This killed at SXSW, the audience I was in ate it up. Won the Jury Award too. I'd rate it higher than Noel as well. While the look and structure of the doc isn't anything special, the trust that Malmberg clearly built up with a very private, slow-to-trust is remarkable and I'd argue that is far more important than…

The cameo was a little distracting at first (I mean while he's still covered up), but bully to Ames for flashing his average junk. It wasn't amusing because "Ah! Naked man!" but because he bared all where his dick-obsessed alter-ego didn't.

Abed's Asperger's
What about the direct nod to Abed's Asperger's, the line about not seeing Jeff's mouth curve up, "Did I misunderstand?" Have they been that blatant about it before?

Damn Supple, that was some fine alliteration in sentence #2.

Praise Bob, something new.

Claire, if you haven't already you should listen to Ep 154: In Dog We Trust, specifically Act Three. It's fiction and they say so, but I got so wrapped up in it that I wanted it to be real. Best fiction I've heard on the show (and I generally share your opinion).

Watching the Rock Hudson-Doris Day comedies in a theater with a contemporary audience is incredibly fun. He absolutely embodies the macho, different-girl-every-night ideal of the time, and yet there's always an undercurrent (or even a blatant plot thread) where the makers are clearly having fun with the image vs. the…

Yeah my friend and I were rather shocked that most people in the audience were surprised. "Attention upper-crusty white over 30 people, women do not have man-wrists and sing in bars where very very clearly the other singers are drag queens with big Adam's apples!"

Also worked fine in Angels in America, at least when he finally slept with a guy instead of his narcotized wife.

Saw this at SXSW. It's not good, but it's not D+ bad either. It's watchable I guess. The weirdest thing about it is that Patrick Wilson is way too good looking (and ripped in a scene obviously included as lady-and-gay-man bait) for the loser role he plays. Aside from the bad goatee and clothes, he's got the same looks…

Pico I'm with you. I was on-the-fence about the guys *until* they met the family. They were far more curious, respectful, and sensitive than I expected and it turned me into a fan of the doc. Curious though, as someone who's actually seen it do you think it could be a hoax and why?

SPOILERS

LetEnglandShake, you raise an interesting point. Let me preface this by saying that I don't think Catfish is fake at all. The initial footage is crappy palmcorder quality, indifferently shot, and has huge gaps in time (which the interview explained). All leading credence to the idea that this doc did not go where they…

I'm curious to know what people claiming fraud are basing that on. Actual facts or at least very keen observations, not just vague suspicions. As well, in this day don't you think folks would have dug up the dirt if it exists on a Sundance doc that's getting a theatrical release? Burden's on y'all.

I had a medical nerdgasm myself at him and his Pro-Teens. It would have been disturbing if he'd actually injected, erm, DNA into something or someone.

Now that's an obscure reference. I have a feeling that was tacked to a wall somewhere til it could be incorporated into an episode.

I seriously question your conclusion on Morgan "I have a girlfriend and rock climb so clearly I'm a manly man in the pastry world (yet I'm also a remarkably fussed over sniping prick)." Eh, maybe he's just a garden-variety narcissistic ass with overly waxed eyebrows, but dang that guy just shouts "I have something to…

As I recall the comment, Hung had best seafood dish and Kevin had best meat dish at the US competition to make the team, though I have no idea what that actually meant in terms of who went to Bocuse.

And the door guy at the comedy club was another stand-up, Ted Alexandro.

A fair supposition.
