The one where Artie fights the bowling ball. That was my first exposure to pure absurdity as a child.

With all the comments in this thread lamenting the loss of not just Terriers, but other one-season wonders like Rubicon, Freaks and Geeks, Firefly, etc., I'm thinking there is substantial overlap in all of these shows fanbases. Maybe some enterprising TV executive will do the demographic research and find a way to…
I gave up on Rubicon about midway through, partly because of its glacial pacing, but mostly because I just knew it wasn't going to get picked up for a second season. I figured I would cut my losses and not get involved in a sprawling conspiracy arc that would most likely have no resolution due to cancellation.
My distaste for my limited vocabulary is… something big in its scope.
No mention of Return of the Joker?
The flashback to Batman and the Joker's final confrontation was probably the darkest thing the DCAU ever did.
Leno's culpability for the entire fracas is debatable, but his inherent shittiness is beyond dispute. NBC picked the wrong guy, period.
He was incredible in The Jeff GoldBluMan Group. A genuine sizzler.
Yeah, that was a good casting choice. It was nice to see someone push back on Michael and Fiona's con for a change. Sometimes they take the ease with which Michael and Co. deceive people to ridiculous (but also fun) heights. It upped the stakes a bit.
How much are you worth Mr. Cameron?
Why are you doing it? How much better can you eat? What could you buy that you can't already afford?

What's up with that picture? Is Robert Smigel a Craig's list hooker?
I sense a new feature…
Movies that were never made. Call up Patton Oswalt.
My Fun Flaming Lips Concert Experiences
-A crowd of over 500 singing along at the top of their voices to the Lips cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody."
"John, we're not really here for a cocaine party. We're here for an intervention."
I was in early middle-school when this movie came out and saw it with some friends. Being teenage boys we thought that Verhoeven's ultra-violence was "sweet dude," but we also all caught on pretty quick that it was a goof on fascists. The news segments and Neil Patrick Harris' uniform at the end tipped us off with all…
I'm not a Dawn-hater, but I felt at the time that throwing a stereotypical "teen" into the mix on a show that had in previous seasons portrayed teenagers in a more nuanced manner was a little weird. Her extreme teen petulance stood in pretty stark contrast to the season 1 & 2 era scoobies.
Evil Dead 2 is definitely my favorite of the series, for all of the reason stated. I disagree though that the Director's cut ending for Army was better than the theatrical cut's. The S-Mart showdown is a essential part of the movie for me. The reasons:
Factionalism is the original sin of geekdom. Babylon Fivers, Farscapers, Browncoats, Trekkers, can't we at least all agree on basic first principles, like that Han stepping on Jabba's tale was fucking bullshit? Every day we stay divided, bickering with one another, NFL fans gain in power.
I just went to high school with a second-rate porno star and some dude who co-starred in a middling teen drama on the WB. I knew neither of them. So this round goes to you, Tristiac.
I enjoyed it. I think the whole "partners thrown together who hate each other and then build a bond with one another" thing has been played to the hilt. It was a nice change of pace to have the two partners already have a level of respect for one another. It was a break from the cliche and it showed they had a history…
