should've asked her if she believes in conquistador tree-people
Yowza, what a terrible episode that was.

no mention of his work on "wainy days"?
He was in a bunch of those and wrote some, iirc. Great stuff.

Where does one read about Gordon's dissatisfaction with his contestant pool?
I'd love to hear more about this, as my friend and I are wondering why the idiot psychos this season were the best Fox could come up with. It seems like you don't need to even be a chef anymore, students, caterers, electricians… Hell, a…

He undoubtedly will graduate from life…
WITH HONORS!!

How long until the fluke man?
That would've been creepy and scary even in an "R" rated movie, let alone on TV.

Paul McCartney's "FREEDOM"
Such a poor hamfisted attempt surely belongs on this list. And I say this as a diehard Macca fan.

Boundin' was a pet project by legend Bud Luckey…
…and is flawless. I can't believe you had a problem with it. It was also the first Pixar short to have dialogue, I think. You have to watch it a few times for it to click completely for you. I remember being a bit underwhelmed the first time I saw it, but now it…

Yeah, Alfred Molina deserves to be near the top of this list.

He's just a caveman, he slipped into some ice and was later thawed out by scientists. Our modern world frightens and confuses him.

Since when do network execs think they can be the talent? Didn't Jeff Zucker's horrible opener on NBC must see Thursday already prove this to be a bad idea?

For the record, I don't care in the last about Jen and Zoi. My question was meant to be a bit more broad as to what the AVC writers felt was good prep for TV reviews, what sources and research they did or didn't do, and their overall philosophy of how to tackle a TV review.

Internet Rumors and Scott's role
You know, it's funny that you mentioned that, Scott, but I've noticed in general that the AVC recaps seem to avoid internet rumors and speculation. They do give some basic history when necessary, and are often peppered with personal anecdotes, but are largely devoid of what I'd call…

Andy Cohen Crosseyed?
Man, it sure seemed it. Creeped me out with those googly peepers boring through my screen. Also, he seemed a bit of a tool, trying to provoke folks to anger or embarassment.

I will not abide the trashing of mix-tapes. My two favorite masterpieces were:

If you watched RENT, you'd know that shitty rock songs don't cure AIDS, they just make you really happy about dying from AIDS or something like that. Plus when you go to heaven you get a tentpole musical number, which is actually what I've suspected for some time now.

I'm full of sadness that my thread was not the original of this topic. I assure all my loyal readers that this redundancy was completely unintentional, and that the higher, earlier thread was not on my screen when I hit the enter key. You may all now resume your painstaking deconstruction of pop culture.

Remember those experimental flavor Doritos that tasted like mcdonald's hamburgers?
They were out in special black bags about a year or so ago. I thought they were great, but I guess they didn't catch on.

Bring on the Bitchlorette! I can't wait to hear about how hard it is to find true love in this big crazy world.

I know the twist, and it's completely stupid
I read a spoiler by accident a few weeks ago, and for the first time in my life, I am GLAD. I was planning to see the movie and now I won't, and this is a good thing. What a stupid, stupid, twist.

The weird thing, and maybe this is revisionism, is that when I look back and watch the original Star Wars films, I find Carrie Fisher to be horse-faced and completely unattractive. Is it because I've seen the creature she aged into? Is it because my standards of beauty have aged over time? I'm not really sure, but…
