The titular song from That Thing You Do fulfilled its purpose pretty well.  They actually managed to write a catchy little pop song that you didn't mind hearing several times throughout the movie.  I remember Roger Ebert arguing that it should have won the Oscar for best song that year because it actually served a…

See, I felt all the girls in the final three were solid players and easily could have slid into to role of ringleader had Kim been eliminated one way or the other.

As straightforward as this season may have been, it was a nice palate cleanser after the last few seasons.  I'll take some solid gameplay over returning players with outsized personalities steamrolling noobs and Jesus Island anyday.

Thank you!  I don't know why I continue to read the comments whenever I see a newswire headline like this, because they have a tendency to angry up the blood, but it's nice to see that not everyone here has an inflated sense of entitlement.  Or maybe I'm just square.

Saw the headline and came to make that exact same comment.  Well done.

I loved how they didn't even hide all the ropes and guest control cast members in the background, shuffling the riffraff away from the filming.

Isn't that DirecTV?

Given this episode's description on my programming guide and the history of this show, I was bracing for much more product placement than actually happened.

What I've gleaned from reading the comments whenever a story like this is published:
People are expecting me to pay money for a service?! Bullshit! The entertainment industry should operate on a gratuity basis.

So in other words, it looked like Paul Rudd.

I had the same reservations that the reviewer had going into the episode (do we really need another parody of show that airs on one of the deep 200 channels?) but unlike the reviewer, I thought the execution was perfect.  I loved the way the episode slowly escalated, and it was nice to have an episode that just…

Really reluctant to pile on all the Rabin bashing, but it feel it goes beyond simply not agreeing with his grades.  He seems to be very uninterested in the show, and has been so for a while (pills in the jellybeans, anyone?) It's one thing to not enjoy a show (or not enjoy it anymore), but at least be willing to…

@wolfmansRazor:disqus  Any movie where the guy who"s so obviously the villain turns out to actually be the villain.  You spend the whole film thinking "There's no way the shifty guy with the eye patch is the mole in the organization, it's probably his seemingly trustworthy boss instead.  Oh, wait, it turns out it was…

I think your enjoyment of Alien 3 depends on where you came into the series.  3 was the first Alien movie I saw, and I thought it was a pretty good film, partly because I wasn't aware of how much it was borrowing from the original, nor did I go in expecting to see the continuing adventures of Newt and Hicks.

You're not alone in that feeling. But I doubt the non-twist will seem any more like a non-twist if you watch it a second time.

I always see it described that way, but can the ending really be considered a twist?  The events are set up to be a highly intricate and multi-layered game, but in the end it turns out to be… a highly intricate and multi-layered game.  Hell, the movie is even called "The Game," not "The Conspiracy" or "The Shadowy…

"That's disappointing," cried out all the teenagers under the age of 17 who wanted to see this documentary about bullying but now can't because of the R rating, "but now we must go out back and feed our unicorns. Because we don't exist."

Just out of curiosity,does anyone know what happens if there's a tie at the final tribal council. With three people, there's always the possibility of a two- or even three-way tie. Could the million dollars ever be decided by a fire-making contest?

I turned to my wife and said the exact same thing.

Tom Hanks strikes me as someone who would be the perfect Oscar host.
