It's so, so stupid. I watched it as a kid and thought, "Oh my god, this is so, so stupid."

I think his point has to do with the media exposure at the ground level in Vietnam, which was constant, graphic and plentiful. He probably could have said it better, but I don't think he's saying "Americans hadn't been in war": American soldiers certainly knew what war was. But if you didn't actually fight in those…

Boob armor is just two steps toward a Dalek encasement, anyway.

My understanding is that this is basically intentional. You want dumb and indiscriminate gullible people to go to step two in your scam, not people with common sense.

The seasonal eggs or trees have the right ratio

A reaction against a song being "overplayed" is almost inevitable because you have a lot of control over what you listen to. And why would you repeatedly play a song you dislike? So it has to be something pretty popular and with some ubiquity. I certainly hate some nearly-anonymous track I heard part of once and then…

Wow, hippies, frat boys *and* skaters? You're right, that's totally *everyone* and none of those people are ever douchebags.

To me, a sax (I played alto) is like a mid-80s synth. The cheese factor makes it enormously dangerous and tricky to deploy effectively. The ruin-to-benefit ratio skyrockets as you take it away from its time and place.

No, the bullet isn't relevant to that.

No, I got you, I just think those sequences worked okay on their own.

I'm very not familiar with the comic books and I never felt lost or confused, or like I wasn't picking up on Luthor's manipulations, for what it's worth.

I think people should carefully consider your context—that you liked Man of Steel, which actually was terrible, joyless and nonsensical—when evaluating your "It stinks!" reaction.

I really didn't like Man of Steel, I was okay with 300 in a "That was pretty good over-the-top pulp, now never do that again" way, and another commenter's description of the movie Watchmen—"faithfully butchered "—is about right.

I really liked Alex Borstein's stand-up, and I've liked her off and on as an actress a lot, but some of the MadTV stuff was sort of inexplicable, as is her dedication to Seth MacFarlane. She seems like a really talented comedian with not very good taste, and that might describe a chunk of MadTV alums.

That's why I've switched to "lighten up."

I took it to be a temperature.

Ours is a combination magic shop, sex toys, porn vids, costumes, and weed paraphernalia. And it's a chain.

I'm a little bit into this episode, and while I'm not a Chopper fan I think this review is overly harsh. In particular, the whole team is utter dicks to Chopper, whose leg ask is pretty reasonable. They could at least have been tactful.

I put my beer in my risotto.

Jimmy could have kept the councilman's embezzled fortune and let them swing. He went through a fair amount of trouble to do the right thing, even when they were actively hostile to it. His corruption is certainly there, but of a venial kind. He's a con man, and like most con men is stealing from people who themselves…
