"Considered by many" Who? Passive voice!
Is Some Like It Hot really a Rom/Com? I thought it was a screwball dressed in gangster film's clothes. Also, it came out in 1959!

Moonstruck also.

I generally agree with Todd that the hug-it-out, wrap a bow on the bottle of arsenic tendency of the show can be grating. However, tonight I think the ending was deliberately cheese-ball, hug it out. The implication was that Jeff had made it back to his reality, but that reality is still tv sitcom reality.

Yeah, he did have a bong in his hand.

Let me guess… the jokes were about how Amy Poehler's character really commits to whatever mundane task she's doing, and Ron Swanson was probs like "boy the government sure is lame, isn't it ironic that I'm a libertarian government worker." And Aubrey Plaza rolled her eyes and sighed heavily while her husband said

Anybody get a Mary Louise Parker in Weeds vibe from Britta in this episode? Anyone? Anyone?

I think that Paradigms of Human Memory pretty much dispensed with the
idea that we would know everything about these characters by watching
somewhere between 6 and 12 hours of their lives over the course of a
year. She probably discussed it in the other 365 X 24 - 12 hours of her
life not depicted for us.

Yeah. It's not very good. It also constrains her as a comedian, because a lot of her humor is derived from her deadpan delivery. That delivery is really hampered by the bad accent, as if she is working so hard at perfecting the accent that she cannot deliver the comedic impact.

He's ripping off that Billy Shakespeare guy. The same thing happened to Hamlet and his pals off-screen.

A-

I thought this was actually better than the two previous episodes, which were two freighted down with the need to handle the cast exits and strained a bit too hard for emotional payoff that they didn't really earn, while reminding us of older, better episodes. I felt that Abed sans Troy (2.0) liberated the character.

Actually, season six is when the show gets cancelled because everybody grows steadily more disenchanted with it, and it is only when they cobble everyone together for a movie that everyone realizes how much they'll miss it.

I wasn't in love with this episode, because it felt like a retread of other theme episodes, and I found the end mawkish and/or twee, like the shadow puppet production at the end of Annie's move or the friendship hat. But the more I thought about it, the more I liked it, in that the retreads were appropriate for a

Apologies if something like this has already been stated. Death is usually reduced in procedurals to entertainment: a necessary first motion to begin the clockworks of the investigation, and the visceral and vicarious thrill of watching a victim die, in which we can simultaneously experience the base and prurient

I wanted to hear about the cameo in Nashville.  It's such a quintessential Altman moment, where the line between reality and the movie blurs so seamlessly.  Overall, though, great stuff. 

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there.

Oh I'm not saying he wasn't capable of doing good things, but I think he was pretty fundamentally amoral.  He did what he felt like doing, regardless of any moral consideration or the way that it would be socially perceived. 

I go with Tests and Breasts too.
