No votes on ANY ballots for Kurt Vile, none for Fuzz/Ty Segall, none for Thee Oh Sees, or Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, or Kadaver, or the new Monster Magnet or QOTSA…

The wordless Roger Miller song from the Disney animated Robin Hood.

Ugh.
So pretty much everyone with a Twitter account thinks they are Andy Kaufman now?
He's dead. And you're not him.

Forget Don Draper. The most mysterious and elusive of Sterling Cooper employees is "Dale", who is seen throughout the episode pallin' around with the rest of the copywriters, in the deodorant scene, in the lunch scene (he's the one who jokes about paying Peggy for sex, what a riot, that Dale!), etc. like he might be

Yes, this is exactly how I feel.

I second all of that. There's no doubt in my mind, I'd put the deluxe edition of Sell Out as their #1 studio album. Glittering Girl and Jaguar are coming to mind as highlights of the outtakes. (The songs The Who threw away are better than most bands best stuff!) Album is a great summary of everything The Who could

It's a great standout scene and a good example of how the directors really nailed the subtle tone of Harvey's comics, as it was pretty much lifted straight from one of his pages.

Anyone else remember when Tom Hanks actually did play an uncle, to the kids on Family Ties?  He had a bad drinking problem, and it wasn't just played for laffs! It was a Very Special Episode.

Oh, I love 2001 and have seen it many, many times. And I still prefer old school FX as I grew up with them. Regardless of whether 2001's visuals hold up, Tyson saying why bother to see one movie with zero-G stuff in it when there is a good 45-yr old one struck me as ridiculous crotchety old man stuff.

Not too mention the actual visuals. Effects-wise, Gravity is to 2001 what 2001 was to Melies's  A Trip to the Moon. 

@Scrawler2:disqus "His manic energy". Amen. Occasionally slamming the piano keys like that is just rude. A pox on my ears!

Oh, and one more thing…
No one said Lt. Columbo. He's the best there is. 

I think part of is it was a victim of timing. Sopranos was still on when Deadwood started, so it was always going to be considered second best of that current HBO crop, whether it deserved that opinion or not. Then it was canceled prematurely, before Sopranos was done. So there was no ending fanfare of critics like

See, we can tell you've never seen Deadwood, because you are comparing it to a video game. It's like saying, "Gee, that clip of The Wire looks really good. Looks like Grand Theft Auto the TV show."

That's all-time great Mom logic right there.

Thank you.  I was wondering how far I'd have to scroll down before this answer would appear.

St. John Lord Merridew would eat both those guys for breakfast. Then retire to the depths of his hedge garden maze for tea.

Billy Crystal is the worst.

"You're all free to go! Free to go!" shouts McGoohan.
But none of them leave.

It was incredibly consistent for a show that was on 13 seasons. There was never a bad season, it never jumped the shark. (You could argue a peak sometime in the early seasons 2-x., but the quality was still relatively high right to the end I think.)
