My Year of Flops: Secret Success!

Blow Out on Criterion. Huh. Okay, maybe there IS a God.

Zappa probably liked The Shaggs because they were musical equals.

You're living in a fear cage, man!

Do yourself a favor - for more Peter Serafinowicz greatness, check out season one of "Look Around You," his BBC show spoofing science-themed educational films (of all things). Brilliant British-style silliness.

No offense, Kenny, but it is a stretch.

Brian was hilarious for many reasons, but mainly because he turned out to be a sneak peek of the douchiness of the Ghost Adventures and Paranormal State a-holes.

Wow. Well stated. You just summed up every moronic talkback on Ain't It Cool News in one sentence. Which is to say, EVERY talkback on Ain't It Cool News.

Here's a pretty solid rule: Don't have any device surgically implanted into your body that's named after a joke in a Woody Allen film.

Cookie Monster is the only poster that makes me laugh every single time.

I predict a lot of award presenters standing around awkwardly while some technical glitch occurs and the planned mind-blowingness doesn't happen. I also predict this will make for shitty Oscar-watching, but fun internet-clip-watching the next day. Because no one's ever said, "Hey, that Russell Crowe can really…

I like that the busses the Dafoe character has to choose from - the choices between a fulfilling life and a failed one - are New York City (fulfilling) and Milwaukee (failed… well, you know). He takes the bus to New York! Good life choice, or so it is implied.

My Dad passed away a couple months ago.

Don't forget Blake's great acceptance of his honorary Oscar, when he came out in a motorized wheelchair like an invalid. People gasped because they hadn't seen him in so long and didn't realize he was in such terrible shape… and then the wheelchair motor gets stuck and propels him through the set! Pretty great.

"I'm a Beatles hater…"

Funniest moment of the night
The Cleveland Show ends with a title card admonishing Americans to not be so fat… followed immediately by a Fox tie-in bumper with Michael Strahan (master of comedy) pitching a double-bacon breakfast sandwich from Subway. Now THAT was funny.

Speaking of trying too hard.

Surprisingly fun.
Yeah, yeah, I've seen some iCarly episodes. And yeah, yeah they contain a lot of the staples of tween TV shows (because, y'know, it IS one). But a lot of the humor is more sophisticated than more "adult" sitcoms - I feel a lot less skeevy about watching an episode of iCarly than I do an episode of…

Bill Hicks
