But how would that have been different from Buick's perspective? Either they like the show or they didn't, it should be irrelevant to them who had the title of project manager.

This may have been the most transparently phony episode I've seen. The negative notes from Buick sound much more like notes from the producers. They didn't use enough of the team? Why should Buick care? If they hired an ad agency for this task would they complain that there weren't eight people on stage? Andretti…

Like Frank Sinatra?

The women's display looked like garbage: cluttered, tacky, and cheap. Obviously the producer's were going to pick the women here regardless. Hard to argue with George getting fired though, he was one of the more useless people on the show.

Do any of these feature heavily stylized, minimalist graphics (preferably 8-bit) with a full-quality, somber score? 'Cause I like FEELING with my jumping over shit.

So many compliments to the interviewer—it's bizarre. I'm going to choose to take them all sarcastically: "VERY astute of you!" "Oh my GOD, I could talk to you for HOURS," "Interesting question! *rolls eyes*."

Either way, Jobs had nothing do to with it other than the fact that he happened to buy them nearly a decade before they got into the feature film business, for reasons completely unrelated to their film-making aptitude. In fact, Jobs was actively trying to sell Pixar up until Disney decided to distribute Toy Story.

The Pixar thing is revisionist BS. He had nothing creatively to do with Pixar—he bought the company years prior to make graphics hardware, at which they were unsuccessful. Sure, he could have said "no" when they shifted their focus to computer animation, but that hardly makes him a great visionary. There's no reason…

Who recognized the recycled Simpsons joke before the punchline?

Yeh, I can't believe a comedic actor would stoop so lo as to "use humor" in a comedy.

" Why is he taking such an interest in the branch he ran away from as soon as he stepped foot in the place when he was hired as manager? "

I didn't catch that. I took it the other way because 1) Ron has been shown hunting with a gun and 2) Ron has been shown fishing with a pole.

"I have the toes I have."

I'm pretty sure the joke is that Ron doesn't trust Leslie with a gun after she expresses how much she'd like to shoot a gun.

Spoon's "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb" :

I would think "A Fond Farewell" would be a better choice for this list.

John Vanderslice's "Dead Slate Pacific" wants to be on this list.

The trailer
The trailer really makes this look like a Coen brothers movie.

If you watch the video above, the idea that lemmings commit mass suicide is introduced as a "legend." The narrator explains that their intent is not to kill themselves, but to cross the water.

I enjoy Noel's recaps and I didn't read this thread so I'm not defending anyone or any point—but it's absolutely true that you can't come to TV club expecting an honest critical appraisal of the episode from the post or the comments. The writers never criticize a show they like without immediately apologizing for it. …
