You're an underachiever, and judging by your openly buffoonish postings, proud of it.

Fuck you!
"But in another more accurate way, Barney is the winner."

Looking at a list of Miramax film, I just realized/dragged from the deepest depths of my subconscious mind the fact that Chicago won the Oscar for Best Picture. *shudder*

I could name some great films released by Miramax (sex lies and videotape, Pulp Fiction, The Crying Game, Air Bud 2: Golden Receiver). But yeah, they've done more harm than good, especially in the last decade or so.

Your response deserves kudos as well. I haven't seen such wit since the last episode of Shit My Dad Says. See, it's funny because Shit My Dad Says isn't good at all.

I don't have a PS3, so I only have a vague memory of ads for that game. I'm willing to believe that it rips off Kratos's weapon, although I wouldn't have expected it, what with "sword" appearing right there in the title.

The final confrontation
Me: Die, game! You don't belong in this world!

Patrick Stewart lost all of his video game voice over cachet the instant he appeared as King Expositiorald III in Oblivion.

Based on the demo…
…this game borrows from God of War so heavily, it's hard to believe it has room to rip off anything else. I can name a few games that mimic God of War's basic gameplay and mood, but this is the only one I can think of that copies the Blades of Chaos/Athena/whatever so closely.

Between this and Castlevania: LoS . . .
. . . that makes 2 games that I was initially interested in, but turned out to God of War knock-offs.

I was expecting to see that song on the list.

@Garrison - The well of one-joke, weird-voiced, oddly-named Wiig characters is deep, my friend. Gilly may be gone, but I predict another will soon step up to the plate. My bet: Maureesa, a husky-voiced co-ed whose narcolepsy kicks in whenever she is about to have sex.

The current crop of hosts aren't actively making the show worse, but they aren't doing anything to make it better. Look at this list of Season 1 hosts (look at it!):

But these problems allow the bad writing to flourish. Why bother trying to think of something funny and original, when you'll get paid for writing two back-to-back talk show sketches, followed by a piece in which Kristen Wiig talks in a weird voice for 8 minutes?

Four Ways to Make SNL Better
(1) Cut the show to an hour. Even in its prime, there has always been at least 30 minutes of crap in any episode.

I thought Panic Room was all right. But I also thought that Fight Club is slightly overrated.

He is.

So does this mean…
…that I have to stop referring to Jesse Eisenberg as the brother of that little girl from those god-awful Pepsi commercials?

Whoa. I asked for it, and it appeared. Bow before me O'Neal, for I am thy God.
