"I'm sorry you were chased into a lake" cracked me up.

Yeah, I'll see this based on the strength of those movies. Strong and restrained and possibly two of my favorite movies from recent memory.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the hoopla surrounding BvS. In no way did I anticipate that the film would be good, but my god, I honestly didn't expect such a reaction. I thought it might be passable at best, but from the sound of it, it seems like Zack Snyder blew it. The vitriolic reviews, the Sad Affleck video, my

The show mostly goes through the motions now. There's usually one or two laugh-out-loud moments per episode, but I find I'm asking a lot if I tune in expecting to enjoy a full-fledged comedy. It's more that I watch each week coz I've become familiar and comfortable with the characters, and I'm as semi-interested in

Upvote for Julie Bowen love. Goddess.

Just started re-reading The Old Man and the Sea and it's been so long that it feels new to me. Reading Hemingway after not doing so for awhile always sends me through the same revelation of his writing style. So simple, so perfect.

I'd forgotten what it was like to laugh out loud at an episode of this show. It had some genuinely funny parts. C is too harsh — lighten up.

Signed in just to give some more love to this show. I didn't start watching until this season (looking forward to going back for s1), but I'm glad it became a part of my Wednesday night lineup.

Haven't listened to it in years, but Let Go is a solid album.

The DIIV album is rad. Almost a month later and I still haven't stopped playing it like crazy. 17 tracks seems like a lot, but every song is an absolute jam.

Down There doesn't get enough praise. Great album.

The more I listen to it, the more I love it.

Did anyone pick up the new DIIV album? I'm really enjoying it so far. I get the criticism that it might be too long, but the music is so immersive that it's easy to get lost in. Oshin was one of my favorite albums the year it came out, and Is the Is Are continues their goodwill with me.

I'm late to this one — a recurring trend for me — but my friend got me Fallout: New Vegas for Christmas, so I'm sitting down with that. I just decided to help Ringo and the town of Goodsprings against the Powder Gangers, so we'll see how that goes for me.

"Well I Wonder" — haven't seen anyone mention it and it's definitely my favorite song of theirs.

Don't forget the episode where Alex and Max try to break him of his addiction to v-necks. That shit was hilarious. The freeze-frame at the end always cracks me up.

Since the Oscars are coming up, I think we're owed a Jebidiah Atkinson appearance.

I finally started Purity as well. I'm about halfway through so far and enjoying it. I had someone ask me last week what it was that I liked about his work, and I had a hard time answering that question. Thoughts? The best I could do (and this is true, not just an answer) was that I like his exploration of a

I really like this movie, but the scene where he yells about the dress is ridiculous.

No, I'm with you. Reading the fairly high praise at the beginning of the review had me like, "Whuuuu?" This episode sucked and I counted maybe one laugh.
