"Rushmore" and "Darjeeling" are, in fact, the two Anderson movies that actually have Kinks songs in them.

Gasp! A motion picture, released in the United States, with a primarily white cast? Say it ain't so!

Only two Wes Anderson movies have had Kinks songs in them. And the last one that did was released six years ago.

Is it just some COINCIDENCE that BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA rearranges to spell "Bum's Kaiser? Aha - bacon!" I THOUGHT NOT!

If Gaiman ever glared at me, I'd smack him and tell him to go back to skulking around in the back of Hot Topic.

Raiders is pretty different from The Prestige or Inception (or most of Nolan's films) in that Nolan puts a special emphasis on the importance of unraveling a narrative puzzle which ultimately doesn't make much sense. Raiders is all about fun action and set pieces held together by a couple great characters, so who…

Voice actor deaths - along with rising voice actor salaries - are one of the few things that might actually stop the Simpsons.

Rising production costs exceeding projected revenues?

You got a stew goin'.

That Chavez sure was a tyrannical leader, what with holding numerous hotly-contested elections over the course of his terrifying rule! Why, it's a wonder any rich people managed to survive his reign of terror, what with his increasing of marginal tax rates and his establishment of a social welfare state!

"Vote for Brendon Small for Student Council President, because no job is too big for the boy they call Small! Brendon Small, that is, so vote for him, for president!"

Actually he's Jewish. It's laundry day and he's down to his priest costume.

You got rid of your wax cylinders? But the sound is so much warmer!

Actually, it was the stuffed toy issue that Watterson saw as violating the strip's integrity on the nature of Hobbes. And I see his point: if you're buying a stuffed toy of Hobbes, it pretty much sends the message that Hobbes is (just) a stuffed toy.

That always bugged me, too, but I let it slide given the fact that North American comic books have been overwhelmingly dominated by the superhero genre, to the point where both the big publishers and fans of the genre have been happy to equate "comics" with "superheroes."

Episodes like "Advanced Mixology" or "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas"
or "Remedial Chaos Theory" wouldn't work if the characters weren't
interesting, clearly defined, and more three-dimensional

In a way, I feel like it's kind of weird to talk about "getting characters right" in a show that's never really prioritized its characters all that much. Think about any other really strong sitcom - Seinfeld, Arrested Development, prime-era Simpsons - and you have a good idea, after watching a few episodes, of who its…

And if Dan Harmon hadn't spent the last year shrieking and yelling to anyone within earshot, people probably wouldn't have noticed his leaving Community either. And if a tree fell in a forest and if no one was there to see it, whoop de friggin' do!

A show that Tina Fey was merely acting in, rather than writing and producing, would not have been the same. And this is fairly evident given the fact that, as noted several times before, the very premise of 30 Rock is based around Fey's own life and experiences as a TV writer.
