Fuck you, asshat!

Beavis and Butthead just does not hold up, even if you fast forward through the music videos.

At least they mentioned The Oblongs.

South Park is, really, just not that good. I mean, average up all the episodes and you get a sub-mediocrity. Not even counting all 26 seasons of The Simpsons would you get an average anywhere near as low. We all just remember the good episodes and the good gags. There's so much garbage there.

You thrust your pelvis, HUH!

I'd say it's a little too soon.

Also Aeon Flux, but I definitely would have gone for Avatar. I don't think any action cartoon from anywhere has been anywhere near as good.

I got about five episodes in. I don't know how.

And once again the mall becomes my Waterloo…

Nah, but it's not as good as Adventure Time or Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I used to own that VHS, too, but I was always disappointed that it was edited. I want a complete series DVD/Blu Ray, but I doubt that'll ever happen at this point. At least we got Aeon Flux on DVD.

I think the quality actually dropped significantly with the HD episodes, mostly because of the weird four act structure.

Ha ha ha, oh my God, I've never heard the "Simpsons doesn't exist after Season 9" joke before. I mean, how do you come up with this shit? Oh my fucking God! Someone give this guy a job!

I'm a big defender of mid-period Simpsons (with the HD era being late-period at this point), but pretty much all of the Sideshow Bob episodes after this one are among the worst of the series. I kind of like the one where John Mahowney joins as the father, but, at best, it's a mediocre episode.

Hulu Plus just put all the Demy films on streaming, as well as four other films that are not in the set, including Varda's film about Demy's childhood.

I love Funny Games personally, but its fourth wall breaking is annoying. The film is a punishing enough thriller without Haneke turning to the camera telling us what he's trying to say.

I pretty much avoided it entirely after they made you play the first time. Apparently, many of the best items in the game were only attainable this way, but I couldn't give a shit for how much I hated Blitzball (like I hated all the stupid card games starting with FFVIII).

This is wrong and a very one-dimensional view of his work. Of course, if you're talking about Funny Games, you're mostly right (I never bothered with the English language version, either).

Cache is his best film (although I'd also put Code Unknown at the same level, which is also a very complex film, come to think of it).

I liked Killing Them Softly more than most, but I agree with others that the political "subtext" felt heavy-handed and almost like it didn't even really belong. I thought Pitt was excellent and I appreciated the brutality of the violence. The film was still a massive disappointment after The Assassination of Jesse
