Coincidence? Running joke amongst the writers? Coincidence turned into running joke?

Oh man, does Amy Adams ever get the shitty end of the bargain in Man of Steel. She doesn't even begin to engage with the material because she knows what a worthless adaptation of Lois it is.

Spring Breakers is only, I repeat, ONLY enjoyable when viewed in a theater with no more than 8 other people in it. The "wrongness" of this material being made into a movie, and put in movie theaters, gives it an electric jolt. Particularly the Britney Spears scene, but there you go, I've already said too much.

My girlfriend LOVED it. I think it was a way of apologizing to the 20-something girls dragged to the theater by their boyfriends so they'd leave the theater without their arms folded in total boredom.

Agreed. The self-indulgent "this is a celebrity talking to another celebrity about things" shit was cute, a little, during the opening party scenes. It gets great pretty much as soon as the apocalypse happens, though.

Honestly, me too. It seemed like the kind of movie I'd enjoy while being in the minority, since I like most everything these guys do. Few people can actually tolerate this meta, aren't-we-celebrities-having-fun-now pandering stuff (see the last 40 minutes of "Ocean's 12"). Glad to hear about the raves it's getting.

It's a combination of U2, Eminem, and Matt Taibbi who saved rock n roll.

Rabin would've given this a straight A.

I like how the interviewer comes right back at Madrigal with a story about how Macklemore, too, grew up poor and had to shop at Goodwill, and the correct response is "okay fine, but this shit is really overplayed."

They truly are the bannermen of Comedy-Rock, though admittedly their setlist is 70% hair metal covers, so perhaps that means they don't qualify.

After spending an Autumn in London, and seeing ads for every major British stand-up plastered on the tube, I wasn't sure which of them were legitimately funny and which were the UK equivalent of Dane Cook. But I'll check Stewart Lee out.

Yeah, admitting attraction to characters playing underage girls in a show marketed to mega-underage girls makes one feel icky and gross, and it's tough to deny since Victoria Justice is clearly a supermodel.

Yeah I came across that song on a YouTube ad, and who can tell how much it's been fucked with in the studio - but if not, she's actually a pretty fantastic singer. Oh well, more power to her.

My friends, the BriTANicK guys, are in this movie too! As the First and Second Watchmen.

The reviews coming in have definitely surprised me, I'll say that.

No one is older in and more in high school than Gabrielle Carteris.

The directors behind 21 Jump Street are pretty funny. They pulled off a highwire act there, making that movie a very enjoyable rental.

The early 90's were precisely like the late 80's. Not even the slightest bit of difference. Eventually the 90's found their footing with grunge and new politics and plaid and all that.

I heard that there was an incredibly funny table read of this at SxSW or something, back when it was called The Hand Job. After watching this predictable, laughless trailer, I fear this may have just been funnier for people to imagine in their heads.

It just has to be used well. Big Lebowski gets away with saying a ton of cuss words, because it just sounds loose, natural and unforced coming from those characters and those actors.
