    no Community IS The AVClub at this point.
    Veronica Mars well the show was cancelled right before this website became an interactive comment leaving thing and they started covering episodes of tv shows. (right fall of 2007 from what I remember is when they officially started covering episodes of things)

    as someone whom I know just from seeing your comments to enjoy complex season long narratives you absolutely should dive into the series (but not too complex—this isn't The Wire here you definitely won't be asking who the hell this person is and who the hell is that person talking to and what the fuck why are there

    substitute Mark Whalberg for Channing Tatum and you got 2002's flop "The Truth About Charlie" which NOBODY liked at the time. (but it had a great soundtrack compilation)

    lord knows I wouldn't have gotten along with a guy like Logan in real life, but Piz always seemed like such a I don't know I wanna say lightweight. If he was funny or had some endearing quality that you could see Veronica appreciating fully it would've been better—but his sole criteria for dating Veronica seemed to be

    Two and a half men could be compared to Mad Men as they both have Men in their titles! Mennnnn

    its funny because I saw Brick in theaters which was in spring of 2006—right as the later part of the 2nd season of Veronica Mars was airing—and when someone asked me what Brick was like I said well he's an old fashioned detective in high school and he investigates this murder that ends up involving like a number of

    yeah i know but sometimes its not about the movie themselves i think so much as looking at what he's doing with the material he's given—-even in something like JUNO where he's just such a shit by the end of the movie—he successfully makes you sympathetic for his character or at least lulls you into thinking that maybe

    Honestly he's been the best thing in a number of middling comedies. Anyone here ever see Zach Braff in "The Ex" where Bateman played a handicapped asshole who was constantly trying to one up Braff? He was great—and he actually made the movie work to the degree that it did…which is whenever Bateman's not onscreen the

    i can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not!!!!!!!
    ARRESTED FUCKING DEVELOPMENT
    (exhales breath) JEESUS I know its not a movie but fuck!

    you dare mock the bottom line minded certified public accountant whose heart desperetely needed to be filled with magic and wonder at the center of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium?!?!?!?!?

    Cuba didn't deserve it? who else was nominated in his catagory that year? was it William H Macy for Fargo?

    its not the best subject matter if only because his crappy post American Beauty movies were already the subjects of not one but TWO My Year Of Flop entries so its already pretty well worn terrain that Spacey blew his Oscar wad (wod?) on crappy would be message movies. And then once people find out about Beyond The

    i saw it in theaters with my dad—we snuck into it after The Naked Gun 33 and 1/3rd. I only knew Leary as that Asshole song guy so this was a very nice introduction to his persona—and its one that singlehandedly made me a fan of until sometime around Rescue Me. I mean i still liked Rescue Me but it took that long for

    "Mother boxed up half of the tv screen—I rented The Man Without A Face—I didn't know he had a problem!"

    that's actually really fucking apt! like just right on the money.

    terrific soundtrack though—just first rate score work. that opening title track really really sets the mood that the movie so badly wants to convey.

    I just wanna say He was EXCELLENT in CASINO JACK
    I don't know why people always tend to lump that in with his busted star vehicles but its an excellent performance and while it is him doing his venal thing—-i feel like even more here than in House Of Cards—he's still conveying a sense of nuance about the character he's

    i don't know while i'm in as much agreement as anyone here that his immediate post oscar work was largely wasted on terrible screenplays—-i can at least get behind his impulse to try and do something meaningful and important instead of trying to phone it in on something random that his agent put in front of him

    his performance as Mcguggle Mcguggleson in Mcguggleson ranks as one of the best screen detectives in the history of the medium.
    MCGUGGLESON!!!!!

    yeah no kidding. IS FOC making an attempt to be the internet's equivalent to Andy Rooney…cause they could totally fill that void if they had to!
