What's a salmon helmet? Is it a helmet made of salmon? That seems ineffective.

Regarding "we don’t trust our audience to understand this at all": I remember Frank's monologues being precisely what I needed to understand what was going on. I guess I'm exactly the kind of not-smart-enough audience member the show is aimed at.

I continue to believe that hipsters don't actually exist and are mythical creatures we've made up so we don't have to go through the trouble of actually getting to know people. "I don't like that guy's scarf. He must be wearing it ironically! That means he's a hipster. Oh, how I hate him for all the hipstery things I…

For a few days, every time I loaded The AV Club's main page, a trailer for this movie popped up. Thus I'm determined to never see this movie under any circumstance.

Every rock documentary is called a real-life Spinal Tap by someone.

"I don't understand last week's winner on the AV Club caption contest. Is being rolled up in dough next to pigs who are similarly rolled up the same thing as having sex with them or something? EXPLAIN THIS TO ME, MICHELLE WILLIAMS'S CHARACTER!"

Yeah, I thought the reveal with the brick was obvious, but that's probably because I recently watched the entirety of Damages.

I appreciate Jeff Beal's theme music more every time I watch this. He's good at these things! It's interesting how he also did the themes to Carnivàle and Rome, and all these themes are a little similar, and yet they all work well with their vastly different subjects.
