@avclub-b20754d0f1e8ae843e00a8b39a667112:disqus God dammit. I blame Netflix and its adding Justice League and JLU to streaming, thus forcing me to mainline nearly every episode this weekend.

Maybe it opened a long weekend of programming celebrating the long reach of the two "modern masters" in American entertainment: Apatow & Abrams. Open Thursday night with FSM and Super 8, spend Friday discussing Superbad and Cloverfield, devote Saturday to M:I:III and The 40-Year Old Virgin, and close out Sunday with Lo…

He could still come back as Darkseid's weird footman, couldn't he?

The Abed screaming thing made me laugh, but everything felt pretty forced, like you were reaching for jokes to establish characters, rather than letting them arise naturally from the situation. Telling, rather than showing. Everything April said, really. It'd probably be smoother if you jammed the P&R sorta-mock-doc…

Hey, just because they downloaded it, doesn't mean they watched it.

Shoot - my gradually lowering proofreading standards have betrayed me yet again!

As someone who, as a child, wore out a VHS copy of this movie in tandem with several copies of Star Wars, I really only have two words for Mr. Kosinski: Robert. Forster.

I kind of hope NBC's ratings keep going in the tank, so they no longer have an excuse to do really weird shit.

At least it looks like he went out with some serious fireworks; the Fast 6 trailer is more purely entertaining than 99% of the movies that've come out in the last few decades.

Who replaces Jimmy? That's easy: the Roots.

Playing the first customer to get drawn into the flower shop by Audrey II was the highlight of my high school theater career. Such a strange and interesting plant, that…

…plot?

I stand kind of between @avclub-64ad8f3af92ef8d9a1c7dfd7265e577d:disqus and @avclub-989ca0fe3ec0682c7349593ff5feb4a4:disqus - it has its moments, and it does a better job of integrating its references than, say, Family Guy, but the writing's sub-Cory Doctorow, and if it didn't have those, "Oh, yeah, Voltron!" moments…

Tim Burton's really turned into that guy he played in Singles, hasn't he?

Hear, hear. Most of my unplanned album purchases the last two years have come from this feature, and today's no different.

All right, Pixar, you've got another chance to remake The Searchers here. Don't screw it up this time…

Now now, it seems to me that Last Man Standing is at least trying to fit itself into the framework of those great shows, which is mildly more ambitious than restaging Spock's funeral beat by beat.

Is that Semi-Professional [Maga]Zine, or the mood-improving chemical they get injected with if they win?

How does this have anything to do with the majesty of high school football in small-town Texas?

When my girlfriend and I visit her aunt, she always has the TV turned to CBS, and I always have to stop and stare at it for a few minutes to figure out exactly what the hell I'm staring at. It's like I've fallen into an alternate universe where people look serious in soft lighting.
