That was definitely some of the kinkiest cosplay sex I've ever seen. Dressed as The Situation doing your girlfriend in a haunted house while she's dressed like Steven Spielberg (beard and all)? To quote Gretchen: "EJECT!"

The not wanting Gretchen to know it was his idea and instead get Edgar to do it might have been a reasonable idea, in that Gretchen might have resisted an overt attempt by Jimmy to cheer her up. Of course him telling her at the end (which was his intentional all along) destroyed any good feelings attained. But that of

Granted, someone did egg Paul's old (now Lindsay's) house. And TP'd it too. I guess word got around the neighborhood a nerd lived there or something.

That's the take I have. No one wants to deal with their own problems, let alone Edgar's, so they avoid the PTSD by mocking his social awkwardness. The addition of Dorothy, who seems to accept Edgar at face value, could very well be a turning point for him, as he might actually get to feel love instead of pity.

That look Jimmy gave Nina was so full of foreboding, particularly because Nina gave him a smile back, as she knew full well he had a girlfriend and is quite willing to wait for the next opportunity.

She is definitely physically attractive, and what makes her even more attractive to me is I've seen Kether doing interviews and such, and she just seems like a fun person to be around and is pretty grounded in a business where you are judged for your appearance constantly. Here's a wonderful interview with Alan

It was "Souljah." I remember the 90's.

Paul coming out of the costume store as Stephen Hawking was so hilarious and so perfectly Paul. His computer voice constantly saying unintended words was a nice touch.

And of course Jimmy just had to tell Gretchen what he was up to because of course that's a thing he would do. That last scene with Gretchen's not-really-fully-into-it pretending being "cured" and Jimmy eyeing the bar-owner was really a great scene, and once again, potentially heartbreaking. This show is still

However, ambiguity in and of itself is not clever. (Should I add a Yoink here for no discernible reason?)

Imagine, two hours of actors winking at the audience! It'll be hilarious (get it, we are in on the joke!)

The ocean is awesome and for winners, you're for tools.

This is the trouble with trying to soberly reflect on Kaufman's career, no matter how you assess it, particularly if you are negative, defenders can say, "ah, that was what he meant to make you think." He's the ultimate comedic blank-slate; you can graft whatever meaning you like onto his antics because he was so

The positive stories are quite good most of the time, and here Carol elaborated quite a bit. The not-so-good RR's are the ones where they use the "great to worth with!" line as a way of not saying anything. Steve Guttenberg comes to mind.

Us TV nerds would love a John Byner RR. He has that connection to "old" show biz (he was on The Ed Sullivan Show after all). If you ever get him, you have to ask him about the amazingly odd HBO spoof The Road to Yucca Luna which I haven't seen since it was on in 1979 and which doesn't seem to exist anymore, even on

this is pretty cool but I don't really see why it was necessary?

Well done, sir! I mean ma'am… I mean fellow internet person.

In my entire life I've never found anything charming.

All This Useless Beauty doesn't quite come together for me, probably for just that reason (the songs were written for other artists). Not exactly the swan song for the Attractions I would've hope for, but there are a few individual tracks that stand out ("Complicated Shadows," "Shallow Grave.")

"No way, Bart. If I lean over, I leave myself open to wedgies, wet willies, or even the dreaded rear admiral!"
