I'm probably older than you. And I didn't start with the insults. Someone else did, and what can I say, I guess I'm in the mood to trade them. When you guys all gang up in a nerd herd, it's annoying. And to defend fucking ARGO! Just nuts.
I don't really have a problem with the concept of altering a story to make it a better movie. I just think the way that it was done in this instance was amateurish and frankly ridiculous.
Was Argo really so much better than Pearl Harbor? I think Ben learned a thing or two from Mike on that set. They both took a historical event and shamelessly cheesed the fuck out of it for mainstream appeal. Argo employs every cliche in the book to pad out Handsome Rescuer's mission to save Stock Character Actors,…
As long as this keeps him from directing movies for a while, I'm all for it!
One of my favorite ongoing gags in Sunny is that, despite how thoroughly misanthropic, amoral and arguably just pain evil the gang is, they're also super sensitive to any potential racism. They don't even let each other say the word "jew"!

That’s when it changed from “Wow!” to “Uh-oh, what’s going on here?”
That's pretty clumsy. I hope she didn't break it.
I liked the Savage Land arc allright, although it went on probably a bit too long. It was definitely a step up from the Frankenstein's circus arc, which I hated and which went on for-goddam-ever.
It's like going to a restaurant with a huge menu. You're not really going to know what you like and what you don't until you sample it. And, similarly, there are different options for different types of people (Young Avengers for the kids; Avengers for those interested in epic stories with a capital E; New Avengers…
It's disgusting when media properties are just blatantly trying to wring as many dollars out of consumers as possible, without even trying to be subtle about it. Speaking of disgusting, who's hungry for a McDonald's quarter-pounder BLT?
Time to pop a shush on this guy!
@avclub-ca6cb47da12090ffd2470daf51f71be1:disqus Argo has to be pretty close to Crash and Chicago on the list of "terrible movies that for some fucked up reason won the best picture oscar"
@avclub-0f0d67e214f9fef69b278e3d08114da9:disqus That describes the crowds in the shows I've been to in L.A., too. Kind of a hipster thing, isn't it, the whole refusal to dance or engage?
@persia2:disqus Yeah, I was trying to say as much — that if I was going to nitpick this show, I would generally target the show's believability over its characterizations. Even aside from the TV-friendly depiction of the meth trade, too many of the show's big scenes have relied on near-miraculous timing (Hank showing…
I'm not sure it ever was a happy marriage, or at least not recently. There's so much we don't know about their marriage pre-cancer diagnosis. For instance that 15-year gap between Junior and Holly … there's something goin on there
I agree with some of this, and there're actually some problems I have with the show's plausibility that aren't even mentioned here. Which isn't to say that I don't find this show to be entertaining and compelling as hell, because I do. But I also don't think of it as realistic at all. To me it went into fantasy-land…
That last sentence is pretty trolly though. Ending not with "that's just my opinion, guys" but "this show is probably the end-mark of the golden age of television" is basically saying "come at me bros" (It's also a pretty shallow, cliched way to end an article lamenting the overpraise of shallow cliches)
What about Mike? Am I crazy or did it seem like Mike got way more screen time than Gus in season 4?
That episode has the series' funniest moment too. "A robot?"
