Naked is a great film, David Thewlis gives a performance of a lifetime, but people who think it's Leigh's best either don't get the subtly of his earlier works (what a larger than life character!) or they're just more inclined to the tawdry aspects of life that Johnny finds contemptible (they're such mean bastards!).

I thought he was being sarcastic at first, because I thought all the shows on Netflix were unlikely to win, but then he complimented all the other shows, so apparently he just thinks that one is a cut above the rest. I guess, I have to give it a shot. Yea, but every person who won out a category in which they faced

*acting like a prick in general

If Daniels had actually watched Breaking Bad and Mad Men, I'm sure his acceptance speech would consist of him crying and saying "I don't deserve it. I'm sorry. Please, take it back. I'm not worthy." Because if he was truly aware of how ridiculous it was that he won and he went up on stage chewing gum and acting like,

Mr. Show was brilliant. I love Bob Odenkirk. That lie detector test sketch is probably one of the most well crafted sketches of all time. It should be in the sketch hall of fame. I guess, I just think Kids in The Hall are the best, and they don't get enough credit, I'm always hearing about Mr. Show and Monty Python.

That Coach is no slouch. Yeah, as far as Larry Sanders, I can see why they'd not find why young'ins today would not find it stimulating enough, but I think sometimes you have to adjust your sense of pacing so that show's can be different. Not everything can be as quick and loaded with jokes while keeping everything as

I totally agree. Everything is subjective. But that is needless to say in the realm of the arts. Someone can say Breaking Bad is overrated, or it's just okay. Technically, as far as the record keepers and fact checkers are concerned, he or she is not wrong or right, it's just an opinion, and opinions mean nothing in

Yeah, but not to be a nitpicker, they should be doing a better job of it. To me Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development are building and evolving from what Seinfeld and The Simpsons did, where as all those unpopular but critically acclaimed NBC comedies seem to be imitating what those shows accomplished but not

The 90's had Larry Sanders, Seinfeld, Frasier, all the best episodes of The Simpsons, NewsRadio, Kids in the Hall, peak episodes of KOTH. How can anyone dispute it was the best time for TV comedy? I think all the shows said to be the spawn of Arrested Development, are really just the grandchildren of The Simpsons and

I know ,it's a total fantasy, but they're already making a spin-off that's a sitcom, and a poster of Jesse and WJ  ice fishing dressed as Eskimos with "Pink and White" in bold jokerman font has been stuck in my head for quite awhile.

I just want Pinkman to adopt Walter Jr, and they move to Alaska, and open up a laser tag center called Flynn's. Because if they go full on Greek tragedy, I might have to make myself a ricin omelette. And yes, the bacon will be made out to be a 52.

Born in Illinois, so "Saturday in The Park" by Chicago for this dump. Raised in Florida, so "Smooth" by Santana featuring Rob Thomas for that hell hole.  Just kidding.  All I know is the national anthem should be changed to "America" by Yes, we should have to stand up much longer before we watch anything of merit.

Pretty good song writers? You're being wry I take it, because they are great song writers. And I think I heard Gene say that song was about his ex-wife, but I could be mixing that up with another one, because he wrote a bunch of songs about that lady. 'Sarah' and 'She Wanted to Leave' for instance. Stallion Pt. 3 has

That's why they pay you the big bucks while I'm at the learning annex teaching Hellenic Arts & Crafts to single-mothers and the men who prey on them.

reDonkulous is going to be the subject line for every email I send from now on. 

Yeah, I just consider those other seasons to be the prime of the prime. Season 9, 10, 11 were good but that's when it started to become clear it was devolving, but still solid enough. I think most sensible people would agree after Behind The Laughter was the last episode before things just got dicey, followed by the

Yeah, I think the Weinstein and Oakley run is not lauded enough. They were in charge for many of my favorite episodes. And Season 8 brought us Homer's Phobia which was relentless in the amount of rapid fire quality jokes it had, also it produced the last great Sideshow Bob episode with David Hyde Pierce bringing the

And Emila Clarke is nominated instead of Michelle Fairley or Maisie Williams. It's like these people don't even watch the show, they just feel obligated to vote for it because it's part of the zeitgeist, and thus vote for the actors who they think are the stars because they have the hottest careers.  And Charles Dance

The Simpsons have just been pissing and shitting the bed for the last thirteen years, but this is a new low. It has been like the slow and terrible fall of Rome and this episode is going to be the sacking.  I need to watch some seriously rad Season 2, 3,4,5,6,7,8 episodes to cure me of this bilious heart. I hope the

Dude, dude, I knoooow. That throne is like if someone designed a high chair with toothpicks. Uncomfortable and impractical. Also, that show IS totally not dramatic once you realize that the people on it are just actors pretending to be people who don't even exist.
