"Planes" was made by the Disney team that used to responsible for their direct-to-video sequels and shit. Also, Pixar kinda technically sold out when they were literally sold to Disney…

Agent Gruff Fistman

Yes, that's why I picked him - I don't have some sort of weird Tate Donovan fetish or anything. Though I guess I could muster one up if I had to.

But didn't you see them painfully and awkwardly ask you to watch on the Emmys?  It's all they've ever wanted from you.

Yeah, someone needs to give Harry Lennix a decent role on a decent show, because that man can act.

Sounds pretty much like someone decided to take a B-plot from 24 and make an entire show (or "limited series" or whatever) out of it - and without a Jack Bauer character to make it function.

I'm guessing the writers will eventually realize that everyone assumes Spader is her father and that they can't have that be the big twist that gives meaning to the hours of ho-hum TV the audience just endured.  My proposed solution: Megan Boone's character turns out to be…wait for it… his niece!!!  Her father never…

Yes, Dan's seemingly genuine ire is what makes it so funny, as his exasperation finally gives way to the explosive rage that always lurks beneath the surface.  Along with perviness.  Rage and perviness.

Oh snap, I forgot about the old prospector!  That bit was, if I dare say, gold.

My favorite might be the moment (alluded to in the interview) where Elliott and Stuart interrupt Dan's attempt to plug his wife's charity drive - or whatever it was, the details are fuzzy.

Wolverine and the X-Men (aside from a couple odd character design choices, namely Mr. "Tiny Hips" Wolverine) also might have reached that level if it had lasted longer - it wasn't as good as Avengers: EMH but it was more ambitious than other recent Marvel efforts.

But man does Ultimate Spider-Man blow hard.  I have a feeling the new Avengers show they're making won't be quite as gratingly shitty, but I'll still probably resent it for forcing the end of Avengers: EMH

There are a lot of funny moments in Sorkin's shows, but my vote for the most consistently hilarious is "The Cutman's" inability to keep Casey and Dan straight.  That episode is awesome.

Can you at least still stare at the phallic pattern of sound and imagine what the song sounds like?

Collateral is a really solid film.  Never seen Miami Vice cause I assumed it was shit, but maybe I'll give it a shot sometime.  But nobody better talk smack about Collateral or I'll get angry and sad and tell on you.

Speaking of 30s gangster speak, how excited are you guys for the Guys and Dolls remake with Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

I'm still sour from Disney cancelling Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and I'm not planning on letting go of my anger anytime soon.

He was chained by the gods as punishment for bringing fire to mankind, I think.  Or maybe that was Aquaman.

I'm still not entirely convinced that Michelle Williams and Carey Mulligan are separate individuals, and trying to act like this "Clemens" person is different might be where I'm forced to draw the line.

As someone who actually really liked House of Cards, I don't think the AV Club has any particular "bias" against the show or Netflix - Ryan's reviews are pretty consistent with other critical outlets reaction to the show.
