Agree thoroughly with Recurring Theme and The Shredder on the efficiency of that scene. The best thing about it is that it could have made her look like some two-dimensional heartbreaker, but it gets across that Max had constructed this fantasy world, and she was doing him a favour by giving him a dose of cold harsh…

Watch Eastbound & Down, Zilch. That series'll fuck you up with some truth.

For what it's worth, the Joel Schumacher commentary track on The Number 23 is my favourite CToTD. It's hilariously awful.

He and Paul Giamatti are hilarious on the Sideways commentary track.

For what it's worth, I get where you're coming from. It takes a lot of ambition to make it as an actor, but also a fair amount of luck, and the way Williams tells it she seems to recognise that.

Rayanair is loathsome. I will never use it as long there's another airline flying to the same place. (Truth be hold, other airlines will probably get you to your actual destination, rather than land you in a disused field 20 miles away as Ryanair does.)

Self-deprecation is about the only way actreses can stay ahewad of the stunningly misogynist British press. Male celebs can big themselves up all the time and won't called "bitchy" or "full of themselves". It's a defense mechanism.

That's a fucking awesome lineup right there.

I'm fucking mystified by this love for the Spice Girls. They're just as terrible as the stuff that Rabin trashes, if not more so. In fact, FAR more so. Now Girls Aloud, on the other hand…

I stand by it. For the record, the actual worst AVQ&As are Guilty Displeasures and Lifetime Grudges.

Also, Tooms.

As a whole, the cast list is one of the weirdest I've ever seen. Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Uma Thurman, Steve Coogan and Rosario Dawson … all playing Greek gods, goddesses and assorted mythical figures? Granted, I can see Thurman playing someone from Norse mythology, but still…

The New Cult Cannon: a chilling tale of religious fanticism and heavy weaponry.

You know that if figures from Greek mythology existed today, they'd be down for some product placement. Gotta get that paper, son…

Yeah, that made me chuckle, too.

"People think I take this a lot more seriously than I actually do."

Yeah, this is one of the worst AVQ&As ever. Almost all the answers (article and comments) reek of poseur-ish terror that someone will call them out for having liked art that isn't approved by the current consensus. Tastes change. I probably wouldn't care to go back to a lot of the stuff I liked as a kid, but that…

From the review, this sounds kinda like Neal Stephenson
Interesting concepts, obvious enthusiasm for the technology and ideas he's writing about, which can turn into page upon page of characters spouting exposition at each other, but with wicked-cool action sequences to keep you turning the pages. I thought Snow Crash…

"season's most unnecessarily limiting premise"
This sounds like it's only a step above Knight Boat, the crime-fighting boat:

The reason Michael Bay gets to keep making films
