Aw man, I hope Bob's Burgers survives. So funny, and paced so differently from the rest of the Fox Sunday shows.

I've only read The Women and Tooth & Claw, both of which I liked. I thought Tooth & Claw was especially awesome - he seems to be best-suited for short stories. Though I'm definitely interested in reading more of his novels.

Poor Buckner. The reason I chose him for my avatar is that I really do feel bad for him. Now he gets to weigh in on pop culture on the internet, which I'd imagine totally makes up for all the shit people pile on him.

You lose one World Series…

May I be the first to say
That I gladly accept your CancerAIDS and will show myself out.

Just curious
Why didn't you guys see My Idiot Brother? It looks like a good time. In any case, really enjoyed your Sundance coverage.

I've had a crush on Holly Hunter since forever. But I also have a crush on Albert Brooks, so I clearly can't be trusted.

Oh, that's the joke HatchetJob was doing. Um… dammit.

Pierce would be the perfect one to write a review about a movie concerning journalistic fabrication! I'm too lazy to turn that into an actual joke, so I'm just gonna let it sit there.

Broadcast News
Just curious, is there a review coming for the Criterion edition of Broadcast News?

Yes!
Glad these guys are getting some recognition. I loved Broken West, and this record has a lot of that band's charm. "Under the Gun" is a clear highlight.

Totally Alison Brie. For everything, ever.

Dushku? Just spitballin' here.

Yes! That's a good record.

@wolfmansRazor: I was super into Yield too! How did that happen?!

And now the most adventurous thing they do is Will It Float. Though they did do that whole week of ventriloquist guests, which was pretty cool.

Letterman on NBC
really needs to be put on DVD. I started watching him the night he went to CBS and immediately realized I missed out on everything. Then the E! network started airing reruns of the NBC show, for some reason, and man was that great. He really used to be so creative, instead of just old. Even early on…

Best New Pretention

How about this column, in which the writer proposes the idea that if he had only played 808s & Heartbreak for his friend who recently committed suicide, he could have saved his life.

Oh my god that bugs me too. I'm so glad someone else is bothered by it.
