Who's still rooting for Walt exactly? In the 3000+ comments this'll probably get I bet not a one is actively (and genuinely, Mr. Troll) hoping to see Walt and Skyler on a faraway beach at the end, True Romance style.

"… I imagine that pretty much everyone who’s ever watched The Simpsons knows about this episode."

I think it was embarrassing simply because he did the commercial in the first place, not necessarily for the content. It's almost incomprehensible to younger people today that at one point it would be the end of your career and credibility to be in a McDonalds ad or on a reality show. Selling out now is just something

Yeah, you're right. There still needs to be a spin off that takes place entirely on Greedo planet.

Check any comments section.. except on the site you're actually posting on, where the community, as far as I can see from my unhealthy, near-hourly visits, seems to be more or less pro-Lee and almost unanimously anti-Braff. (And, anti-Mamet daughters, but that's just good sense.)

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I think that's an unfair standard to judge failure by. The idea that we need to really get to know the person under the costume is a pretty recent development in superhero movies, and using that as a measure of whether it works or not is really just a matter of taste.

The problem most of us have with DeNiro, I think, isn't that he was in movies that may have sounded good on paper but didn't really come together for whatever reason (Good Shephard being a decent example of that, it COULD have been good), it's that he's just cashing in Michael Caine style on garbage that ought to be

I'd define it as something like "Simple minded retellings of news stories that happened six months ago and you kind of barely remember, and more often than not the endings are changed in a way that has to be horribly offensive to the real life victims who went through it."

Seriously, that's nothing- I mean it might take a year, but if it exists and you have the cash you can get anything now. Hell get a laserdisc player and you'd be amazed how many cheap and super-obscure movies you can find that never made it to DVD.

Yeah, it's hard to really express to the 30 and under how omnipresent the nuclear war fear really was, and how inevitable it felt. There was really no sign just a few years before that the Soviet Union could possibly collapse, it really seemed like US vs USSR was going to be how the world was until the day, very soon,

The theme song itself is all kinds of racist—

I always wondered if these "very special episodes" were a way of fulfilling some sort of FCC-mandated public service announcement or educational TV requirement, the same way they have to have the black intellectual roundtable show at 5:30 am on Sunday.

The late 70s, early to mid 80s were positively medieval when it comes to urban legends and mass hysteria. If you ask the typical middle class suburban mom, the arcades and black-lit back rooms of Spencers Gifts at the mall are full of Satanists, angel dust pushers, pedophiles and cult leaders trying to steal their

Bonar Bain on SCTV is one of the greatest things there is.

Mmm. Now, how well would such armor stand up to the sharpened blade of a bill-guisarme or voulge?

Maybe Dexter had Pandora on his phone and that song happened to come on? Maybe Dexter has an easy to guess iTunes store password? Maybe the killer just upgraded to the new 32gb ipod touch and left his old 8gb fourth generation in the dock?

I'm wondering if the star of this infamous spin-off could be Hannah…?

Maybe we'll finally get to meet this "Brad" and find out how he got broken, because so far I don't understand this title at all.

Can you translate that somehow to how many cups of Starbucks it would cost?
