Sounds very Roman.  Take some time to analyze their numerical system; it's a wonder they were able to engineer such an impressive aqueduct.  Try multiplying MXVIII by XVIII.
(Hint: You can't)

B: Being second best when compared with Psycho is indeed laudable.
 
C: Timothy Dalton.  Pierce Brosnan.  George Lazenby.  At the risk of inflaming the purists, I would even put Moore ahead of Connery, who took the role far too seriously. 
 
D: Absolutely.  Not a terrible movie, but it did give a key plot point to one of…

No, we're both mistaken; it's the Liger.

Several issues I have with this column:
A: Callahan did NOT normally carry an auto-mag, nor would anyone with any sense.  His preferred weapon was a .44 magnum revolver.
B: "Psycho 2" was the second-best entry in the franchise.  Without Hitchcock, yeah, it's starting from a disadvantage.  Still, a decent movie, and a…

Octopusses (or "octopi", as grammar demands) actually have eight arms (NOT "tentacles", mind you), no skeletal system, three hearts, and the intelligence capacity of a trained dog.  They have been documented as unlocking the covers of their tanks, and going over to neighboring tanks to eat small fishes, crabs, and…

Oh, trust me; I'm lots of fun at parties.

Actually, the episode where they're trying to move the couch up the stairs was legitimately funny.  I'll give them that.  Pairing the series with "Seinfeld" however, not smart.  I liken it to drinking a good shot of tequila, and realizing that the shot of El Toro you drank before totally sucked.

The "Friends" thing was actually manageable, despite having a Friends trivia game sitting on the coffee table.  Women, after all, are always up to something abrasive & annoying…they wouldn't be women otherwise.  No, what really brought things to a halt was her inability to appreciate "Evil Dead 2".

OK, the best way for me to make sense of the world is via analogies, and I think I've got this one figured out: "Breaking Bad" is to the AV Club writers as "Friends" was to my ex-wife.  Right now, it's hard to figure out which one has become more annoying.

They might pull a "Sledge Hammer: The Early Years" trick, after Sledge was blown up in a nuclear blast.  "Hammmmmmmmeeeerrrrr!!!!"

I can safely declare that I, personally, would prefer not to be spayed and/or neutered, under any circumstances.

The entire catalogue will be immortalized as elevator muzak, and appropriately so.  Actually, "Revolution" was a rare moment of The Beatles flipping the bird to every possible demographic, which was admirable (and it was Lennon's song anyway, not McCartney's).  However, I'll still go with the Stones' "Gimme Shelter". …

Politicians are at least honest about being dicks.  Bureaucrats, on the other hand, hide behind administrative rules & regulations.  As an artist, it's your job to subvert & combat this nonsense.

Totally agree.  Whatever he was into was really freakin' strange, but not technically "illegal".  He had a few good pop tunes as well.

Pundits and commentators are generally good with being referred to as "journalists" until their retainer lawyers advise them otherwise.  Good day to you, sir.

And I would more so indict them, as they merely "propose" to be legitimate artists.  Bukowski, Kafka, Blake, Schoenberg.  All genius, none compromising.  Should be what we all aspire to.

Colbert's character is a satire of people who legitimately hold audiences by legitimately being assholes.  Those assholes, however, are paid commentators who run on scripts written to inflame their targeted demographics.  To be a true asshole, you need to know how to enrage anyone at any time, and not give a shit.

I'm sure Colbert is very nice in real life, but his character IS the most insufferable prick who ever walked the earth.  Also, "charming" and "nice" are two entirely different constructs.  Charming people are rarely nice, and nice people are rrarely charming.

Artists— by definition— must be uncompromising assholes.  Want to meet a "nice" person? Go for a politician or a bureaucrat.
