Yeah, it was a C+ movie, but the setup was funny, there were some choice bits, particularly the opener, and the chemistry between Mitchell & Webb counted for a lot. Granted, I'm a fan of their work, but I still think that's an easier film to feel affection for than this one will be. Maybe because I never saw ads for…

Or like Magicians, but without Mitchell & Webb, or as funny a script, and also made 6 years later.

Vincent was great because I didn't give two squirts about the monster, which they yet managed to tie in with Vincent in a way that made the emotional core of the episode (Vincient and Pond) necessary to the mission. Plus the museum scene made me want to cry. The Brigadier's daughter was a great idea, but, aside from…

I don't get the love for this episode. The character stuff was good, but the plot was terrible. I like the idea of the cubes, but the villains using them were so dashed off. The creepy little girl was an easily switched off robot. The sucker-faced guys were never really explained (you need to kidnap lots of people to…

Well, whatever else you might throw at it, you can't say her vagina sugar coated things.

To offer counter-evidence to the cinematic nature of the scene (though I agree that adaptations have to look beyond fidelity), I've seen the play with that scene added, and it's an improvement.

A request for a future CMOTD. I am really curious about the commentary track for Atlas Shrugged, but I just can't make myself watch the movie. Could it be as awful as it is in my imagination?

The bodies of crushed enemies mixed with the lamentation of their women.

The problem with this episode is that it didn't come way earlier in the catalog of Alexander episodes. It tries to do just what you're saying you've liked about Worf episodes, Handlen, use the characters' search for their place in Klingon culture as a way to investigate and broaden them. It also puts a nice cap on the…

I refuse to acknowledge that song.
Besides: White Room, Cocaine, I Feel Free, Sunshine of Your Love, Crossroads, and motherfucking Layla.
He's allowed to suck every once in a while.

Did somebody say, "Phenomenolog"?
That's Wordwang!

I was thinking the same thing, Dogstyle. What's best about Bask-ice-ball is that eventually Marshall admits it's really just an especially violent Calvinball. Marshall tells Lily he doesn't want their kids playing the game because it's too dangerous, and she asks what the rules are, he tells her that, "There are no…

It's not anger, it's just passing contempt. Isn't that what all shitty
art and entertainment deserves, especially when the art or entertainment
itself shows such contempt for its audience?

Fucking MAY? We have to wait until summer now?
Wasn't the original play for this fall?
Damn you Steven Moffat.

No.
The answer to the question on the front page is: No, Eric Clapton and Collective Soul cannot peacefully co-exist.

For kids, I'd actually advise starting with the Aching books or maybe with The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents.Personally, I like Vimes, but it's hard to start with him since the Watch books change so drastically from Guards! Guards! to Feet of Clay (which is really the first book where Pratchett has the AP…
