she's a crazily important asset, and strategically, littlefinger is playing a genius game (albeit one that risks her safety).

yeah that slayed me. the not actually showing abed heckling is what made it.

saying "read the comments" in the comments may not be as effective as you think.

when you have a voice that rich, becoming a comedy actor is just cheating.

i like harmontown a lot, and i even like harmon's weird, scatterbrained stutter. but when hurwitz is on the show, he makes dan and guests look like fucking amateurs. hurwitz is on another level from every tv comedy writer i can think of.

oh, very worth it. edit: especially when you follow that to the conclusion that we probably wouldn't have a russos' cap 3 or infinity war.

bob (/brad bird) objects to celebrating mediocrity, not because "special people" are more deserving of celebration, but because rewarding mediocrity just makes people more mediocre. if bob ranted about celebrating mediocre PEOPLE, it would be a very different, much more randian movie.

that whack sound made me squawk out a sitcommy "HAH" at work.

the "bud and coyote as annoying semi-siblings" story was juuust creeping over into obnoxious territory, UNTIL brianna yanked her shoes off and went after them. sublime.

your "if sol is jewish" question is odd. i'm jewish, but i have no interest in marrying a religious jewish woman. i don't care in the SLIGHTEST if my partners are jewish; only one out of my three significant girlfriends was, and it was the least happy, mature relationship out of the bunch.

this is where demanding classification gets us. if it's a good show, it's a good show. it's not a straightforward comedy, it's just a funny drama. or somewhere in between.

i've never found that about THE INCREDIBLES. when it came out and i saw it, i was 16, and very obnoxiously elitist. THE INCREDIBLES made me feel like bob's early elitism with buddy was the real crime, and caused buddy's brilliance and abilities to twist into resentment and villainy. sure, bob's saying "my son is…

i hope the MCU/netflix shows vary in tone. i loved daredevil, but i want them to be smarter than "every property should look the same" DC/WB and give us a bunch of different things to love.

"best single scene" is a bridge i'm not willing to cross (how much deeper can we go? best single line? best single moment?) it was superb, for sure. but lots of superhero movies have had at least one absolutely killer scene in the last decade. some of them very quiet and low-keyed, of course.

though they'd be much MORE fun if the role of blade was filled by 30 rock's "wesley snipes".

granted, i haven't seen them in a long time, but i remember one or two of them being at least a little fun.

blade was gritty, but it wasn't grim. any one blade movie has more fun than all three nolan batmans.

gotta represent the original singer x-men, because i know nobody else does. it gets overshadowed by x2's spectacle, but i think it's a much better movie (and x-men movie).

yeah, me too :( desperately needed on the screen, though. we have mega-individualistic libertarian (stark), idealistic but patriotic (steve), grimdark objectivist (dark knight sorta? and maybe BvS) and political sitter-outer or cynic (widow, hulk, flash, pretty much all the rest).

i thought i'd hate AOU's quicksilver effects after seeing the trailer, but i loved it! i loved how he got puffed out, had a realistic (heh) maximum speed, and would kind of skid a bit into place a bit like barry.
