I really liked station agent - what are the chances prince caspian isn't going to be terrible?

Long Ballsy…
…would have been to kill off Cheryl in the plane crash. I know I wasn't the only one hoping for that, especially after the scene had been shown in the previews for this season.

I grew up on the street
does sesame street still devote half its time to that shitty Elmo segment, or did they realize that no one likes Elmo and we just want to see more pop culture / letter puns?

awesome feature, as usual
you had me at "pot of shit"

eddie murphy's second chance
how about the Dreamgirls (inexplicable) oscar nom?

oh wait
I love artsyness. I meant specifically the random b&w scenes and the overuse of quotes and titles.

if…
I thought it had some great moments but I felt some of the "artsyness for artsyness's sake" kept it from being a true classic for me personally. I guess that was just a heightened style though. When I was watching it I thought, "gee these black and white moments feel pretty random, I feel like I'm watching a

It's a shame society wouldn't allow you to realize your true cinematic visions while you were alive.

speaking of things
joeyjojo - made me chuckle.

Shame
that her influences have pretty much abandoned this sound, but it's nice to hear someone still making music like this. Does anyone else feel slightly awkward listening to this knowing it was only recently recorded? As if she might drop a little reference to cell phones and blow her cover? That said, part of

yes, please bring mario's time machine to the wii. What could be more fun?

Extras
did that variety article casually mention a third series of Extras? I thought they were planning an office-style special to wrap everything up.

you know…
It doesn't get much more eloquent than "Bright Eyes and Cold War Kids, boo."

Well I guess I could give you my opinion
Thanks for calling 'Ye out on the horrible Chris Martin collaboration. It doesn't get much sillier than hearing Martin coo about his fond memories of "fireworks on Lake Michigan." I think the rest of your review is too generous though. The battle between West's personas of

sax therapy
Mind-blowing sax: "The Moon" by the microphones. Indie enough for ya?

Argento
Yeah, LCosgrove1 is right that Argento has always been a bit kooky. I'm reminded of a scene in, I think, Inferno, where a visible hand throws cats across the screen. Even Suspiria had that "people whose names start with S are the names of snakes, ssssssss." The joy of most Argento movies then, is reserved

Oh go ahead
I think we both could use some sleep. You've crafted an excellent parody of what an average test audience might say. I'd only add, "what's with all these cameos by 'comedians' nobody's ever heard of? Eugene Mirman? Dimitri Martin? Couldn't they afford to get someone we've heard of like Larry the Cable

E-l-l-e-n
it's impossible to top the level of hopelessness already implied in the real tagline. I can just picture a loyal viewer recounting her day, and reservedly admitting that yes, the best part was when Ellen asked Cuba Gooding Jr. what is was like working with all them kids.

For the record (of crucial internet comments)
I'm not one of the letter-grade obsessives, and I have no problem with the first day's films not representing a full spectrum of masterpieces and failures. I just noticed that Noel and Scott gave "orphanage", "lust, caution" and "control" the same scores, and I wondered
