This series is a perfect distillation of the epic trolling post that generates a fiery oil-sludged tsunami of comments and page hits. Bravo.

Todd Phillips: NYU film student. No further questions, your honor.

When I thought "Florida crime movies" I immediately thought you'd rightfully praise MIAMI BLUES - but maybe that was a Cult Canon or previous featured film? That for me is probably the gold standard.

Remember when Andrew Niccol wrote THE TRUMAN SHOW and wrote and directed GATTACA?

Seriously, Sean: your tortured sentence construction is pancaked in so much snark kabuki powder it's nigh unreadable.

He's a dubstep Dane Cook phenom. He's Corey Feldman with a mullet. Got it.

Because OMG OMG OMG he's in MAD MEN!!!!

Thank you for the summary. I tend to veer off any road of information that leads to directly to Harry Knowles' grey fleshy lips as squeeing through those crumb-laden, greasy tendrils of beard.

*Ducks*
The idea of this show is better than actually sitting through it. The meta-Andy Kaufman-ness of it all = diminishing returns.

Highly wrought and over-explained. Like a sheet from Tobias Funke's memo pad.

This interview would be better served with a SPOILER warning in the preamble.
I'm not even spoiler-phobic, but since the A.V. Club habitually does this, I'd thought it worth mentioning.

Based on a great book by Ned Vizzini
- that's also mildly autobiographical. The trailer seems pitch-perfect compared to the source material, so I'm encouraged. And thank GOD that Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera are too old and ubiquitous to play the lead in this, or it'd be a self-deprecating hipster shitshow.

In what universe is Palahniuk mainstream and Ellis *not* mainstream? Ellis has been publishing books for ten years longer than Chuck and never been out of print. Neither of them IMHO are mainstream. That's Stephen King territory, isn't it?

It's SHERLOCK HOLMES all over again!
One of the first "buddy movies" of the literary canon! Get Robert Downey Jr. to star. Jude Law to co-star. Guy Ritchie to direct. And slow-fast-slow framed action setpieces as the duo tilts on exploding windmills.

All these proposed titles and not one Capt. Obvious "Taken: Electric Boogaloo" joke? Great work, everyone!

Usually if there's a name in front of the title it's because of copyright (there's already something with the same title so the name differentiates) or because of money via credit negotiation (how one is billed or credited usually affects the paycheck, gross, net, etc).

I'd never heard of DG. So if it took Twitter and 4000 Facebook friends to reveal who the hell Donald Glover is, then mission accomplished!

US release was this week. It's been out in the UK since February, and some of the tracks on this album were accessible as long ago as a year, via EP's, demos, singles, and videos.

I know this is such a bullshitty rationalization when a album I like more than the reviewer did gets a middling grade, but it took me quite a few listens before The Family Jewels" really began to sink in. Notably, "Numb" and "Obsessions" suddenly left me thunderstruck after repeated plays.

Is Colbert available?
Refreshing honesty, and a sly remark on the shallower alternatives in that time slot.
