Actually, I think Ben Affleck walked away with that shitburger. I was expecting good things from Bateman at the time (this was just post-AD), and while he delivered, it was Affleck who completely surprised me. Also, the remaining 94% of the movie was fucking terrible,

The only bit I saw repeated in the entire special was the bit about women wanting to cuddle after sex because men don't even come close to getting them off during it. And when I saw him try out some new stuff at the Largo a few months ago, the only bits I recognized were the Tom Sawyer / Huck Finn stuff and the bit

"I’d argue the only artist who’s achieved it in the last two decades is Mariah Carey with “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

Objectivist's Comment Response:

"I Liked it Better…" didn't do as much for me as "Sycamore" or "The Spade" (which I think are in dead heat for his best work) but I agree there's a definite Ryan Adams vibe that he's been building over the years now. No complaint here.

It's nice to see Butch Walker getting some love here, although I'd say he's less of a trend-chaser and more of a genre junkie (when in the past two decades was alt-country glam-rock a big deal)? I'll throw in Beastie Boys, Mastodon, Fucked Up, and Ghostface's review of Take Care in there as well.

Yup.
Drake, the new "Anointed Rapper I Don't Get."

However, the Jason-Statham-deflects-a-rocket-with-a-pizza-pan scene was only to be found in the "Transporter" trailer, and was removed from the actual movie. I was so disappointed I think I may have almost thrown up.

This is what I love about Armond White. He gathers fans because of the reviews where he takes down an overrated movie like "Dark Knight" or "Iron Man," but loses them just as fast when he starts rambling on about the merits of total shit like "Grown Ups."

Adele's next album can be covers of Eminem's "Recovery" titled "ReCOVERy."

I just watched Arthur on streaming last night. And I couldn't stop thinking about that old actor's trick, about making your character pretend they're not drunk in order to bring out their true drunkenness. And Dudley Moore launches so wildly in the other direction from that, yet still pulls it off.

I always felt that Universal took a look at the talent involved with certain projects, and decided they couldn't lose…rather than take a look at the actual script.

My parents were huge Law and Order junkies. These days, it's Daily Show, Colbert Report, and sleep.

AWESOME-O

My vote goes to the General from the 1-800-GENERAL auto insurance ads.

While the sentiment behind this book is admirable, the image I have of an artfully bearded man and his stern-looking professor wife reading this book to their child in a fabulous NYC high-rise makes me violently ill.

However, I feel that if you're going to go the "We're all so super-cool because we did bad stuff, hurrrrrr" route with your tell-all book, it's best if you really are the most fucked-up, inhumane, horrifically id-driven collection of terrible people ever. Aka Motley Crue, Aka "The Dirt."

Season 3 gave us "WHY AM I NOT GOING UNDERWATER?!!??!" so that makes it a rousing success in my opinion.

Oh man, if you ever find yourselves in Los Angeles, your first stop has to be Roscoe's Chicken 'n' Waffles. There's a huge line in the mornings on weekends, but it  frees up around midday.

The ending to "The Shield" would like to have a word with you.
