Coffee and sexism is for closers.

To borrow a phrase, God, I hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, hated, HATED this movie.

Also to be fair, GI Joe 2 was supposed to come out last year, so the divide between "quality movie year" and "paycheck year" was a coincidence. 

But was it any good?

I'm trying to decide if this was funnier when Futurama gave us the ribald hijinx of Robot House, or when Homer had to teach his nerdy roommates how to party and alienate the dean when he went back to college.

I never understood why this movie flopped.  The audience for vanity projects is fickle — we frequently don't seem to mind insufferable smugness in celebrities like Willis, but somehow one day the chemistry just seems off.

This story makes even less sense if you read it, as I did, initially mistakenly believing it was about comments made by the drummer for the Black-Eyed Peas.

Well, here we are, half a week and 2300 comments later, and I'm sure people have just been WAITING for my take.

Interesting, but I'm not convinced.  In the episodes where we've seen his family, his rivalry with his brother, the horrible way his parents treat him, and his genuine feelings of sadness and inadequacy — I think we were meant to sympathize with him there.  The fact is, the show managed to take Michael Scott and turn…

I think the public's taste for movies about how, yeah, this thing happened, and then this guy had these incredible powers, but then, it was like, maybe it would be better if he didn't actually have those powers, or maybe his life would be easier if he didn't USE those powers, but then, yeah, by the end, he totally…

This movie does a decent job of summing up the problem I have with both Ben Stiller and Russell Brand:  they frequently play preening, vain good-looking guys ostensibly to mock the vanity and general stupidity of the good-looking, but every fiber of their performance screams "Damn, I really am good-looking, though."

I remember my high school principal, who really wanted to "connect with the young people," taught a class on (essentially) kids growing up and facing the world, which mostly amounted to him showing movies that most of the students didn't appreciate and long monologues that were kinda awkward.

I love this movie, though it makes me extraordinarily uncomfortable.  I'm not sure if it's because I want poor Tom to get away with it and he doesn't, or because of how devastating the final scene is, or because I keep suspecting that somehow the events of hte last scene could have been avoided — or it just may be…

AH, yes.  If we can debate the end of Sopranos years later, we can also debate Skylar even when no BB is being shown.

The shot of all Dwight's friends in the conference room was pretty funny.  Other than that, these eps had moments that made me smile a bit, but they were a step down for this season.

BANJO!

Agreed, Go is very enjoyable.  My wife and I quote "I'm not delusional, Zack!" along with "It's a different company, it's a different quality of product" pretty often.  That whole segment alone is priceless.

Grade bitching IS pointless.  Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the rebel base by the time this station is operational.  We willl then crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke!
