Wow, the Half Nelson guys did It's Kind of a Funny Story? But Half Nelson was great and It's Kind of a Funny Story was kind of a complete piece of shit.

Isn't it worse to jerk off to someone you know online?

Don't forget Tru Calling. Nobody forget Tru Calling.

If Coach Taylor told me that slavery was good than goddamnit I'd believe slavery was good. Casting Kyle Chandler in the role would set back race relations in America 100 years.

In the intervening years Shatner lost his own life, so now he can relate.

America is one of the least racist countries in the world, when it comes to other Americans. Their hatred of people who don't come from America, however, is staggering.

Elephant guns. After all these years, still the best way to kill an elephant.

Yeah, you can't get outraged at celebrities having the presumption to say things on their personal twitter feed. If she had called a press conference to complain about some jerk at the airport maybe you'd have a point.

But he's got big glasses! Nerd alert!

Does Before Sunset count, or is there not enough comedy? Do 40 Year Old Virgin and Bridesmaids have too much comedy to count? Problem is the criteria for the genre is vague, and it's become so associated with shit that nobody making a good movie is ever gonna call it a romantic comedy. Kind of like how no respectable…

Controversial opinion: Zach Synder's Dawn of the Dead is superior to the original in every way. Romero's brilliant satirical underpinnings amount to the characters sitting around going "who are the real zombies? Us, or the zombies?" But that's an argument for a George Romero article, I guess.

I'm still calling bullshit on the Av Club's opinion here. Notice how they miss the satirist of Election and Citizen Ruth, but no mention of About Schmidt or Sideways. So does that mean they think those films are over-rated too? I also think there's some anti-Clooney bias going on too.

Except you get a bunch of tourists in looking to see a show and you get them all pumped up and they'll laugh at anything. The only thing that won't get a laugh is a joke that makes them feel uncomfortable, so if anything it just makes the sitcoms more conservative.

Yeah, Michael's expressions on Arrested Development are their own laugh track.

Sitcoms without a laugh track are like Av Club comments without a like button. Without it, how do we know what's good?

I guess Todd Van Der Werff was Zmf all along. Makes perfect sense when you think about it.

Sad fact is she's not that great an actress. About on a par with Dushku I'd say. Hell, the guy who played Xander was far more talented, and nobody ever wonders why he's not in more good projects.

If you have no interest in things that are great, it's hard to recommend stuff for you.

Is this a new Tarkovsky's AD style gimmick?

I dunno, Stillman had his share of imitators back when he was big. Noah Baumbuch ought to owe him royalties for Kicking and Screaming.
