WHAT? Fuck it, I don't need to make rent this month.

"Baby Missiles" is the one that did it for me.

"If at first you don't ska-ceed, ska, ska again" could only be the motto of a group of people confident that no one in the immediate vicinity has the guts to punch them in the face.

What would happen is, Ra Ra Riot would play, they would introduce the Tokyo Police Club, and then a bunch of Japanese police officers would run out from backstage and start beating the shit out of the crowd.

Holy shit, The War on Drugs, The Hold Steady, and Tokyo Police Club all put out new albums within a week of each other? This is awesome. I remember listening to Boys and Girls in America and Heaven is Whenever over and over while driving across middle America for a week, which is definitely one of the best ways to…

Only one story from St. Lucy's Home For Girls Raised By Wolves? Seriously? That's disappointing. Then again, I guess if the twist is "they don't know what works we're going to ask them about" and the author has written 3 carefully curated books, you can't just ask about all 3 of them. Did she not have any op-ed pieces…

Saw it in syndication a few times, enjoyed it, caught up on Netflix and started watching in the middle of Season 7 when I ran out of episodes- I think "The Burning Beekeeper" was the first one I watched live.

Maybe you didn't hear me- I said,

He's probably just stressed vowt.

Yes, though Kelsey Grammer had better show up as Future Beast really soon or I'm going to pitch a fit.

How come people don't automatically assume I can play basketball?

This brings up something I've been noticing more and more in modern movies: there is a small but significant subset of modern audiences that hates tension. They complained about the last 20 minutes of Argo, they found Gravity almost viscerally unpleasant for non-3D-related reasons, and you can bet your ass they hated D…

I thought he was effectively frightening in Silence, not because of the crazy lengths he goes to escape prison so much as how matter-of— fact he is about it. When he's hitting the cop with the billy club, he looks like he's beating a rug or chopping wood.

"I spray all over them!"

No, Gary was always his name and he was too polite to correct everyone who called him Jerry. Then Leslie misprinted his name and everyone started calling him that instead.

"Shauna, I'm going to recommend that you start seeing Chris Traeger's excellent therapist, Dr. Richard Nygard, even though I always sort of suspected that was just Chris talking to himself in a mirror."
"Oh, I've always heard that a woman shouldn't make the first move."
"That doesn't really apply to therapy."

I watched the episode with headphones on, and I really think it made a huge difference- you could tell how the sound designers placed the fantasy sound effects in certain positions that corresponded with their physical location.

Yeah, and even if they hadn't lampshaded it at the end, they did at the beginning, with Abed saying "does anyone else feel like we try to use D&D to reprogram people's brains?" Seems like Harmon had some second thoughts about the resolution of the first D&D episode and wanted to fix the problems.
