise, and for what?! So Bombadill can take your hobbitt blood stained flowers and give them as a twisted

So it's a Disney production then? And in this version Bonnie and Clyde are bankers?

yes, it should be 'eye-goobers'

Hey, dicks are people too! (I also do not know what is the argument)

Off topic sort of: I was travelling in India when Braveheart came out. The Hindi translated title was 'Lionheart' because in Hindi there is no direct equivalent to the word 'brave.' Not sure how they translated 'slumdog' but my guess is, seeing how dogs are commonly reviled as dangerous, rabies carrying scavengers,

I find that if I walk at least 3 miles a day I can eat pretty much anything and not gain weight. But since I have a sedentary job, it's better if I stick to one or two light meals a day or else I will balloon fantastically into a Victorian era madam (not such a good look in 21st century clothes). I don't count

If even the pull quotes are crap, that must mean this film is so bad it can't even be enjoyed on an ironic level.

yeah, because that would be retarded.
