It's real. There's no real gain from faking it - the whole point is to see how outrageous they can make each other react, not just the reactions of other people to their antics. A couple of the guys have done a few Reddit AMAs where this is asked repeatedly and they've always stated that what you see is what they…

Office Space and Idiocracy were box office bombs that went on to become comparatively huge on home video. Neither of them were marketed well (especially Idiocracy, whose poor treatment seems to have been the result many of the parodied corporations raising hell with Fox.)

Not in my book, no. That's a very "typical Hollywood" sounding ending. Too revenge-y. I thought it was pretty damned perfect as it was.

"This shit gets reviewed"… "I have never seen Wayward Pines." Thanks for being honest!

Better Off Dead 2: Still Better Off Dead.

Of all the purges above, this is the one I keep thinking about. It's a really, really great album. I listen to it a lot more than Return of the Frog Queen, to be honest. Kind of a perfect in-between of his solo stuff and SDRE.

Weird. I don't think a single band that surfaced in the wake of FNM sounds anything like them. I think they just heard Epic and forgot what a weird, wide-ranging set of influences they put on display in everything they did. They just didn't GET what made FNM so special.

Not the only one! I love it too. I also love Hours - but I may be the only one there. Reeve's soloing in "If I'm Living My Life" gets me every time.

I don't tend to take AV Club reviews of family movies very seriously - they make the mistake many other critics do of not watching it from the point of view of the audience it's aimed at but as an adult and apply criticism aimed at films meant for adults. (This is something Ebert was so good at, and there doesn't…

I suppose it's something about which one could hold palaver.

If the show you're talking about is what I'm thinking of, they play all, or most, of their last album (I'm With You.) That's the only album since Mother's Milk that I've thought was good - and I'm "brave enough" to admit that I think it's actually surprisingly good and I still return to it once in a while.

Judging by most promo standards, especially early ones like this, this actually looks like it has some promise. Promos always seem to be pretty generic. The angle of the jokes in this one look like there's potential for better stuff in the actual show.

No way that Mike actually dies. If you don't see a body, it didn't happen. I'm sure Mike's old boat-buddy will corral the group and threaten them for a while, only to have Mike show up and possibly save them - but more probably cause more problems since they didn't exactly part on good terms. Good way to keep Sudeikis…

I just kept thinking when she was on, "Why didn't any of my teachers look like that?" Every single one of them: weird and/or old. One of my (female) science teachers actually looked like a human/frog hybrid.

If it was the virus that took down everyone else, it would also have gotten the cow long ago. So it's not The Virus but something else. I mean, obviously, they can take liberties with how this stuff works, but it seems like a big stretch to say that this cow lived years with the virus around it but not succumbing to…

Exactly what I was thinking! I have a hard time believing the drone's appearance and this mystery ailment are purely coincidental. But they do take dark turns on this show so it's impossible to tell. It's probably safe to say that if we either don't see Mike in the finale - or don't see him die - he's probably going…

It's not "advocating" for Nick and Jess getting back together - it's going to happen. They've been dropping hints here and there for quite a while. It's been kept suitably low-key, but it's there - longing looks, unguarded comments, just little things. All of the other relationships that Jess and Nick have separately…

What also floats in water?
Bread!
Apples!
Very small rocks!

I think it's that David Brent wasn't a character - it was just Gervais, as written by Stephen Merchant. I think most of us gave Gervais a pass early on when we wanted/he wanted us to believe that he wasn't Brent, but the more he did and said, the more it became obvious that the insufferable prick that was David Brent…

How does AV Club claim to not regularly watch New Girl? They have an in-depth, comically scholarly, overly-analytical review/knob-polishing session for every episode.
