Too Soon?
I loved shows like Community, Modern Family and Better Off Ted when they first came out, but man have they all jumped the shark.

Live music on TV shows and movies
As a musician, one of my pet peeves is typically how when they have someone supposedly playing, either in a room with just a guitar or on stage, it sounds like they're in a studio. In this episode, when Andy is playing guitar at the shoe shine stand, it's the relatively crappy way it…

Most prescient line ever
When Leslie is talking about Jennifer Aniston, and looks right in the camera and says, "stay away from John Mayer!"

The World According To Garp
The book is better, but it's also much longer. The film did a good job of lopping off the big chunks that took place before Garp was born and after he died. And it had a great cast.

That John Mayer interview (or excerpt) has to be read to be believed:

I agree with an earlier poster that a lot of times when people are talking about irony, they really mean sarcasm. (No, they would NEVER mix those two up.)

I swear, all the words were English, and yet, somehow, Greek?

Cent 50: The Rapper

The Who!
The most obvious great band not listed is the Who: Daltry and Townshend (and sometimes even Entwhistle).

WTF? Who the fuck would fuck the Who?

It was clearly meant to mirror the way her body (in the safe) went into the pit, bouncing off things in the same manner. Perfectly symetrical karmic retribution.

The hotness factor wasn't from the top half of the suit — it was the pants. Damn!

I was thinking about this the other day: Harry Shearer gets a Lifetime Pass (not that he's ever needed one) just for the Simpsons and Spinal Tap alone.

It's a really good film — I have the DVD. It's truly an art film, made by an artist about an artist. It's also very funny at times.

No spoiler here, but the final chapter is a convoluted, over-wrought mess.

I thought the topic was POP culture. Moby Dick would be, well, actual Culture (ya know, with a capital C).

I agree. What would make it work would be knowing WHOSE pumpkin it is and WHY he's smashing it. We just don't know enough about the pumpkin, or G's relationship to it, and that's why it doesn't work

You can always mix it up, by substituting:
Cat's Meow
Dog's Nadgers
Badger's Nadgers

Better Off Dead

Well, Paul was the best overall musician: the best piano player, almost as good a drummer as Ringo, obviously the best bass player, and as good a guitar player as George (Paul plays the killer solos on Taxman and Good Morning, Good Morning). Paul was also the best pure singer (pitch and range), and one of the great…
