I could have sworn there's a Powerpuff Girls episode that does this idea of crime being legal (and probably does it a lot better than this film).

It's just you.

'You'll never make more than nineteen thousand dollars a year! Hahahahaha!'

This Twitter comment did make me laugh:

The London episode(s) were the turning point really, the show was very good up to then and then during/after that it was funny in patches, but nothing like as good as it had been (and the bad episodes were really bad indeed).

It's really strange looking back on early episodes of Friends and seeing Joey know things like The Unbearable Lightness of Being in a game of Pictionary, considering how dumb they made him in subsequent seasons.

Could this pilot BE any worse?

Well, if we're talking Woody Allen's films in the 70s and 80s, the difference is Allen's films in that period were great.

I think some of the bad reception Lady in the Water got was over Shyamalan's seeming arrogance in casting himself as a would-be writer who would change the world and having a mean film critic character in a none-too-subtle 'take that!' to people who slated his previous two films.

The Last Airbender was atrocious and still made over $300 million worldwide and was one of the top twenty films of the year at the US box office. Even The Happening made $163 million off a $50 million budget. That's probably why. Lady in the Water might be his only outright bomb, so maybe the studios still see him as

You mean Sam Worthington right?

After two films now of 'director for hire' M. Night Shyamalan, I almost kind of miss 'car-crash viewing with a side order of hubris director' M. Night Shyamalan. At least Lady in the Water and The Happening had some hilarity in how stupid they were.

So what you're saying is, you don't like him?

I think the four main actors in The Sixth Sense are all brilliant in it.

I would say despite all the very justified criticisms of the show I do like a lot of the Doctor-centric episodes - Someone To Watch Over Me (though that's more Doctor and Seven) and Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy especially.

My guess is that people like her because they like her music.

Early listens sound promising, it's crazy how she's already on her fourth album.

Men In Black 2 is crap is so many ways, but maybe the worst thing was ditching Linda Fiorentino as a new partner for J just so they could bring back Tommy Lee Jones with this de-neuralyser crap.

I thought everyone had already agreed on that.

Erin Brockovich does have some negative points (Roberts' character can get irritatingly self-righteous at times, and there's a simplistic 'blue collar good, white collar bad' theme running throughout) but I still think it's very enjoyable, swerves any dry and/or showboating courtroom stuff, and Finney is brilliant in
