Thanks for being the one to say it, Mackie. I think Tik Tok's a pretty great song, and I kinda hunch over and hope no one notices me whenever Kesha comes up, so I don't have to admit it.

Thin Red Line
I hated the crap out of that smug, self-important crapfest of a movie, and I wanted to repeatedly punch the director in the face. Especially that psuedo-philosophical voiceover, that thought it was so deep but sounded like it came from a freshman dorm late night conversation. I really think I remember…
Yes, I'm watching too, and it's bizarre. Todd describes it perfectly. There's this soft, gentle script, but everything is said so loudly, with a pause for the audience laugh, and then this loud blaring laugh track, to even the smallest, not-even-meant-to-be-funny-more-just-a-little-cute jokes. I don't think I've…
Um, I've seen Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland is hilarious. If you didn't laugh when Bill Murray showed up, I weep for you.
Oh, sorry, to clarify, I'm snarking on the quality of the movie itself. Don't care about the canon of the books at all. I was just so bitter about such a great franchise ending in such a terrible, terrible way, that I had no emotional investment in the movie at all by the time he died.
I never got to see most of the deaths you guys are talking about, because the death of Fabian Petrullio (from the College episode) got to me so completely. Up until then, I knew Tony was a bad man, but what with the visiting the psychologist, I thought he might turn around.
That movie, despite its title, was not actually a third installment of the Godfather. None of the characters in that movie had any real relation to the ones in the first two. So no, his death carried no emotional weight, because he was some sad sack random dude, not the Godfather.
Cheap Hap, Yeah Avatar, you guys are absurd. I have plenty more than 10 dvds, and no credit card debt, and even though I only watch them once, I still don't think it's a waste of money. Why? Because I buy them for $4 each, and that's less than half what I'd spend on a movie ticket anyway. Netflix doesn't work for…
Hmm. Its funny Elitist, I would agree with you for many of the other recent entries, but not this one. My favorite entry will always be the first one, which considered a pivotal scene in a great recent movie. In many others, Mike has picked a random scene from a movie he liked, just to post about that movie. Those…
@Hmm.
You know, I don't understand the Terrence Howard hate. He seemed pretty good in this, I thought. Don Cheadle is always Don Cheadle to me. He never seems to enter a role so deeply that I forget he's a movie star. So seeing him in the movie just reminds me that it's, you know, a movie.
Sounds like TRL is a clear example of the "Napoleon Dynamite effect", where people have strong reactions on one side or the other. I found the voice-over insufferably smug, and I wanted to punch that guy in the face. It's the only movie I can remember walking out of in the theater, and I still get mad at it looking…
The judges on Chopped are melodramatic douchebags that I want to repeatedly punch in the face.
I'm not a douche that loves correcting people, I swear. I just want to help you out. It's not "tight-nip," its "tight-knit". See, they're knitted together into a single piece of cloth. Tight nip is pretty awesome in its own ways, though.
To continue my rant. What, your plan centers on finding DB Cooper and getting him to join you? Oh, and you know you'll be able to buddy up with the warden by building him a toothpick palace so you can do stuff from his office? Oh, and we'll get a projector to set up so we know exactly where to drill in this random…
Eh. I made it halfway through the first season, hoping it would get better. It was never good in the first place. The entire allure of the show is, "let's see some vaguely believable plans for how to break out of a maximum security prison." But that's the part that falls the flattest, with the most ridiculous,…
Wait, what? The introduction of Six was when Married with Children unequivocally jumped the shark. I didn't know they fired him (because I stopped watching), but if they did, it was because he was the most terrible, horrible, no-good thing to ever happen to that show. So so awful. I want to vomit on him, he's so…
Agreed napstimpy. jdtn, you're just wrong. At the end of the first movie, I had all the tools to build the rest of the series in my head. The world had been built, Neo's powers established, as had the enemy. The only question was, how would Neo take them down. My problem is, the answer really really sucked. (My…
How did no one mention The Matrix?
One of my favorite movies of all time, and each sequel punished me for it, trying to make me think the first sucked as bad as they did.
I live right by the Pot KFC!
The concept for the show is based on a real KFC that closed down and reopened as a pot shop. It's right down the block from me.
