College towns kind of facilitate an enclosed, party atmosphere. But I don't understand the notion that "there's nothing to do" in college towns, like 19 year olds in big cities are living some kind of sophisticated urban life?

Agreed. I also think it's kind of a joke on a foreigner coming in and trying to adopt American culture and failing miserably. It would be like a foreigner coming to Los Angeles in 1987 and hanging up a Clippers banner.

Neither writer seemed to recognize the Mets as an underdog story and that pinning a Mets banner in your office is emblematic of rooting for the underdog (particularly in a Yankees town.)

Ohio is practically the East Coast? Right, and I have some beautiful waterfront property in Utah to sell you

"Even with parents selling you into slavery for their own financial gain and narcissism"

6 minutes in between preparing for a hearing tomorrow - well worth the effort to entertain you.

It's like daddy said /
Why Murtaugh in the shadow of Riggs? /
Eddie got his own cop movie /
And I'm stuck playin' second n*g.

In California - if you created something at work, it is one of many factors a court would consider if what you created was a "work for hire." If the court found it was, the company would have copyright of what was created. However, as others here have said, it would have to be created while you were physically at work…

I don't know much about the tech industry or Silicon Valley, but are there agents for programmers and start-ups. If not, seems like a missed opportunity for leeches to grab 10%. Athletes have agents, musicians have agents, writers/directors/actors have agents - you'd think start-ups/programmers would want…

My parents let me have my birthday party, in 6th grade, in their backyard. We got a DJ. Ate pizza. Did some hardcore mosh-pitting to Rage Against the Machine. Slow-danced with chicks a half-foot taller to All-4-One. Even had a huge game of spin the bottle, but my parents said cheek only. Haterzzzz.

Frank needs to die. Ian's never really had a personality other than pining for some dude and now being bi-polar. Not very interesting. Debbie's storyline is stupid and uninteresting. I like the character, but 13 year old girls aren't very interesting unless they are very bad 13 year old girls, but the show really…

An MFA should be like an MBA. You shouldn't go right out of college. For an MBA - getting business experience is essential to maximize what they teach in business school. For an MFA - you should have life experiences before you take a writer's workshop. All writers suck at 22. Even great ones. You have nothing to…

I grew up in the L.A. burbs and had two lawyer parents who stared at their plates at dinner longingly, as if where the fuck did we go wrong with our lives? They divorced when I was 11. The artist thing sounds more fun.

What planet are you on that Hannah wouldn't ever mention applying to Iowa? All the character does is talk about herself, her life, and her pursuits. Completely out of character. That being said, I like that direction. 3 seasons in and the show is feeling very stale and I think the MFA world of writer's workshops in a…

Actually, my first thought was that she was a U.S. spy and that someone from U.S. intelligence was onto them and using their daughter for information.

"But the show so skillfully places us in Paige’s mindset that I figured the photo of Elizabeth was there because it had been planted in the home of an old woman with dementia, not that this old woman was part of some long-range network of Soviet spies."

Happens particularly in Sitcoms. When one character is talking about something, but the other character thinks he is talking about something else, but the first character thinks the second character knows what he is talking about and they continue on…Just the worst hacky writing (Hi Modern Family!) Example: Jeff and…

My rating of films I saw in the days after I had my wisdom teeth taken out and took way too many pain-killers (I was 21) is improperly inflated. I saw 'Lucky Number Slevin' and thought it was basically 'Chinatown'

I really liked the first 2/3 of the movie. It really went off the rails when they went up to Marin. But I guess I can say that I really like the first 2/3 of every Apatow movie.

That was actually my favorite Apatow movie (if Superbad doesn't count.) Although, he should really find an ending other than guy gets hit by a car while riding a bike, which resolves everything.
