Are you a farmer?  If not, will the wedding go after 6?  Then tuxedo.

I really think there is a difference between looking "in the eye" and looking at someone (vs. averting gaze, as in indicating subservience.)  Looking 'in the eye" is an incredibly direct form of communication.  Depending on the context, it can be aggressive — like sizing someone up; asserting dominance — or interest —

You just made me realize that if Destruction turns his back on his duties, he really won't be able to create, either.  All acts creation requiring/beginning with destruction, so to speak.  It makes his failures even funnier/more poignant.  
But I do love this volume, so take that as you will.  Not necessarily as a

I don't know — I'm with the OP.  I love Andy Dwyer so much that even in the promos for Zero Dark 30, I'm almost cracking him up at just hearing him speak.  
So unless Chris Pratt is the most amazing actor, I'm pretty sure he runs the risk of being comic relief (for me) every time he's on the screen.
And maybe with this

Damn, that's a tough category for drama.  
But comedy: Go, Leap Day! 
I loved "The Debate" — the only other episode listed that I've seen — but it was nowhere near as creative as "Leap Day".  I hope Leap Day makes it out into the real world — in fact, I'm sure it has started to already, even if ironically at first —

I just scanned through it via Netflix, and got the 77 minutes thing, too.  But when I skipped about the 54 minute mark, I found another cartoon: Rip Van Winkle (also starring Mr. Magoo.)
Work hasn't banned Netflix for me just yet, thankfully.

Joseph, Who Understood — The New Pornographers.  Someone round here recommended it, and it's great, uplifting, with good harmonies.
Sister Winter — Sufjan Stevens.  Just gorgeous.
Christmas Card From A Hooker In New Orleans — Tom Waits, or Neko Case cover.  The antidote to nauseatingly sweet holiday letters.

I'm glad you mentioned that — I mistakenly read the track listing, and just downloaded the ones that weren't McCartney or Wonderful Christmas time, incorrectly assuming that it was him doing the song.  Thanks for the correction/tip — I'll go back and get the Shins version.

Lots of great tunes and bands on there — and the performances are good, too.
However, to those who are interested — don't buy the whole thing: it also has Macca's horrid holiday hit on there, too.  Buyer beware.

So it's not a full-length version of Charlie, King of the Rats?  Damn.  He needs to be in more movies.

OK, die-hards, now it's time to put our (highly questionable) powers of influence to work on what those last two unfilmed episodes should be:
The highly discussed, often dismissed, reunion between Jeff and his dad.  Now they can finally get Bill Murray!  Even if they have to alter existing episodes that have been
