Pascal's Useless Wager
"Likelihood that this will destroy us: We aren't really worried, but still… Pascal's Wager, y'know?"

Me too! I don't usually comment on the Buffy write-ups but season 5 and 6 (well, first part of season 6) are my favorite seasons.

"If the AV Club is so pissed with MacGruber, why do they have a bajillion annoying ads promoting it?"

"X-Files" was excluded from TV Club coverage last year due to lack of reader interest (or so the story goes).

Simpsons, Mr. Show, Newsradio
Hooray!

The Shining
The woman in the bathtub ("room 237"). I think that was easily the scariest scene in the movie for me and the one I couldn't get out of my brain afterwards.

Indeed. How's this for an alternative title pronunciation:

But what if in this case it turns out the Cinderella was really Keyser Soze all along?

"I'm pretty sure Another Plot Hole was being sarcastic"

That face-ripping monkey will make it in Hollywood after all!

Not even Aliens?

Why did they make that one photo-realistic ape out of leather?

"either way i'm glad hipsters aren't breeding."

It's best not think about what goes on in step 2. Knowing only makes it worse.

$3? That's cheap for some of the gourmet chocolate they sell now.

Agreed. I hated the circumstances that got him into office (the recall of Davis) and that idiotic "special election" he pushed for when he got into office but all in all he's done as well as anyone else could governing this monster of a state which has been fucked over by Prop 13.

Why do something like that? What purpose does it serve other than to make themselves look like assholes? If they're going to kill the service anyways what does it matter if people use up their credits? Are they really going to get that much extra business in iTunes?
