I think it's interesting that you bring up documentaries as a strong point for movies over TV, because I'd actually argue I was more intrigued by the documentaries produced for TV lately than that show up at the box office. From ESPN's 30 for 30 series to the welath of documentaries produced and aired by HBO I am…

@ much more: There is this thing called "context" that outlines the parameters of a conversation. So in a discussion on an article whose headline is "Movies vs. Television" you can compare and contrast the two without muddying the conversation by discussing the merits of all forms of media. Congratulations on coming…

Damn you, Starvtwalker, for taking what I was trying to say and saying it way better. I think when you bring up how TV can make you feel like you're experiencing something "real" is exactly what makes TV better for me. Even though obviously plenty of what I see on TV makes me call bullshit, I still feel like it's…

I appreciate that Dustin at least offered there's nothing wrong with appreciating character development, but I do think that is the issue with Wolfman's argument. Not that I'm saying you're wrong, just that it's a matter of perspective to say that it's movies that have the ability to be unique and new in a way TV…

Well she's naked on the regular in Carnivale as one of a family of strippers who "dance the cooch."

Perhaps I made it seem like I'm an idiot when I pointed out the reference but I am not and I am aware of the phrase. The point was this isn't a documentary so nothing forced them to have Heather break up with her boyfriend in that way in the first place. Granted I know nothing of Utah culture beyond this show so…

Dear John
Anyone else notice the somewhat blatant stab at amanda Seyfried the writers took in this episode when Heather mentions that she "Dear Johned" her missionary boyfriend? I'm just curious if it was meant as an insult or a shout out.

I half agree about the crime of the week stories being stronger than season one. I'd say the one-off stories at this point in the season are stronger than at this point in the season last year, but by the fourth episode (I think) last year you had Cameron as the dentist, which was great, and a little later on the…

I will also voice my agreement with what everyone is saying above. And I'm with Willmmmm in being bugged a bit by Raylan's insistance on Boyd being no good. By the end of last season he certainly proved himself to have more depth than Raylan gives him credit for, and it's suspect where Raylan gets his impression of…

***POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT****

Bring Da Wu
What? No love for Eric screaming to "Bring da ruckus" as he chases Steven? That's easily my favorite part of this whole series.

THANK YOU. Whenever someone suggests they're even approaching funny I have to question which one of us learned an incorrect definition of the word "funny." Though I will say Check it Out has its moments but that's entirely John C. Reilly.

Anyone else notice the url linked by Dark Passengerside Airbag refers to him as "Rock Star back from the dead?" Think the guy in charge of creating the url read it really fast and just assumed it was Edgar Winters?

Around here Dean Winters is definitely known exclusively as Ryan O'Reilly. He was Ryan O'Reilly when he was on 30 Rock and he's O'Reilly in those commercials. He's mythical for being responsible for possibly more deaths than anyone else on Oz while still managing to make it through the entire run of the series (save…

I wonder what the grave consequence was for God taking Prince's only son.

I think what's most amazing about that is Cribs hasn't even existed in years (I assume) and certainly no one has given a fuck about MTV in god knows how long and yet STILL everyone remembers Redman on Cribs because it was legendary.

Am I going crazy or did the solar eclipse somehow occur at night?

The first thing I ever saw Carla Gallo in was Carnivale. Needless to say it was very strange going from that to Undeclared. It's like going from watching Michael C(ancer) Hall in Six Feet Under and then seeing him as Dexter.

I'd just like to point out that "You speak the truth, porkchop sandwich." has got to be the funniest sentence taken out of context I've seen in quite some time.
