The great thing about sexist jokes is that even beyond the morality of them, they're just really terrible jokes.

REPOST FROM ELSEWHERE

I saw the French version back when it came out. I remember not being real crazy about the plot, but the action/chase scenes were really well done.

Yeah, my first instinct was "Ooh! T-shirts!" and then I remembered that I hate wearing novelty t-shirts.

So now can we digitally alter Quantum of Solace so that QUANTUM is called SPECTRE? Because, let's be honest, QUANTUM is a seriously stupid name.

The Scar one is especially terrible. The only change is the names.

I love this Wes Anderson John McCain ad: it's very Wes Anderson-y without directly referencing any specific movie (altho it uses a song from Life Aquatic, but what are you gonna do)

Yo, sorry if someone's already said this but there's a shitload of comments I don't wanna sift through (plus no one's gonna read this)

Both midi-chlorians and the Avatar's backstory were mundane explanations that took away some of the mystical quality of the original world they were based on.

Yeah, it didn't EXPLICITLY say that the Avatar was the first one to bend or to bend energy, but I always assumed that the Avatar was the first one to bridge the spirit and human world and created bending. Instead it's just a thing that always existed, which is not terribly interesting.

- Yes, the lion turtle was doing energy bending, but the quote from A:TLA's finale implies that the first human benders were energy benders and the specific elements only came later. You could certainly argue that's not what he meant, but the idea bending began as a spiritual/religious practice involving souls (or…

"In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements but the energy within ourselves. Well, FIRST we bent the elements. The energy-bending thing didn't come until way later, actually."

Ah, yes, because The Shadow had a bad script, Baldwin can't play a superhero

@avclub-e645fac0eb6ba202e3dc7b413dab7b7f:disqus Yeah, they mentioned his kids in a couple episodes, but making him a dad didn't fundamentally change his character in a way you would expect. He moved in with Lady and then immediately moved out so the show could go back to status quo.

@avclub-487cf32249fbaaa5a79258e26d54fe19:disqus The "wack" comment was directed at the hypothetical people who say their favorite Simpsons episodes are the sappy ones, but they're, uh, hypothetical, so fair enough.

I think people overrate the complexity of the characters and the nuance of their emotions. It's more like, for an episode or three, Finn will be angsty with girl problems and then it'll go back to normal. Remember how Jake had a bunch of kids and then they almost never mentioned it again?

It could be something crazy like the United States versus Japan, but that's a little far-fetched

Because I didn't pay close attention to Europa, I thought "werwolf" was just code for a sleeper agent *cracks knuckles* and I'm just gonna go on believing that.

I almost never listen to stuff like this. I guess the idea is that the vocals by themselves are more pure or something? but they were never meant to be listened to like this (and honestly aren't that fun unless it's a song where the music already played a small role).

Can I get a shoutout to whoever that blonde woman is that pops up all the time? Any time she has a line, she nails the facial expression. Off the top of my head I can only remember "Mark Twain has hit the shittttt" but there are more.
