One roll cut in half is most sandwiches. You're probably just hung up on the size of the roll.

Points off for calling two related points "contrasting," of course. That part was, if anything, too pat, so I'm not sure how anyone could fail to get it. But hey, here we are.

I've seen dumpsters "put together as flawlessly" as season 1.

I think you're reading a lack of intention into that.

2 is definitely the case. Can't speak to 1, because I thought the first season was a mess. But speaking as someone who watched the whole thing this weekend, I'm not sure how this season would've played out if I had tried to stagger it across 8 weeks. It definitely wasn't packed with incident in that way, though… the

Alive, naked and broke… which essentially means dead given the rest of his circumstances. The diamonds were in the suit pocket.

Me, definitely. It seemed like both seasons had 8 hours to fill around 4 hours' worth of plot… but the first one had the beginning of the story, got ludicrously overheated midway through, then trailed off into irrelevance midway through episode 5. It was like someone had an idea for a mood and a location, but no

S2E2 kind of solved every problem I had with the show, by the way. That, and realizing I'd misinterpreted the scene where Rick re-shrinks Annie in S1E3. It's still heartless but not AS heartless as I'd read it?

Good word of mouth didn't seem to be necessary for Jurassic World, and I find it hard to believe people are inherently more interested in Jurassic Park than Star Wars.

By that standard, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is noir.

Modern sprezzatura involves knowing the right Simpsons quote for any occasion.

It's a lot easier to hire people to do voice work, because it's so much faster to do.

Yeah, I feel like even to the extent it's reliant on parody, it's of all kinds of stuff. Not specifically camp stuff.

If by "worked" you mean "people enjoyed when the older women were attacked by the mountain lions," that's because people are terrible.

Yeah, I watched it this weekend. It does get better.

That's kind of the other side of the coin… I have no way of knowing how much a Community movie would cost, but I just can't see it being that much. The sets are already built, you'd probably want more effects/crowd scenes than an episode but not THAT many more, and while a lot of the cast's careers are going well,

Wow, really? Huh. British people.

Perhaps, but again, we're dealing with different magnitudes of viewership. And TYPES of viewership… you can't convince me that there was a critical mass of rabid Entourage fans. There were people who watched Entourage… around 2 to 2.5 million/episode by the end. Not far off Community, but my strong suspicion is that

I don't. Even when the show was on the air, they usually told me only a week or two in advance that I was in the episode. (And then sometimes they wrote me out.)

This is pretty much exactly what I'd say. (I could be persuaded to put 5 over 1. 6 over 2 would be a wholly selfish perspective.)
