So is CGI ruining movies?  Now that anything is possible on the screen, movies seem to have been reduced to having the stakes of a cartoon (great recent CGI cartoon movies, ironically, nothwithstanding).  It is sad that we have to look back at movies like Total Recall with wistful reverence, when they were nothing…

Great example, and also I love that clip.  I grew up in Philly and have a serious love/hate relationship with the city and the attitude.  I think all Philadelphians do.

This is a bad idea for two reasons.  1. It's not funny at all.  2. All stand-up comedians/performers want to get the audience on their side.  Even insult comedians hurling invective at their own audience want the audience to love them so much that they LOVE being eviscerated by the comic.  No one can say definitively…

Did you guys not find the Dude's apartment complex?  It's right off Venice Blvd, I parked directly in front of it one time by accident when I was going to the canals.

You mean "corruption" not "conflation".  A conflation is always between two things, and doesn't really make sense even beyond that in the sentence.  I'm here to help.  (I'm sure there's a misspelling somewhere in this comment.  I can deal.)

Irvine's really not in the middle of nowhere, it's right in highly populated southern Orange County and there is a major airport (John Wayne) right next to it.  Especially compared to Indio… I can't really thing how they would handle a Coachella-sized event there, unless it was on the old military grounds.

I really enjoyed season 2.  Season 3…..eh, it was just enough.  They probably should have just kept it at 1 season and left me wanting more.  After the S3 ep with Will Ferrell where Kenny and Stevie were dodging cannonballs, they really just lost me.

My DVR randomly stopped recording this show mid-way through the 3rd season.  I took no effort to rectify the situation.  That said, McBride should get all the money he can, so go for it.
