I recently watched the episode that Dave Chappelle was in, and it occurred to me that although I remembered Tim as being incompetent, his show and the banter he has with Al are actually far more entertaining than any real woodworking show I've had the displeasure of watching.

Frasier invented a world that became a reality. For example, by the time the series ended, Seattle had the highest opera attendance per capita of any city in the US. Also, Dr. Phil became weirdly popular.

In middle school, my science teacher read us the perennially popular email in which a freshman uses infallible logic to disprove his professor's thesis that God does not exist because there is evil in the world, and that young man's name was… Albert Einstein!

McFarland is well known for his syllable counts. He grades every episode of American Dad based on whether each one-liner has a funny amount of syllables in it. It's caused some backlash in the comments section before.

He played Black and White World with the Roots on Fallon's show. I can't remember if it was part of the broadcast or just a web extra, though.

I've tried to convert a lot of people to my own obsession with Costello, and he seems to be a weirdly polarizing figure. Even people who, like you, would seem to be receptive to his style just aren't moved by his music. When I listen to his early masterpieces I'm baffled that he never became a real superstar, but I…

Well, I feared as much when I heard that first song they released from this album and it was only OK. As much as I like to defend Costello's choices, I think Momofuku was the most satisfying of his last few albums, and it was the most traditional rock record. I enjoyed his country foray, but sometimes it feels like…

It's interesting hearing Bob say that he does get annoyed by the lack of attention Mr. Show still gets, even in "look backs" at the world of comedy. It is kind of shocking that something with a rabid cult following like that isn't even at least famous for it's cult following, in the way that other movies/shows have…

"I want you to take all this and put it in your piano!!!"

I like the idea of a blog devoted to how Mr. Show predicted the future, but we should also recognize that Mr. Show uncovered our nation's past before the rest of us knew the truth:

I was a big fan of this movie when I was a kid, and watched all the documentary "making of" special features. Then once when my family took a vacation to NY, they wanted to eat at Patsy's (for lunch, of course - they weren't about to pay dinner prices for me and my cousin). Randy Johnson (who was still pitching for…

I think Bale is easily the best of the live action Batmen, even though he loses points for the silly voice. Kevin Conroy is still my number one pick overall, though.

I like Moore, just not as much as Dalton.

@avclub-e129a878f7b0e5aa9ac09e0282f64ea6:disqus Yeah, but it's ultimately his fault for listening to his agent's stupid advice. And if you listen to interviews from the time period, Lazenby is very boisterous about how he will be leaving the insignificant Bond franchise to make "relevant" films. In one soundbite they…

No problem, Yourmomsucksdikachu.

Moore is too good natured for me to hate, and the same goes for the enjoyable stupid Bond movies he was in.

I would have seen "Devil's Advocate" and predicted that his southern accent in The Gift would sound kind of weird, and I would have been right.

Lazenby wasn't bad, but he was unremarkable. I think the problem is that he played the role like Connery did, just not as memorably. Moore is not my favorite, but at least he found his own take on the character. Lazenby might have done that too if he stuck around I guess, but it's hard to feel bad for a guy who walked…

I think she was pretty awful, but if you think Pacino was good in that movie, we probably have irreconcilable opinions about that film.
