I agree. SM3 was lame like a flopping fish at the end. I would imagine everyone saw how obviously overstuffed and terrible it was by the time they walked out of the theater … even fanboys.

Fine. Love it! Love it like you've never loved anything before!

Agreed. SM3 territory. And if you need empirical evidence of the fact that the action scenes were a little boring, look at the 10 minute stretch where the fucking badass with electric whips is just shown typing into a computer, replaced by a bunch of boring, throwaway drones as supposed threats.

Spiderman 3 … 2
I disagree with the idea that this escapes the Spiderman 3 blackhole of business. Sure, it's not as visibly crappy as SM3, but it also lacks the substance to swing it the other direction. A "B" grade is generous, really generous.

Has anyone posed this question to the LOST staffers yet? I mean, I don't know how many Koreans still keep up with the show (Seasons 4-5 seemed to throw the interested parties I know for a, umm, loop), but I was curious what that week-break was for, and if it had anything to do with this.

Yeah, I just noticed. Sorry about the double-post, and feel free to delete one of them if you want.

Yeah. They die and Kate lives? Fucking retarded.

South Koreans and drowning
This might be especially pertinent after Noel's admission of being grief-stricken during Nashville's flooding but how he also stated that others are largely indifferent about it …

To these eyes, the first episodes of THE WIRE seemed to be pretty sub-standard cops and robbers fare … but it acted as a base for the great show that happened later. Those characters seemed kinda one-note, too. If you resent New Orleans, I suppose that's a good a reason as any to not watch the show, but Simon managed…

Chuck Norris apparently needed another soul to stay fit and healthy. Happy 70th, Mr. Norris, even if you had to steal Corey Haim's life force to get there.

Can't find them in the archives, but these are favorites …

That almost makes me want to watch …
Never seen an episode before, though I did enjoy that similar show where all of the contestants sucked a lot but were convinced that they actually had talent.

Del Toro really believes in this guy, so I'll go along with it for now. I got a lil' crazy when I heard about this a coupla months ago and wrote Del Toro from his website one scathing, questioning note. He doesn't seem to feel that they're suffocating the original by releasing this one so closely to it, but I'm not…

@Some White Devil

Not sure if you were trying to correct me or just making a statement, but I, too, heard "Suzanne" first at the end of MALLRATS. So my experience with Weezer is blue album, "Suzanne," Pinkerton … and like I said, at that point, I thought the sky was the limit for this band.

I think they realized that in the studio: you'll hear the high-pitched "I've had it" echoing right after that line.

'Cause he's crazy! Why did the AV Club hire a crazy person to write for them?!

I think you really needed to be older when Pinkerton came out to understand what a step-forward/off of a cliff it was. I was about 16, and Pinkerton's confusion, longing and anger was something that Cuomo had only hinted at in Blue - "Say it ain't So."

Suzanne was awesome and promptly made me buy "Pinkerton" asap. Completely different feel, but at that point in my life and Weezer's, I assumed that the sky was limit.

@Anthony_ … I just have to thank you, sir, for taking me back. I was reading through some comments on "The Office," and you recited a Steve Martin bit about the power of "I forgot."
