When Anchorman came out, it was hard to appreciate it outside of the context of the growing popularity of "frat pack" movies. I liked it, I guess, but every asshole I knew from high school / early college quoted it ad nauseum, so I was hesitant to say I liked it. I don't think it's a controversial opinion. I know…

Say hello to my little friend, Greedo!

I feel I must interject here. You're getting carried away, feeling sorry for yourself.

I know! This is the worst Simpsons reference response time ever. Good hustle, @ComradeQuestions:disqus ; the rest of you, 20 laps and hit the showers.

I really wanted to like Waking Life, and I love Linklater normally, but something about it was just unbearable. It's not like I can't watch people sitting and talking - I spend an inordinate amount of time watching conversations between scientists/philosophers/activists on youtube. Still, I had to stop watching after…

Maybe there is no space raccoon. Maybe it's one of those, uh, metaphorical things. Like maybe the "space racoon" is the space inside each of us created by our goodwill and teamwork.

Presumably he won't need help reacting to anything.

Oh man, where's Billy Corgan

I don't know any of the Tesla literature. I'd like to read more about Turing. One nice thing about A Mathematician's Apology is that it lays out proofs of two very deep mathematical propositions (the infinite number of primes, and the irrationality of the square root of two), but does so using basic arithmetic and…

Yeah, although I didn't take that away as the reason he did math on a day-to-day basis. It was more of a take a step back and consider the big picture kind of justification. Although, I guess of all people, pure mathematicians are among the most likely to be obsessed with the big picture.

I'm sure he has. I can't tell you the number of first-year calculus problems I've come across that start with some version of "A bag of dicks is leaking at a rate proportional to the amount remaining in the bag…"

WHERE'S GROWING PAINS?

Finally saw Stahhh Trek: Wicked Dahkness. I liked it a lot, not as much as the first. [SPOILERS] I was a bit disappointed at how Khan's irredeemable villainy was revealed. Maybe I was just annoyed that the time-travel element was restricted to a single scene, whereas they made it an interesting part of the plot in the…

My favorite set of contiguous scenes from the entire series might be at the beginning of Homie the Clown, from Krusty's reckless post-show gambling and decadence, to Homer finally admitting his desire to go to clown college.

Well, first of all, I said he was "established" and "published"; I referred to the A.V. Club as being "respected." That he is "published" is trivially true; that he is "established," and that the A.V. Club is "respected," are subjective assessments, I suppose. I'm deeply sorry. He won a Hugo Award, which sounds…

@avclub-5bbc67c39fbdf1c74e28b86c595f6e4a:disqus :
His article was saccharine. He played to what people wanted to hear … rather than challenging us with a unique perspective or letting us into what was so unpleasant about his personal life that he seems to have turned exclusively to other worlds to find happiness.

TWO reviewers?

It's too bad this article probably won't get many more views. This is an outstanding takedown.

Whoopi Goldberg gets in character as a young, alternate-universe Don King, in which he has been in an insane asylum since 1967.

Seven seasons of brown. It's official, they've become The Gross Crew.
