STOP POSTING THESE AT 3 AM. I need to get back on a normal sleep schedule!

For someone who has his share of down-on-his-luck moments, for some reason I never think about Homer lamenting missing the small Yakuza guy kicking ass and taking names right after Marge closes the door whenever they happen. Rest assured, I will from now on.

"The way to a girl's bed is through her parents. Have sex with them and you're in!"

I know if I were an Academy member, I'd whip everyone else into shape and show them how to have the integrity I already possess!

The thing with Netflix that's weird is no matter how many lists you read about things coming to or departing from it in the coming weeks or month, it will always surprise you with something. It's welcome when it comes to the former, less so with the latter.

That is indeed heartbreaking. I hope it inspires people to work hard on their own issues. Even though the option of failure is almost always real, and always scary.

"Doubt" was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, though. And "Closer" got neither.

I'm staking it all on "Boyhood" to win Best Original Screenplay this year. It all is basically nothing, considering I am jobless, except my pride, so, yeah, basically nothing. "Birdman" will almost definitely win other things and it does have a good shot with that category as well, I just…am stubborn, to put it

I have thus far seen 8 out of the 10 Best Picture nominees from 2010. I had no problem with "The King's Speech" but it was inferior to most of the others, and I really wanted either "TS3" or "The Social Network" to win.

"Kimmy Schmidt" is one of my biggest anticipations of the year and I was seriously surprised this place didn't include it in their own list. Less than two months!

Well, as usual, it looks like pop culture for the second half of the year will be better than in the first half of the year. Not that I don't have my anticipations from now through May, though. I'm a bit surprised at the omission of the return of "Last Week Tonight"…

I don't really think "Parks" does that at all. I think Leslie has been irrational plenty of times, and there are times when Ron straightens her out and it works perfectly. Unfortunately, there are times when Ron is far too stubborn (which I'll concede has always been a characteristic of his, so it isn't always wrong)

I could go for a whole episode of "Real Ray or Fake Ray". I would have especially loved to hear the fabricated quotes.

Oh man, do I know how I feel with Brandon's writing about movies. After a good, inspiring one - or even one where I just feel motivated to write something - I almost always have good adjectives, insightful observations and a general idea of what I want to write about when I write about what I've just seen. Then I

You mean badonkadonk.

This isn't exactly a hoax, but your story reminds me of a stock market fuck-up many investors made last year. There was once a retail chain called Tweeter that has various locations all around the U.S. which went bankrupt around the 2008 downturn. After selling its assets, its stock name, TWTR, all of a sudden

But "the" was used multiple times in the comment!

Oh, good. *laughs*

I seriously think that it's unlikely this is a viral marketing campaign. I get the willingness to believe it, but it just doesn't seem very plausible to me.

Damn. I endorse the compassion in this thread. And I wish I had the energy to post earlier.
