Courtney Love is to mental illnesses as Mr. Burns is to physical illnesses.

The Secret Circle drinking game: every time a character suddenly gets a brain and utters a line that lampshades some other character being stupid, naive, gullible, reckless, boring, or just plain inconsistent, take a drink.

Great episode, not much to add.

This was hilarious, in the Louis-CK-explicated sense: as I experienced this… thing… I lost my ability to cope and reason. I fully expect to walk to my bedroom only to discover that three months have passed and that I have leaves and shit in my hair and am covered in pee.

What bothers me is that Moore's characters, which, yes, were clearly meant to reference Batman and Superman and whatnot, existed primarily as commentary, and secondarily as delivery mechanisms for more commentary.

How about we pause for a moment and think about what "all Americans" are responsible for, that's happened, say, in the past decade, before getting up in the business of a German whose parents were jointly-and-severally liable for the Holocaust? I feel like maybe that would be both more fair and more productive.

Well, right, and one such way is to purchase that music directly from the artist, which usually means buying from them at a gig, or paying to see them play a gig, or - in some edge cases - buying associated merch to indirectly support their music because they don't have any of your aforementioned "good quality" music…

If you are a celebrity and you look like some random person that might ever set foot in a supermarket to buy their own (or their family's) groceries, then you have risen above your station, and have therefore officially won at life.

Clone etiquette is a growth industry.

You know what's really cool? Paying people who create music instead of paying monopolies that create misery. I'd wager a fair number of people who flippantly talk about pirating music are only being flippant because they've lost the will to buzzkill-drone for the thousandth time about why purchasing a CD at Target or…

For some fun lawsuits, let's go with "Judging Judy," as a title, with a pilot episode entitled "Arrested in the Developments."

Wait, I had something for this…

Cool parents vibe or not, I'd love to see Peter's version of "get off my lawn" (which I guess might not involve an actual lawn.) It would own.

My response was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and I appreciate your critique of the show. I don't think the show is making any sort of a clever commentary about the relative abilities/intellect of Neal, Peter, and Mozzie. Still, I like to think of Mozzie as being the smartest of the bunch, and in a league of criminals…

Well, Mozzie is the superior criminal in virtually every way.

It is possible to care about a lack of authenticity when the music isn't good, and not be a hypocrite for not caring about it when the music is good.

Nah, but the odds that Kate Winslet's tits will somehow appear in this movie actually just went up.

If I were a werewolf, I'd get my kicks by voluntarily committing myself to a different mental hospital once a month, claiming that I'm having recurrent delusions that I'm actually a werewolf, and would very much like to attend an evening group therapy session during the full moon for "support."

I would recommend hating all of the things, and then slowly, cautiously, and methodically moving things off of that list one-by-one.

So wait, there was a debate about her authenticity? Who was on the other side of that debate? The old, rotting devil whose dick she agreed to suck in exchange for the hollow trappings of a childish fantasy, because that was part of the deal?
