Where the hell are we?
Where is this picnic taking place? Michael and Pam had to go on a multi-day tour to visit each site yet people are driving in to a single location from Buffalo, Utica and Nashua? I don't know why this one point bugged me but it just took me out of the episode.

A check so fat that when you fuck it, you have to roll it in flour to find the wet spot.

Cat Party is so 6 months ago. It's all about Dog Party now. Boosh.

Sashi, I think that Michael is very much like Leslie when you say "she's fundamentally competent and driven to do the job she's supposed to to, but her optimism causes her to commit to actions outside the scope of her position". Michael has been shown repeatedly to be talented at his original job (sales) but has been…

My friends are bemused by the fact that I consider Life/Emmerdale one of the best pop albums of the 90's. It seems cloyingly sweet on the surface, but the production work is amazing and the lyrics are surprisingly melancholy to anyone who bothers listening to them.

It's made from monkey cum…
and that ditty is better in the original Croatian.

Gretchen Mol has surprisingly been the best actor on the show every week, and none of the other regulars even come close. Watching Annie deal with Sam is pretty much the only reason I watch (other than misplaced devotion to the British orginal). She feels like the only character that isn't a cardboard cutout from a…

Sarah Chalke, antique telephones, the Brampton blowfish,

The show got lighter and trippier as it went on. I don't hate the Thorson episodes that much - it's just a much different vibe than the classic Peel era and it's a much more playful relationship between the agents. Steed always comes off like a bemused father with Tara.

You are number six. It says so right on our jackets.

Emma Peel is undeniably awesome, but Cathy Gale would have eaten her for breakfast. Rigg had the longer run, but Honor Blackman did it first.

Nabin was quoting "Do The Meth", the name of the pamphlet Spaceman gave Jenna when she was looking for ways to lose weight last season. She eventually went with the Japanese paper diet.

Despite all of this show's flaws, it's been full of good non-overused period music.

Plus, I think you're confusing "can't" with "won't". Most of those items are within his authority, but if he did them, he'd be an autocrat and a dick to boot. He could ban JD's personal coach (it would be within his power) but he would alienate JD and that's not something he wants to risk. He could throw the…

Sunrise Ghettoplex in Valley Stream is one of the theaters I went to ask a kid (grew up in Springfield Gardens before moving to Brooklyn) and the weapons in the bushes are no joke. It was a huge open secret.

Grindhouse would be one of my best film experiences too. Saw it midnight opening at the multiplex in Union Square with all the NYU kids. Packed theatre and a great crowd to see that kind of film with. I doubt there were 20 people there not drunk or stoned.

My intro to anime
was one mentioned on Wikipedia as "one of the first anime series brought to the Western market. It has had a profound impact in Japanese animation and manga and has become a benchmark and a cornerstone of the industry ever since."

I love them both, but I still think Pauline is the harder character. Juliet is so outsized from the jump (she' s 'special' and dramatic because her parents don't pay attention to her). Pauline is more of the slow burn (she's plain and dull - her parents dote on her but they just don't 'get' her in a really…

I always thought Lynskey did more with a tougher part and yet all the praise went to Winslet (who is amazing in the film). I guess she lost that momentum by going back to finish high school. She's a great actress now stuck doing guest spots on Psych and starring in summer series even Fox doesn't bother to air to…

I can still hear him now, "Who left the cap off MY FUCKING GLISTEN!"
