The great thing about the Mr. Bean turkey incident was its set up.

Porky's

Late to party as I just watched this last night. I still cannot get past the main leap of this season, that Iran perpetrated the bombing with a connection to Al Qaeda/Abu Nazir, and Fara's father illustrated it perfectly. He asked if they'd be on the street like "dirty Arabs." He said it because he's not an Arab. He…

Only reason why she wouldn't like him is that Gretzky played for the Oilers and she's a Canucks fan.

What ended up being hilarious was that when the plot came to the scene in the Chinese restaurant, our TA deliberately began to fast forward through it. He said it was to mature. He decided to do a stop and fast forward rather than a scan on the VHS. That choice assured us that he would restart playing before the scene…

We had a history teacher who showed us the Producers, Bananas, and Waiting for Guffman for no apparent reason.

Sterling Mallory Archer?

The real, no BS truth behind why Ted held back and Barney did not is that Ted knows he and Robin don't work on anything more than a superficial level. Its a harsh truth and one that has been painfully difficult for him but the truth nonetheless. Its like in season one where Ted did not add a plus one. If he and Robin…

A stare down would be nice. Just a brief pause.

To be fair (or at least as far as it is possible to be fair to producers looking for yet another cash-grabbing reboot):

Where's "Gimme Shelter?"

Agree with that. He just points and goes, "I'm right there."

Had me worried too. "Wait a minute I've seen this kind of sweet set up before."

"So do you want fries or baked potato with that half rack of ribs?"

Return to Miller's Crossing?

Winner. Such a fun universe to poke around in. Del Toro's style of using real puppets and sets lavished with detail just begs for more investigation.

I loved the Two-Face sequence with Wirtz in the bar. Mostly because I've been to that place (Twin Anchors on Sedgewick) many times and adore its ribs.

When I first saw the end scene I almost started weeping. I am Italian with two brothers so the whole thing hit home pretty hard. One thing that the last scene conveys is that food is a means by which we convey our love for each other. By engaging in the act of cooking, especially when we are tired or upset, even when…

Maybe. In that case the whole picture should be reversed. The words have to be changing with respect to the inverse-square law.

I actually liked this one the best, even though it isn't up there: http://cdn.shortlist.com/re…
