@ Lana Kane - my fantasy football team is named "The Texas Belt Buckles."

sarCCastro - The Hater was fantastic, and Amelie Gillette is an angel. L.A.'s gain was Brooklyn's loss.

Don and Roger must have met in the early-mid-50's - Don fought in Korea, and it would presumably have taken him a little while to change his name, land at the fur company, and work his way to a position where the furriers trusted him with their advertising, etc.

I thought that the waitress, Doris, was way too good-looking to be a "grenade." She may not measure up to Rachel Mencken - but then, who does?

They did a great job casting young Jed and young Mrs. Landingham.

Number Nine
The first time I saw The Office, I loved Dwight, but its been downhill ever since.

I foresee a future episode where Lane gets lonely and goes out alone, without Don setting things up, and tried to find a $25 prostitute, with frightening results.

"Listen, Olivier"
I've enjoyed Allison over the past couple of years; she's been hilarious in small doses. (Peggy: "What kind of a mood is he in?" Allison: "I can never tell.") When she and Don started to hook up, I got excited about the fact that we would be seeing a lot more of her in future episodes. But that…

Fantastic selection
Thank you, Paperback swap - a copy of Martin Dressler is already on its way.

I agree with the comment which pointed out that High Fidelity is a romantic comedy told from a male's perspective, which is why a lot of men consider it to be a "guy movie." Annie Hall is another such "guy movie," a romantic comedy told from a guy's perspective and full of very beta male-type neuroses.

I reacted to The National's 'The Boxer' like Todd did to 'Stay Positive." It just felt like those guys had committed to vinyl the music I had been hearing in my head for so many years. Also, they totally nailed the "tired and wired" claustrophobic feeling of being overwhelmed in New York City.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 has a third act that, in its own way, is every bit as good as that of Vol.2. The sequence in the Tokyo nightclub where The Bride just totally owns the Crazy 88s, then goes out into the snow to duel with O-Ren Ishi to some of the coolest and least-intuitive background music that any fight scene has…

Its not criminal, but its still sexual harassment, which is a civil cause of action, and the rules against it aren't the sort of regulations to which Leo refers in the folowing episode.

Heyy-oooooo!

The "S. Seaborn" that Sam signs underneath "you're fired" is a one of the funniest throw-away jokes in the entire series.

"Charlie is making fun of you in the Oval Office, that's how bad of an idea this is."
Leo's line to President Bartlett is one of my single favorite lines in the entire series.

Gage Whitney!
Its a sign that I have watched these DVDs way too many damn times that I remember the name of Sam's law firm off the top of my head.

Among the all-time greats
The West Wing's first season was great, but, in my opinion, Season 2 put it into the upper echelon of all-time great television programs.

Barry Levinson's Diner
Diner has a lot of great material for a television show - its characters are funny, relatable, and likeable, the cast has men and women, middle-aged people and 20-somethings, so there is a character for almost everybody to identify with, and, though it sounds cliche, the cits itself is a…

The Shining is one of those movies, like Goodfellas or Pulp Fiction, that could have half a dozen scenes in a Q & A like this. Its just an enormously cool and stylish movie.
