"Black Books" isn't really Linehan's series. He co-wrote and directed the first series, but the primary creative force is Dylan Moran.

No, it is still much better than "Friends" ever was.

"Seinfeld" was in its third or fourth season by the time "Cheers" ended. Get your timeline straight.

Hannah Arendt was an anti-Communist ho bag.

The discussion between the writers is strange. It gives "Friends" sooooo much more credit than it deserves. That show was never edgy, or racy - no, not even for primetime network television. I also don't remember anyone taking it seriously  as some sort of glimpse into so-called Gen X culture. I think too much is…

Eric Roberts, the older brother of that actress who starred in "Mystic Pizza".

Sorry to hear that.

Shut up!

Love this movie.

Is the metaphor the basis on which you don't like this movie. If so, you sound rather humorless.

Heh heh. Worms!

Have you watched it since you were young and stupid?

I just saw this movie this evening. I was bored SHITLESS by this fucking movie. It was awful and stupid, and I can only think that Henry Miller's statement that most Americans are half retarded is in evidence not only in this franchise's popularity, but in the A.V. Club's official endorsement of it. Anyone who enjoys…

I just saw this movie. Craig J. Clark has every reason to shit on it.

In a perfect world, "MacGruber" would have made $500 million and won 12 Oscars.

You have to be pretty fucking dumb not to be interested in watching as many Orson Welles films as you can.
