RED: Now, I'm not a man who believes in much, but that day was the day I gave up on God. I mean, why would you believe in a Supreme Being who not only lets an innocent man spend decades in prison, but who also decided to give him terminal hepatitis after Hadley's shit-encrusted baton ruptured poor Andy's bowels? Get

All my decrepit, aging peeps who still can't watch this without anticipating the "Brought to you by Dolly Madison…" bumpers that preceded the commercial breaks, give me a shoutout.

It never ever gets old. The instrumental version of Christmastime is Here is so sublime that I can hear it in July and still feel warm and happy.

January Jones in a black wig is the ONLY person who would make a good Nancy Kerrigan.

Protip: for low-flow toilets, best practice is to perform the dump, flush, wipe, and flush. Two flushes might seem like overkill and not the most conservation-friendly thing in the world, but it helps prevent plugging and has the added benefit of preserving your nostril health.

"In the Year 2000."

There are so many touches and bits of Easter egg laced into this movie that I still haven't noted it all five years after its release. It's a huge family favorite of ours, and more importantly it's far more rewatchable than some of the other increasingly hoary options out there.

A nice bit of Christmas kitsch - if you can find it, that is - is the original Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. It's an endearing and stupendously time-locked bit of 70s nostalgia that has just enough of the subversive original Jim Henson touch to it that it's not wholly saccharine.

He just wanted to keep his career fresh.

I would guess that after seeing the entire population of the planet die horribly from a rampaging virus, their callousness towards death would be pretty substantial.

I actually think that Will Forte's endgame is headed in that direction. He gave an interview recently where he said he already knows how he wants it to end, but that everything happening in between is "loosely planned." It all depends on how dark Forte is going to go. I could see an outcome where Melissa kills Todd

I tend to resist calling this show a "comedy." Siloing shows only works for something designed to be siloed, like The Big Bang Theory. For me, I agree with Will Forte when he says the show is based on "absurd realism." Funny things happen; but there are also things that happen that would absolutely happen if people

"Hanging by a threat" and "her and Todd"? Are there any actual copy editors employed by A.V. Club?

2 Man 2 Thing

Glenn was absolutely 100% a genuine nice Presbyterian Pilot, but he wasn't without his tough streak or his ambition. Wolfe described it as the "Don't fuck with me or I'll crawl you" attitude. The difference between Glenn's ambition and others' is that instead of stabbing people in the back to get his way, he just

Ehhh, I don't think that was what the astronauts didn't like. I think the root of their dislike was the general stripping away of their polished image by both the book and the movie. If you read in the book about how Life magazine sandblasted their images until they were almost totally free of any grit or flaw and

As good as The Right Stuff is as a movie, there is nothing for me that can beat The Right Stuff in book form.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man

The subtle way that the sound mix was tuned as it went on so that the mark's dialogue faded down until it was an unintelligible mish-mash with CJ's blathering was genius. I broke before Holt did, but Holt's scream was cathartic as hell.

She was only 38 when they shot the movie - I always thought she played it much older.
