I graduated from university, and less than a week out of graduation I got hired at a job relevant to my specialized degree at a very prestigious organization (the CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).

Went a little crazy in the classics section of a cool bookshop: bought copies of Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, Ballard's Crash, Thomas Mann's Death in Venice and Other Stories and The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker.

Too morally ambiguous.

What a strange little episode this was. Very much like the first two seasons. I enjoy Adventure Time's surreal little excursions like this, it's nice that AT hasn't gotten too wrapped up in only doing backstory episodes. 

I had deep fried alligator in the States once, and it was pretty meh. Bison, however, is absolutely delicious and would be a staple of my diet if it wasn't so pricey.

You're fine with 2 Chainz? You monster!

They opened a new wing in my high school when I was in Grade 10 or so that was completely windowless - well, there were windows that looked out onto the Science Park. But everything was lit by bright, bright fluorescent. It was hellish.

That was really pushing my buttons as both a Habs fan and someone who can't stand dirty hockey. Disgraceful game, the Habs need to get their shit together soon or Ottawa will deserve to win the series.

Persona is fantastic, but when I first saw it it was hard to separate the film itself from everything it's influenced: Mulholland Drive, every De Palma movie…

@avclub-6dfb04136529fba8a8b870b91b59f8e6:disqus , you got lost in my sea of sarcasm, I'm afraid. I agree with you 100%.

Today in humanizing David Spade: his reaction to Chris Farley's death, which is detailed in that oral history of SNL, is absolutely gutwrenchingly sad. 

Snickers to co-produce the new David Milch series with Bing.

Walk Hard is on Crackle?

This is fitting, as Crackle is terrible. 

My parents had to stop watching it because they found it too disturbing. I asked if they meant the writing and they didn't know what I was talking about. 

I don't know, I felt it came too soon after a related skull-fucking incident. But maybe I'm just being sensitive.

Yeah, I actually tend to gleam at least something from the "For Our Consideration", but the Tyler Perry one was excellent across the board. I didn't agree with the conclusions, necessarily, but it was really well-written and raised good points on race and criticism. 

It reminds me a little of that bit on The West Wing where Bartlett gets a pre-1940s map of the Middle East:
"You can't hang that up, there's no Israel."
"Israel didn't exist, then."
"I know that. You can't hang it up."
"Why not?"
"There's no Israel."

People are being real dicks to you

Criticize away, a bunch of people here are debating the merits or lack thereof of this show/the episode and it's all Peachy Keen (tm).
