There was a lot wrong with this episode, and for some reason, that was the part that set me off. I'm a Midwesterner and there are NO SCHOOLS IN THE MIDWEST with outdoor courtyards. This is an outrage!

Seriously. That's like everything I love coming together in one place.

My Hairiest Adventure involved a group of kids, who were also dogs, who turned into dogs while playing The Beatles' "I Want To Hold Your Hand" in front of the student body of their junior high.

Favorites: Bad Hare Day (both cover and story), My Hairiest Adventure, Phantom of the Auditorium, and Piano Lessons Can Be Murder.

Yup, Schrader was arts & entertainment editor and then managing editor of the student newspaper, second in command to his now ex-wife Jeanine Oppewall. For more Calvin newspaper-related history … yup, no one cares.

Barenaked Ladies played at Calvin in the 90s. I'm shaking my head right now.

OK, fine, here it comes from a Calvin grad.
I graduated from Calvin in 2009 and was part of the group that determined how successful a concert from any particular artist would be. During my four years at Calvin, far more controversial acts than the (completely inoffensive) New Pornographers played shows at Calvin…

No, guys, watch the teaser trailer. It made me think that it would be the single greatest movie to be released in mid-September 2010.

Rutting, I think that at least partially depends on what part of Crichton's work we're commenting on. Though his quality of writing certainly dropped off in the 2000s, I think it can be said that some of his earlier series and one-offs are thoroughly entertaining, if not perfect by the rules of academia or critique.…

Three things:

Yay! I feel like I'm safe here all of a sudden. I'm headed back next fall and was last there in 2008. And I'll also never switch over to Hollywood Studios.

Also, in re-reading what I've just written, I'm reminded of the fact that I'm probably the only Disney World snob who is also an AV Club commenter.

I go to Disney World fairly often, and Star Tours looks and feels worse with every visit. I still love the Pee Wee-Bot, but it's a jerky, uncomfortable ride with visuals that pale in comparison to literally any other Disney World attraction. They either needed to scrap it or rework it.

John Krasinski
Was he joking when he messed up and asked for a line, or was that genuine? Either way, that may have been even less comfortable than watching Matthew Perry refuse a beer.

Peach's mother hen reaction to that made it even better.

LC, good call on the Waiting for Guffman similarities there. I knew I'd started to love something about Casanova and that has to be it.

Swatch was there once or twice last season. He's a very expressive, cleverly named pup.

But he's the very best Culkin!

I'd go to the second night. I've seen Weezer twice, once after Green and the second time after Make Believe. Both times, they did the bulk of Blue but only one song from Pinkerton. I hold the completely non-controversial opinion that Pinkerton is their strongest album, and I'd love to hear more live than just "Tired…

The implication here, at least as I read it, is this is the most disturbing pop culture-related news we've seen in a while.
