"Find the bathroom all right?"
"Uhhh… yeah."

She was awfully cute in My So-Called Life, but when she grew up, she grew out of it in the wrong direction.

Maybe Shakespeare had a fact-checker he could bounce ideas off of? Or just killed his off-hours hanging out in a trendy bar frequented by bitching-and-moaning lawyers and a lightbulb went off about how he could use stupid little details to pad the hell out of his plays?

The "ass-kicking waif" always seemed more a male masturbatory fantasy than anything actually female-related. Do girls really get off on physics-defying hand-to-hand combat revenge fantasies? That is, have I been hanging out with the wrong women all this time?

I agree with Jcar; Pineapple Express was enjoyable to watch, but it wasn't really all that funny. There were a few funny parts, but it was more a basic stoner vibe that might make you smile and chuckle a bit, but actual laughs were few.

It's one thing when technology replaces a pleasant, helpful dynamic with a soulless electronic one, but that this ain't. While most people have some nice memories of the helpful uber-geek at the small store (which of course had a far less extensive collection than you remember), most video store interactions are with

"Welcome to beautiful ground zero."

I don't buy food in movies simply to avoid having to take a piss in the middle of it. Same reason I try not to drink on planes.

Which is the way he wants it… well, he gets it.
I don't like it any more than you men.

I'd always sort of assumed this was another Seinfeld attempt?
I'd sort of assumed that Leonard was a way-way-watered-down version of George Costanza, while Sheldon was Jerry's issues taken to a specific extreme. The girl was Elaine, only Lorre isn't clever enough to keep her out of the main character's pants, and the

Admire, respect and have no desire to actually listen to
I fully respect what they did, the trail they blazed, and the opening they created for all that came after. But their actual music is pretty tedious.

This seems to be as likely as any to make it happen - I still haven't bought into the idea that Avengers has any non-nerd appeal, and while Captain America has a big name, it's not like there's been any real exposure to draw in the non-comic book crowd for… ever? The Tier 2 heroes they've tried (Daredevil, Punisher,

Miss Maple-Syrup.

Bring on the PG-13 Awesomeness!
I'm not going to say all remakes are bad, but if this is the pure cash-grab it sounds like, the chances of it being actually *scary* is about nil. CGI Chucky versus teen startlet du jour, with less menace than a Burger King ad. No sex, sanitized violence and the two allowed uses of

I just figured Carl couldn't find a good way to end the sentence he's started so he just threw out a generic compliment, which only accented his lack of approval of the Poochie show.

Those pics of Dennings look like what I kind of want Amy Winehouse to look like, but of course doesn't.

PG13 - implied tits.

I dunno; there's the hoary cliche when the government won't alert people to a clear threat because "it'll cause a panic!" and then we get cheap pathos when it happens anyway and all the innocent snuff it. The Soviet killer seems like it could be that come to life - "we can't let them know there's a serial killer

Read that as Eddie Van Halen
Vedder just makes it sound like death-by-twee, whereas an all-ukulele Van Halen album sounds either awesome or anti-awesome, which of course are the same thing.

Ssn 2 was fine; it was the combination of having DVDs and the drop in quality that meant I never got through Ssn 3.
