Then, y'know, I would be done with the relationship. I would be so incredibly angry and upset if someone walked away from their promise to accompany me to my sister's wedding, after they knew damn well how nervous I was about it. Yes, Patrick needs to grow up, stop caring about what his mother thinks, etc etc, but

It seems like Richie is oh so perfect and patient and understanding and whatnot, but what shit has Patrick really put him through? I get that he should have been madder at Agustín for saying he was "slumming it," and it wasn't cool to put aspirations in his mouth about the hair salon, but… everybody makes little

The foundation was actually laid in the very first scene of the very first episode, where Patrick panics when his phone rings in the woods because he's convinced it's his mom and she would disapprove of what he was doing. Right from then, that one little line, you know Patrick's got some issues with regards to his

I am really loving sad Marnie this season. She was kind of iffy in season one, but my god, has she grown into the role.

I definitely saw nipple.

I love when we drop in on Hannah mid-absurd discussion. Reminds me of Season 2's cut to "I think I just feel how everyone feels, which is that I have three or four really great folk albums inside of me."

I mean, Booth Jonathan has been around since early/mid Season 1, so I think most of the show is a post-Booth-Jonathan era.

The biggest laugh for me was Cecily very subtly touching her neck during "autoerotic."

I loved that the OS in the "Me" sketch quite clearly pronounced it as "Cera-gate."

Their iTunes festival performance was pretty great, although he got very out of breath by the end of it. But their CD quality is really, really quality, so I'm a fan.

I think it's really more a joke about "What if Russia actually was like America's limited conception of it as bears and wolves and neverending winter." Thus her playing off Seth saying that the Olympics are being held at a warm resort town with a beach.

Isn't anecdotal evidence great, you guys? This 30something straight man doesn't think any of his wife's friends want to beat the shit out of gay people!

Did you read the article? This article isn't discussing what the best film of 2013 is, it wants us to discuss the trend in 2013 of having movies that grappled with our growing malaise toward the wealth-above-all endpoint of the American Dream.

I don't think this is a piece that says "Hustle" and "Wolf" are the top two Oscar contenders. It's a piece that examines a trend in American film this year, disillusionment with wealth as the be-all end-all of the American dream. It's a critical piece, not an Oscar buzz piece.

Fitzgerald totally crafted our conception of the "jazz age" of the 20s, but it's nearly impossible for us to understand now just how revolutionary, seductive, and "dangerous" jazz was at the time. As one friend put it to me, jazz in the 20s was scary black people music.

What I loved about that Lemmon 'ludes scene was the wildly differing reactions it generated in the theater. Half of the theater was absolutely HOWLING with laughter, and the other half treated it like a scene from a particularly effective horror movie, all shocked gasps and muttered "Oh no"s. It really is truly

Ah but I'm pretty sure that Spring Breakers is very well aware of the fact that it's not actually saying anything. It revels in the fact that it's not saying anything, in how hollow and meaningless all the trappings of pretension turn out to be.

Someone has probably said this in the nearly-1000 comments before me, but Britta's iPod Nano isn't pointless at all. The first season "Schmittyyyy!" episode flashed ahead to "2014, Proud Owner of an iPod Nano."

The best part about that is that Snickers and Almond Joy and whatnot are fine, but only fatties like Reese's

Queenie saying "Cracker bitch!" was pretty fun.
