I gotta agree, anxie… I wasn't the right age when this came out to have feelings of nostalgia for it, and even if I had been the right age I just can't imagine liking this move. Not only did it seem loud and pointless, it seemed really really shitty. And not shitty in an interesting way, like Manos or Rocky Horror. …

"Since my most desired sequel has finally happened…"

Totally agree on everything—including D2 fistfights—except "Cradle of Love." The hook just bugs me in that song. "Rock the Cradle of Love?" THAT'S good enough to write a song around!?

This deserves many more likes.

I was trying to calculate how many millions of times better your idea is than this season's "Becket gets hired by the Feds, is separated from everybody" story arc, but my calculator melted.

Holy fuck yes, finkles!

The first time I saw Goldeneye I kept waiting for Bond to explain to Natalya that the situation they were in was "Just like North by Northwest—Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, 1959."  And then come up with a silly con full of wacky hyjinks to defeat Sean Bean's character.  (Who would still die, obviously.)

Nothing in that LA Times quote says anything about Polanski "serving" a "sentence."  Polanski never made it to the sentencing phase.  I'm not surprised an ADA would want the judge taken off the case; ADA's get mad when they find out the judge isn't going to follow their plea agreement.

"Fines and terms of incarceration" were not "ordered and served."  What the judge did doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen and isn't "malfeasance."  There's a difference between accepting a plea and sentencing someone on that plea.  Quite often sentencing happens months after the court accepts the defendant's…

What is this I don't even

I second that.  I complained that Josh's review of the first episode of this season was too negative and wasn't giving the show a decent chance.  That seems hilarious in retrospect, as the show just got more and more terrible with each episode.

I only hope that by Phase II of this, they get to Willrow Hood…

Didn't show up on AVC's top 50 films of the 90's!?

See, I understand the concept of hecklers, and I'm willing to accept the idea that your friends are perfectly fine people when they're not at a comedy club.

A million likes.

"And the problem with all of this is we don't know if the show knows this, if this all part of the general idea of Continuum."

I was thirteen too, and you are so right about the use of laugh tracks back then.  Phil's takedown is funny and all, but it's the sort of commentary I'd expect from someone who didn't experience early 80's comedies in their natural (schlocky) environment.

"Hey, Corky. You wanna put your pee-pee in a girl's ha-ha? Be outside in 15 minutes."

Crizzappie is right—I watched most of this show's output from its first "These Friends of Mine" season to the end, and its worst season is season 5. This isn't because Ellen had come out.  I was really happy when she came out and was looking forward to what the writers would do with the development.  But what they did…

I know I'm late to this particular party, but I have to say this comment is fucking excellent. Could not have said it better.
