More quotes from the Academy president
"Some website called the AV Club told us that Franco was a god who walks among men because of some TV show called 'Freaks and Geeks.' They assured us that he'd fart rainbows and levitate people in the audience by smiling at them. We were fools."

Spaced vs. McSpaced
The only exposure I've had to McSpaced was the clip from a previous TV Club, but I think Todd unintentionally nails why the American pilot failed. Even in those couple of minutes, you can tell all of those characters barely tolerate each other, like they're all forced at gunpoint to interact. They…

They talk about this in the commentary. Phantom Menace wasn't out yet while they were filming — in fact, at the time they were looking forward to it because a buddy of their's (Peter) was working on it.

@magnusbarfod — "I was going to bring this up, from reading the review: this is the first, and possibly only, realistic depiction of ecstasy use that I've seen on television, and one without a needless negative element, just so the kids know that drugs aint cool, too. "

Dammit, there's no good reason why I should have screwed that up. Ah well. I still stand by my opinion, though — the revelation of who's responsible for John's crime (trying not to give away spoilers) works better (or at least it works better in movie form, I dunno if it would play the same on the page) if we learn it…

I'd agree regarding The Green Mile. (holy crap, I remember when that came out in serial form in bookstores, and I can't help but wonder if I still have my copies…)

I just still wonder why anybody cares that James Franco is doing a cameo. It's not like he's some hermit who ostensibly retired from Hollywood years ago, notoriously hoarding his face time as the myths and legends grow and has made his Second Coming to announce that you can all resume the ongoing blowjob parade that…

Inaccurate
This article is inaccurate. This is the first I've ever heard of this guy — he can't be that unavoidable.

You're supposed to be a writer, dude
Good review, overall, but this one needs another editing pass:

@Murray—Present

Scott Pilgrim was on the best movies of the year list because everything else last year just sucked that much.

While the Doctor tends to help folks who are sick with something unnatural plaguing them he usually leaves alone natural, planet-appropriate diseases that can't be cured with the technology of the era.

Well, first off, Oz didn't have enough control over his transformations to contribute before breaking up with Willow in Season 4 (and after that, he only showed up the once). Any time his wolf form did anything useful was if he accidentally got loose during the full moon.

Who?
No, really. Who?

Little known fact: It's a nickname
"Caligula" pretty much means "bootsie" (or "little boots," if you're picky).

My first Simpsons memory was seeing "Homer's Odyssey" with a bunch of family members. It was the first time we'd sat down to watch it together, and I was this overly-serious grew-up-too-fast 'I'm too old for cartoons' sort of jackass (I was 8 at the time).

I doubt we'll see the Penguin. Nolan's said that the way he'd handle the Penguin was already done in Batman Returns.

"I'm out?" Really?
He actually fucking said that? What an asshole.

Eh, you say "inspired"…
…but I say that opening musical/dance sequence is "exactly as long as it needs to be, and the movie didn't really need another one."
