Oh, hey, it's Creative Bankruptcy Week at the A.V. Club!

Oh man, this. The dissonance between this and, essentially, the entire front page of the site is delicious like sweet ambrosia,

You can get the bends if you come up from your diving Belzer too fast.

"Everybody Loves Borscht." Ah, the high-brow, original comedy that one simply cannot develop at a slackjawed, pig ignorant state school.

Oh, I get it. You're supposed to be like Bruce Vilanch. That's very clever.

There's something about a startled Woody Allen saying it that makes that statement hilarious.

Least sexy come-on ever.

I will always remember her for her surprisingly great turn in the insane, yet underrated, "Southland Tales."

"Because you really look like he-"

It's Jordan Prentice. The little fella in "In Bruges" is Jordan Prentice.

And Die Harder was based on a book, believe it or not.

Why, would it be about the time her and George McGovern tried to run for president in 1972?

So if you noticed that, why post it anyway? Or is that unnecessarily observant of me?

No! Not only does that dog entirely bite it, but there's no completely retarded toe v. sledgehammer action either. And the ending makes more sense. And Bronson is just a woman's voice on a phone. And Devane gets more screen time. And there's no out-of-place Bronson's son kidnap plot. In that regard, it's way better.

Additional correction: Payback was actually pretty good. The re-cut version in particular.

Wes, that is EXACTLY the way I was introduced to it too. Crowded into a dorm room, copious booze, and without any kind of preamble, BOOM, Freeway. Afterward, I was in a blissed-out stupor, unable to wrap my head around the idea that what I just was an actual movie, and not some kind of kick-ass fever dream.

The Italian looking fella. He's Virgil on "Homeland" now, and he played a cop on "The Shield" for the last couple of seasons.

I'm not entirely sure it's all that pronounced, generally speaking. Tintin hits it a little hard, but good god Ellen practically tucks her chin into her neck when she hits the second syllable.
