103 new movies, as in movies that were released in 2012?  Or 103 movies that were new to you, from any year?  Or 103 movies total, both that you'd seen before and that you hadn't, from any year?

Hey, I bought a copy of Never Mind the Pollacks!  It was even "new."  Well, actually, it was a remaindered copy selling for one dollar in a bargain bin at one of those remaindered books liquidators which was just a big warehouse full of coffee table photo-books about, like, antique ball point pens or whatever that no

"Printing that Foodfight! has a “clever script” ranks among The New York Times’ worst transgressions. "

Has anyone noticed that whenever the camera switches perspective when they're sitting around a table, there's usually something weird going on with someone's seating position?  It's not just a continuity error, it's a weird approach to shot-reverse-shot.  There was a good example in this episode, when they're sitting

I think they're bad all the time.  Not wrong, bad.  They just shouldn't have them.

"Thanks for reading this far in spite of the fact that the name at the top of this review isn’t Todd"

"whether or not the Sauniere manuscript would've contained info on the Talismans"

If you're not watching these shows, you are literally wasting your life.  Same goes for if you haven't watched The Wire and The Sopranos.  You are dead.  You may be still walking around and breathing, but your existence is null.  What's what, you spent last night having mind-blowing sex with the love of your life on

Hey, when is this Superbowl going to be on television?  I can't wait to watch it.

"January 1928, the same month that Trotsky was exiled from the Soviet Union."

Well what I think of the plan is he should bring the movie to San Diego, where I live.  Nashville and Tucson get it but not me?

Yeah, pretty much.  I imagine this one will start off with an interesting premise, meander around for a while, then end just as what in a better movie would be the plot gets going.

I don't think it was a joke.  I think it was intended seriously, but with a layer of self-protective irony-teflon.

"It seems weird to think that we should rely on a comedian to tell us how to save our country."

This is good.  Too often, people are afraid to say on the record that they don't like some person or cultural product (when I say "people," I don't mean regular yahoos, I mean people who might be quoted in an actual media outlet).  Every comedian is hilarious, every artist, writer, or musician is brilliant and

It feels great.  In fact, I would have preferred not to *ever* find out about this NYE thing.  Every time something like this happens, I feel a little bit better about myself, like, whatever disappointments I may face, at least I didn't waste any time thinking about Honey Boo Boo or whatever (which I still don't know

The thing you have to keep in mind about the New Yorker (and probably about a lot of media), if that the advertising does not stop at the actual advertisements.  A lot of the essays and stories are also essentially advertisements.  "Girls" is starting its second season => Dunham has a personal narrative in the
