No, that would be "Outsourced."

To me, the emblem for this sort of theme is Applejacks commercials. Even as a kid, I was annoyed by these commercials, mostly because the adults were always giant nerds who were clearly startled and threatened by the presence of Applejacks, even though they were probably the ones who bought them.

Oh, she let it go way too fast, but I know that gutteral, directionless laugh, and that's the laugh of a salvia high.

Man, Salvia
That's some fun stuff right there. Good call on her behalf, I say.

What's with hate for "The Town"??
That was a little salty of the AVC staff. All of a sudden, it's not a good movie? Because it's not "Gone Baby Gone"?

That's too bad. Harry Shearer seems like a good enough guy.

Yeah, I was pretty happy to see a "Vampire's Kiss" picture. Just goes to show that if you give Nic Cage a script, a wardrobe rack, and a box of props, all you need to do is film him.

@Fats Pinto: no, you got that wrong. See, he didn't start the fire. It was always burning.

I'M GONNA START FIRES
I'M GONNA START FIRES ALL OVER PLACE. FUCKIN EVERYTHING WILL BE ON FIRE.

Yeah, "homo with a heart of gold" is clearly a role begging for awards.

It's also possible there was a deadline "True Grit" failed to meet. Don't know what that could be, or if it's the failing of the studio, but still.

It's shitty, but it's business. Sort of like what Scott said about "The Fighter" being more likely to appeal to a wide audience than "Black Swan." The latter is fucked the fuck up, so it's safer for a studio to test it in limited, see if it can bring in 80 grand per screen versus see if it can make 80 million overall.

You could have searched the movie times and availability online or in the newspaper. That way, you would know if and where the movie you wanted to see was playing and not show up at a random time during the second busiest movie day of the week, running the risk of sold out shows or showing up in the middle of a set

I also hate The Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick," if only for the line "Christmas comes this time each year."

Oh, God. That Mannheim Steamroller song is fucking death. It sounds like it was recorded in a Radio Shack on the display keyboard.

Who is that dude at every Guitar Center?
That one dude? Just playing fast blues riffs? Does he do anything else? Does he work there?

Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmas Time"
Might be the worst Christmas song of all time.

I got lazy about watching the video, so all I imagine is Mariah Carey singing the Veggietales Christmas song.

I liked that movie, as well.

It's like those Hyundai commercials with fucking Pomplamoose.
