I believe Nick Wiger said it was canned because of his own ineptitude as a writer. Classic Burger Boy!

At any point those horn blasts could turn into a gunshot and I would have been okay with it.

It always amazes me when the TriStar logo randomly shows up at the start of movies. It feels like they produce one film every five years.

I remember seeing "Jumper" in the theater and thinking what an awful movie it was from the beginning, mainly because the main character was such a chode and Hayden Christensen made it worse.

It answers the burning question - "Hey, whatever happened to Mena Suvari?"

Dan Harmon likes endings? But "Community" was the show that went on and on and likely would have continued if Yahoo Screen didn't go down in flames.

If they would put that as a pull-quote on the Blu-Ray, I would definitely think about renting it.

I remember in 2007, when "Next" came out, the movie where Nicolas Cage could see two minutes into the future, a guy I worked with said "You gotta see this! It's the sleeper hit of the year."

Yeah, it's hard to take a step back when you've already fallen off the cliff.

"The X-Files" came pretty damn close. The hype for that was huge. By the end, people seem to be reminded why it went away.

Yeah, he always felt like he was working the Aries Spears angle - his impressions are great, but where are the jokes?

I still surprised that people are still surprised that people watch "SNL." They almost consistently have sketches that go viral, have cast-members that go on to do big things, etc. They're not really a defining voice in comedy, but they're still a great comedy farm league.

That's true. That, and the Hilary Vs. Obama "There Can Only Be One" NBA commercial parody were both great.

That's what I'm saying - Both Meadows and Killam were both the reliable guy, regardless of the sketch.

But his films are well-received by the public and critics, so the criticism doesn't really make sense. He can do both well and will likely continue to dabble in both formats.

That's my opinion to a T.

I enjoyed that it deviated from the usual Apatow formula of having fairly affluent characters complaining about their problems to having Wiig's character, who's living in a fairly shitty place, driving a bad car and having her one dream completely fail. I felt for her more than most comedic characters because of that.

"Silent Trigger" sounds great and even more timely, considering I just got done listening to "How Did This Get Made"'s discussion on "The Shadow," which its mini-episode features an interview with Russell Mulcahy where it sounds like he's eight pints in and chewing on a full package of Skittles.

Concurred. That, and to a lesser extent, "Yourself and Someone Like You" and even Hootie's first album, all had this kind of lack of sheen to it that you could see and hear the bands playing these super earnest, jangly pop songs at their local dive bar and somehow, they hit the lottery and made it big. CC was the best

I was more surprised to hear that Leslie Jones is nearing 50.
