I re-watched Deadwood recently, and I was surprised by how incredibly cold and uneventful the pairing of Bullock and Martha was.  No chemistry between them whatsoever, and they are given very little to work with.  I think the first time I watched it, I was so caught up in the other plots and characters that I wasn't…

Upbeat treatment of horribly depressing subjects is TMBG's wheelhouse, so I heartily agree.

I don't want to get into ranking Spielberg, but Catch Me If You Can would be somewhere in the top 3.  I even love Tom Hanks' ridiculous accent.

If I squint, I can kind of…

YES.  The "Nature" two-parter and Season 3 combined is a masterpiece, and considering the quality of what preceded it and the network trouble it had, it's an absolute gift that it exists.  You want to talk about lifetime passes, Dino Stamatopoulos (and, to some extent, Scott Adsit) get them for that stretch of Moral…

It's merch from the webcomic Cat and Girl.  If that sticker annoyed you, I do not suggest checking it out.

The second time I read V., all of the stuff with (SPOILERS?) Veronica Wren/Vera Meroving/Veronica Manganese/The Bad Priest made so much more sense, and was infinitely more playful and interesting.  Everything I saw initially as chronologically confusing and only tenuously connected just clicked into place.  It's…

The Prufrock bit is enough to bump him to the top of my library queue.  Stuff like that makes me incredibly happy.

Sadly, no one has.  Nor has anyone mentioned the song The Monarch sings to his Butter Glider.  Nor "Rusty!" from Dr. Venture's musical.  Nor the O.S.I. theme parodying the same from G.I. Joe.

"They call her Lace because she's thin, white and full of holes!"  I lost it at that sketch when it aired.

I've never read Millhauser's short fiction, but considering how much I loved Edwin Mullhouse, perhaps I should.  That is a novel that doesn't get anywhere near the credit it deserves.

I smoke pretty regularly.  Sometimes I'll stop for a month or so if I start to feel sluggish or depressed, or if I want to let my tolerance drop down a bit - been doing so since I was 16, and I'm 23 now.  I had the beginnings of an Adderall problem about a year and a half ago, so I stopped, though I enjoyed it quite a…

Take Offs and Landings is a perfect summer album.  If it weren't for Blake Sennett's vocals, it would be a perfect album, period.

As a sometimes-listener to Doug Loves Movies,  I had a feeling Tig Notaro's answer was going to be Beasts of the Southern Wild.  Also, the only way Adam Scott could be more perfect would be if…

Martin Starr!

I wish I had more likes to give, because you speak the truth.
