I've got volumes one and two of Batman: TAS on my Christmas list, and if no one gives em to me I'm definitely just gonna go out and buy them for myself. So excited that there will be recaps here!

Janeane Garofalo on The Ben Stiller Show.

Yeah isn't the "surprise twist" just that something with such epic battle sequences could have such a boring and drawn out denouement with tacky romantic scenes just for the hell of it? Wait, that's just like Return of the King, so this might not totally suck.

We few, we happy few, we band of space pirates

I'm only a casual viewer of the show, so maybe my opinion doesn't count for much (not that it would in any case) but I'd still maintain that in terms of half-assed storytelling and "funhouse versions" of characters, this wasn't nearly as bad as the Britney Spears episode. This was more just absolutely uninteresting…

They can record in Glasgow, but I'll be damned if these fucking Mexicans try to come over here and steal American studio time.

De Niro burned down a barn near my parent's house in Michigan, supposedly for a movie, but probably just cause there wasn't much else to do.

That laboratory line from Walternate gave me chills. And good call on the Peter/John Scott similarities - Olivia's brain must be getting tired of projecting shit or whatever.

I also had no idea that was him, and I've (unfortunately) seen Kingdom of Heaven 2-3 times. That just adds to the overwhelming sense of wasted potential I got from that movie: how could a film helmed by Ridley Scott with Jeremy Irons, Liam Neeson, Edward Norton, and Brendan Gleeson be so utterly boring?

Talking Bout a X-Man
Regarding Marvel attempts at animation, the 90s X-Men cartoon was the fucking shit, with the most epic intro music ever created. The animation itself wasn't anything amazing, but (for the most part) the story-telling was spot on and it helped get a young me hooked on X-Men (and I in turn helped…

Jesus, it must be so annoying for people to have to click something on their computers. What has this site come to!?!?

It's true that there is a little more subtlety to Torv's performance if you rewatch season 1, but only a little. I'm not saying I didn't find things to like in her character, and it's clear that Olivia is supposed to be a very professional and focused agent that is forced to deal with a lot of weird and emotional…

Google Instant
Fun facts, though I can't say I really have any problem with the way Instant works (aside from the fact that it's pretty pointless). Interestingly enough (to me, at least) if you type in "google piece" using Instant, the first thing that comes up is "Google Instant is a piece of shit."

Yeah, Anna Torv is really doing a fantastic job lately. To be honest, I wasn't all that impressed with her for most of season 1 and early season 2, but she's really been doing great with what they've been giving her lately. Just the way that she carries herself as Fauxlivia is noticeably different, and her work in…

I'm pretty sure TV Club has a policy of avoiding A+ reviews for these night-of recaps. I don't really have a problem with a show like Community getting an A- for an episode with only a couple missteps, because I know the show is capable of delivering an episode that had just as many highlights as this one, but…

@ADemonsTwistRusts

Yeah, not to be annoying, but unless everyone here has already seen it, it's a little disingenuous to say the original is better. It may very well be, but if your only evidence is a general distaste for American remakes then that's not very compelling.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I thought Fear was awesome and was fucking hilarious. But it's also totally a piece of shit.

Haha. Fear. I mean, I'm all for terrorizing talentless bitches like Reese Witherspoon (and people with the name Reese Witherspoon, unless they're a butler or something), but man did that movie suck.

Better Off Dead, Grosse Pointe Blank, High Fidelity are all pretty good. And yes, High Fidelity was after GPB.
