Personal issues, dude.

Race is such a curiously complex issue to address in a sitcom, and some shows like 30 Rock and Happy Endings succeeded by taking broad, simple swipes, avoiding the more delicate, sensitive aspects of the issue. Scrubs had many great lines and moments but it was just as often cavalier and smug with its approach. As a…

Just another Asian bad guy?! That works at a Chinese restaurant? What, is that, some sort of old time gangster movie trope I'm not aware of? "Lefty, I want ya to head over to Hop Foo's and tell that filthy rat bastard, Chow Li (?!), he better lay off shakin' down his neighbors for protection money. And tell 'im to lay…

I can't imagine any other actress pulling off that scene so damn well. Emma Sands or Anna Faris might have gotten away with it, but Zooey has a natural quality which is very hard to name. I dunno, how 'bout adorkable?

There is a very definite conceited, smug vibe to Damon Jr's persona, but that's a valuable asset around which the writers may construct some more great moments of hubris and humiliation, who, by the way, are my exwife's divorce attorneys - Hubris & Humiliation, LLC. Swell people.

In this review I particularly enjoyed* reading how inessential it was for the show to portray the discussion between Jess and the Chinese Restaurant owner when she obtains the delivery van. Mr. Eric Adams made it a point to explicitly dissect that subtle, elegant detail and render it a flayed, lifeless specimen upon…

Sorry, I just assumed Lucas would CGI a better comment for me.

Well, if you fail to deconstruct his films into their coherent, linear story arcs they will appear to be devoid of plot/writing. It's a mistake made by many viewers of Lynch's films. His later films, and especially INLAND EMPIRE, are constructed as puzzles, whose disrupted, reordered timelines must be mentally…

Hans Solo shot first!

I hope it was just snipped and not decapitated.

Private dick is so very hard to conceal.

As a rule I only attend films which feature an unfair amount of penetration, but I'll make an exception this one time if there's also an indecent amount of angst.

Disqus!!! I was editing my pithy statement when you posted. In fact, I hadn't yet posted my comment when you had begun responding. How is this possible? I will now read a book.

So, you don't want anyone to Popcorn block you.

The film will be much shorter, less filled with penises, much like a lesbian dwarf's vagina.*

I read your kind comment as you would like to buy my AV Club Cynical Comment Touchstone, which, as it so happens, I'm selling for a very reasonable $19.99 apiece. My painstakingly hand crafted Cynical Touchstones are among the industry's most highly regarded, most sought after Talismans enabling the fortunate,…

A tenuous grasp of reality.

"awful new show on Bravo" - def. Redundant.

Well, she certainly is nutty.

Oh, you think you have a gluten allergy? It's prolly just a yeast infection.
