I think the inclusion of the church bombing is the worst thing the film did. The way they did it was totally exploitative, and reminded me of that bit of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close where the kid imagines his father hitting the pavement. Thankfully, it's so early in the film it's easy to forget about it.…

That's what got me into the theater! Well, that and the free ticket I got when I bought a season of Batman the Animated series on DVD.

The Kurt Cobain movie is most definitely not a masterpiece. Paranoid Park is better, but not a masterpiece, either.

Saw both Inherent Vice and Selma in theaters. Both were excellent, though perhaps slightly, ever so slightly disappointing. IV is brilliantly made and acted, but, for the life of me, I couldn't follow the plot. Maybe a second viewing will make me like it more. Selma is very powerful, though I think maybe it feels a…

Yes, I noticed that, too. The bowl said "the cat" did it not?

I was really digging Jess in the uniform, too.

Holy shit! I thought this show was done. What a nice surprise!

I never did see that, nor the shitty movie it inspired in the late 90s.

I'd say it does improve greatly. The first three or four episodes are decent, in a "this could get better" sort of way. The following four or so achieve goodness, and the final four are all excellent.

Yeah, what a boob punch.

I loved Zeke instantly when he wondered aloud whether the piercing booth did "nips and scrotes." I just grew up with so many people like him. Hell, I might have been Zeke as a kid myself.

I actually just saw that this past October. It's not very good (though not terrible, either).

She popped up in Bunheads. It took me a second to figure out who she was.

I wouldn't say I dislike her, but I find her incredibly overrated. She's gorgeous, so I don't mind seeing her, but she's never given anything more than an adequate performance.

It's actually my favorite of the Mann/Stewart Westerns.

Is the David Alan Grier episode the one with "Yes Indeedy, Doddly-Doo!" I loved that sketch. Also isn't there also the one where the teleprompter breaks, as well as the one where he plays whatshisname interviewing Slobodon Milosovic? Also very good.

And it would be insanely hard to actually defend. How in the Hell is 2.5 "moralizing" in any way? I think 33.333 is much weaker in the jokes department (IMO - it didn't have the ZAZ team making it, though, so it's kind of in Airplane 2 territory), but it's still fun.

One of them directed An American Carol, yes. One of them also directed High School High, too, so they definitely had a huge drop in quality (I think one of them directed Ghost, too, right?).

I say, if you liked the first two, you'll like this one fine. They're very flawed, overstuffed films, but if you can get past that they're a lot of fun.

Oh, I also forgot (and I really shouldn't have since it was by far the best thing I did all last week) that I watched all of Comedy Central's Review in a couple of days. Wow, what a brilliant, brilliant series, probably the best thing they've done on that channel since Strangers with Candy. Pancakes, Divorce, Pancakes…
