Yeah I guessed they gave him a choice of the assorted interviews and pieces they run and this was the one he wanted to do. Then again he said he was uncertain on whether or not he wanted to do this interview. But choosing to do Hatesong over a traditional release-hype interview seems perfectly in line with Mr 'I don't…

I wonder if there's been a conscious decision to avoid that given that both the PFT/Ben Schwarz episode and this weeks ones deviated from protocol. Admittedly James Adomian episodes often don't end in would you rather because he keeps the insanity going and WYR is generally dropped when the podcast is ticking along…

Yurp, thoroughly interesting if a little light. Her description sums it up pretty well. Just explains life in this crazy crazy prison - (the coke thing, whilst part of the story, is rather secondary to the social structure and general way the prison works). It's about an English drug trafficker (who the author met…

Whats fun is that the book has a Shyamalan twist anyways - thats totally going to be attributed to old M.  The twist actually isn't too bad in that it at least explains most of the mysteries of the book in a cohesive way that is fairly hard to guess. But yes, doing this isn't going to do wonders for his…

Fair play. Doesn't matter a jot that she's Zooey Deschanel, this is about the audience not any "diva-esque" behaviour of a famous person. I'm sick to death of camera phones at gigs and thoroughly glad bands are starting to clamp down on it. Also, I would imagine that should you desperately feel the need to capture the…

Also it's possibly safe to assume that most of the discussion here (and to be honest aside from the occasional 'he was good in the good wife' comment the only discussion worth actually reading) is going to be spoilery. We're discussing something not in the show yet. If this was posted in the comments section of an…

Shocking horror.  The comments on an article about a book character that has yet to appear in the show contains spoilers. I was hoping it would entirely be a discussion of that single photo and what the name Oberyn could possibly mean

I assumed the hotel room stuff was very deliberately different from the walking and talking of the previous 2 films. One of the main themes of the film is what happens when the romantic 'what could have' been relationship of the the previous films becomes a reality. Also it's clear in the argument that both of them,…

Also, now having seen the film - it's very clear they're their kids

She jokes that she has 2 kids in 'Sunset'. It's fairly clearly a joke though..

@avclub-ddf39be6eb089c51636d28ea68254f5c:disqus Also, unless you scroll down line by line and read each word individually in order it's pretty easy to have read/absorbed multiple words in a paragraph before clocking the spoiler warning.  Or maybe that's just me reading in an absurd way

@avclub-5c7646b1d39fc0715f330479e4e5f254:disqus I think it's more because Marenghi is influenced by both King and the original Riget (there are some fairly overt references IIRC, the fake production credits have names of people from the Danish show) and thus the fact that there later was a show that also combined both…

I remember people (obviously not here) declaring it past it's prime in season 3 (I guess they objected to the office split or something). Considering common consensus is the 2nd season takes a little while to get to full steam you could keep following these arguments to discover the Office's prime was about 4 minutes…

BOOK FOUR/FIVE SPOILERS

I think the bigger reason is contracts. You either release them from their contracts and run the risk of them moving to a different show (especially given that GoT has upped most of it's actor's stock) and not being able to get them back when you need them. Or you keep them contracted, try and argue for a contract…

Twin Peaks is approximately my favourite piece of media ever.  I enjoy rewatching it, but only if I'm rewatching with someone who's not seen it before. Every couple of years a friend or significant other will be interested in watching it and if I've not see it for a while I'll come along for the ride. Watching with a…

Yeah rewatching something you enjoy to gain more from it is all well and good. Insisting that if you've not rewatched something you're not doing it right (doing it right) or that you have to do so to enjoy it not so much. Perhaps "Oh you need to watch all episodes twice before it gets good" is the new "Oh you need to…

@avclub-5a0df9912d0e408728e09ee62f8fee7c:disqus I have a feeling the show is just constantly setting stuff up for future punchlines. Like how they have Anne Veal and Gene Parmesan and have yet to do anything about that, and they add a third similarly food surnamed person in an episode or two. By doing this, when they…

Sounds pretty good, will have to hunt it out. He was a pretty good performer, although the show I saw it was more about his 'character'. He was there with a band, doing mostly covers with lots of funny banter between songs. He did play "one track lover" from Darkplace which was awesomeo
