Then there's Alicia Coppola, not related but she will probably start her own stable of off-brand Coppolas.

As long as it's not a slideshow I'm cool with it. Also I just watched a Law & Order: CI rerun with Pablo Schreiber last night and was wondering if he was related, but didn't find it credible enough to go to IMDB (and I check IMDB during 2/3 of Law & Order reruns).

The Foo Fighters are Nickleback for people who lack the self-confidence to admit they like Nickleback.

I don't even know where to buy meat now that The Sharper Image is closed.

Come to think of it, Wits is pretty good. I forgot about that one.

I used to like it OK, ten or so years ago. I don't like any of the shows they have in that format particularly but the new one out of New York with Jonathan Coulton is by far the worst. Whad'ya Know is an improvement over West Coast Live, Wait Wait is not very good but sometimes has Bobcat Goldthwait.

As a kid I liked the humor bits, as an adult I often like the musical guests but I'm mostly over the humor (the essays remain better than the skits, if they're a bit over-familiar by now) and I can't stand his singing.

But it makes sense that if the way you enjoy Star Wars is by spending years of your life exploring every bit of trivia in the belief that it all adds up to a coherent and interesting story that the prequels give you a lot more material to do that with. If your interest is in going to the theater and having fun…

If she were a magazine publisher maybe. I don't think you generally win trademark actions in areas where you're not competing.

"Made me miss Fringe", that's a phrase that only makes sense if you're being sarcastic and saying The Flash is even worse than Fringe, and while it is a fucking terrible show it's not nearly that bad.

Grant Gustin is not among the 1000 best actors on TV and the Emmys aren't voted on by the dumbest .5% of the population, i.e., Flash fans.

I don't like this show much at all but she's close to being my favorite thing on it. The worst are Cisco and quivery-lip scientist girl, but Barry sucks and Ed sucks and not-Jamie Bamber sucks. Basically Jesse L. Martin and Wentworth Miller are good and Candice Patton is crazy beautiful and then there's CGI.

Honestly I thought it was funny the way she basically had a superpower where she everybody she interacted with wanted desperately to fuck her, so gave her whatever she wanted. That was a big part of why I got into the show but it was also a big reason why I never took it seriously. Archi Panjabi's great, probably, but…

I like movies from the 50s and 60s that are unapologetically stagey. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, The Seven Year Itch, etc. Ironically I can't stand how all of Joss Whedon or Aaron Sorkin's characters speak in the same voice but if it's Debbie Reynolds in black & white I eat it up.

I'm not about to count the words but I think both Shazam and Isis would be near the top of this ranking.

I sort of think it's Jensen Karp except it's so much funnier than anything else he does. But they seem to correlate a lot. Maybe it's just that he spends so much time on Twitter

I've only just recently noticed the backlash against this show and I can't quite relate but you seem to suggest that it's driven by people who wish The Walking Dead were more like A Canticle for Leibowitz-meets-Deadwood. I'm in that camp too but I enjoy watching MacGruber act like an ass.

Yeah, I've seen what an artist's ASCAP statements look like, Santana's (20 years ago) is about 20 pages and he makes a lot of money from two of those songs and less than a dollar from the rest. I imagine it's a lot shorter now but he still gets money from radio. Does the new revenue from Spotify make up for the…

Yeah but Black Mirror is from 2013. Does the 2014 Christmas special make them eligible? That kind of seems like bullshit.

I hope they have a sub-plot about minidiscs.
