On a date recently, a girl forced me to sit through the straight-to-video horror flick Cell with John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. It was without a doubt one of the worst movies I've ever see. I can forgive Jackson for giving in to it - he almost has a religious creed not to say "no" to any offer. But Cusack was

I can see where you are coming from and completely agree, but at the same time I can understand why Moss might have responded in that way. I am not Elisabeth Moss, nor am I a famous actor of any stripe, but I can see why it might get annoying to always be asked some variation on the same question: "Do you always

My immediate reaction is: Can it not be both? Who cares if Elisabeth Moss approached this as a "human role" rather than a "feminist role"? That is totally her prerogative. It doesn't take away from the clearly feminist implications of the content.

The editing and song choices in this episode were used to maximum comedic effect. In addition to the Simon & Garfunkel, I loved the sudden cut in the dramatic score when Dean revealed his dog-people theory.

Be honest. Are you tripping balls right now on the Yellow Submarine?

Yeah, it's absurd. Sometimes I've had this problem with the show where Hannah does something ludicrous and utterly awful yet we are forced to pick her side because the guy admonishing her for it is depicted so horribly/condescendingly.

I haven't actually finished watching the episode but I just came on here to ask: Since when did Adam start smoking? Wasn't he always a big health freak?

Of all the phenomenal acting on display in this episode, I think the one image that will stay with me is Steve Buscemi's demonic grin when he returns to the bar. I've had the unfortunate experience of witnessing a loved one (my uncle) slip into a psychotic breakdown and he had that exact same expression: an unhinged,

So peculiar seeing the kid from Two & A Half Men show up as the last Horace.

I kind of saw it as Horace paying for the sins of his father and previous generations. The whole family abandoned young Pete as he was mercilessly beaten by Horace VII in an attempt to escape the bar. Makes sense that Horace VIII falls at the hands of an adult Pete at the very moment it seems like he might try to make

Completely agree about the supposed "hipster" thing. I've seen a lot of people on this comment board use words like "obnoxious" and "douchey" about them. They were acting completely reasonably, perhaps being even too understanding. If that was the shows attempt at skewering a certain generation, they weren't very

I'm sorry but, apart from the attire, where was the hipster satire in those characters? I don't think they did anything, behaviour-wise, that played into the whole hipster stereotype.

Wow. Regardless of the overall quality and value of this episode, may I just say… it nailed the general sensations and progressions of taking such a stimulative drug.

Okay, let's just clarify: Jim Rash 100% nailed Joel McHale

Nerdist reference.

Blue Valentine is a perfect example of that. He puts on his big Acting hat there.

I think he's great in the first two, but Blue Valentine… not so much. He was doing that forced naturalism there that I don't like.

I really liked this ending, it manages to encapsulate the sombre undercurrent of the series alongside the hilarious mania of its lead character. The reveal at the end didn't really bother me because it kind of emphasized the main theme of the show. Not that family comes first; not that hedonism is a cruel practice;
