Andy's talking head would've been much sharper if he had left out the fact that he took off his pants. Having him say, "…took some pills, drank some wine…" and then they panned out to him with no pants on, it would've been a good sight gag and at least made the viewer make the small logical leap of pills+wine = no

Things get sticky when you start talking about Blu-Ray as opposed to DVD. The picture I get from Blu-Rays is far superior to anything my computer (2 years old) or PS3 can produce, even with a Netflix "HD" stream. Plus, the bandwidth I get from my internet service can vary (because it's shit), so I often don't get an

It's likely been said here further down in the comments (I'm too lazy to read all the comments), but the main reason I prefer discs over streaming, at least right now, is image quality. My internet service isn't the fastest around, and while the "HD" version of streaming video on Netflix looks pretty good, I can't

"I love all gay people… as long as they don't choose to be gay! Otherwise I'm going to accuse them of destroying society! And I'm fully unaware of what Greek and Roman men did with little boys 2,000 years ago! Ignorance is bliss!"

The first time I saw it, I thought it was pretty stupid. It just seemed like Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly were looking for an excuse to act like idiots for 90 minutes. Upon repeated viewings, however, it gets funnier and funnier.

WHO TOLD YOU?

Having not watched any promos for this episode, Kathryn Hahn was a terrific surprise. Her line, "
I wanna roll you up into a little ball and shove you up my vagina," from Step Brothers gets me every time.

I don't want to give Rush too much credit here (because he is a useless gasbag asshole, after all), but I don't think you get to the position he's been in with the longevity he's had without some fairly significant amount of intelligence. Don't get me wrong—he's no Rhodes scholar, but he's no dummy either. He knows

The worst thing people do with Rush Limbaugh is give him attention. He's a pompous piece of shit hypocrite who even my ultra-conservative father-in-law can't stand. He purposely says inflammatory things because it gives him attention and that attention inflates his already massive ego to absurd proportions. While he's

Or maybe I could read the entire article, and see that the "scheduled programming" part was a joke. Whoops.

Unless you've chosen the "streaming-only" service. It appeared that Netflix was moving toward constantly expanding their streaming offerings, and the on-demand side of that was very attractive. Hastings is clearly saying that he wants to move toward scheduled programming, which is a terrible idea, considering

It really does seem like he's trying to ruin his own business, doesn't it? Normally businesses want to expand; wouldn't it make sense to continue the previous trajectory of offering more and better streaming choices (before the Starz debacle) while also attempting to add more original content? Apparently Hastings

We called them "kamikazes" in Houston. Still a pretty dark connotation.

You forgot to put "The Celebrity Apprentice" just ahead of Chris Brown, where it really belongs.

I think you've hit on an important point. While the majority of ads are fairly obnoxious and intrusive (how else are they going to get your attention? By being clever? Pshaw!), the variety keeps people from slitting their wrists or, more importantly (to the networks, at least), changing the channel. Commercials aren't

Live action or GTFO.

Good point. It seems like NBC is searching for that next tentpole property to hold up their Thursday nights. While Parks & Rec is probably going to be that show, it's still juuuuust a little too left-of-mainstream to be as attractive as The Office to the casual viewer. Up All Night could be the most appealing one, but

I wouldn't be surprised to see this season (or the next one) as The Office's final.

You can play terrible music as commendably as possible. It's still terrible music.

Well, that just goes without saying.
