On the complementing of David Schwimmer, I think of all the cast he is the best actor, in terms of craft. The writers don't do his character any favors…….(though deep down he is my favorite character as well.)

I always thought Gen Y was a largely artificial construct. Breaks down like this:
If your grandfather was WW2 vet
and Dad was Vietnam generation,
You are Gen X.
The next wave is the Gen X children.

I would define Pulp as a drama where the actions are strained past the point suspension of disbelief. I think this is where the Shield gets a little pulpy. I think that the characterization is strong, but there is sometimes a Saturday morning serial feel "How is Vic and the gang going to get out of this one?" Usually

Also a lot of characterization of Reed Richards is like this as well, although usually not to the same extent.

I was just about to post this! Highfather is supposed to be benevolent.

It makes me happy when an interview with someone whose work you admire makes me think they are exactly how I would want them to be.

Is Magneto getting reduced in age to a baby still part of the continuity?

Marvels answer is a lot more rational. Whenever someone says "Reed Richards and Ben Grimm fought in World War 2!" They just say "No they didnt!"

Can you make a case that this is the most shocking moment in TV history? Its got to be right up there.

He is amazing. Such a great combo of menacing and hilarious. I still sometimes love to announce at the dinner table that we are getting the band together tonight and party our asses off.

I forgot the Vegas wedding thing! Truly surprising.

Bomber Harris is a reference to the head of the RAF Bomber Command in WW2.

Red Dawn is outstanding. Even if you think it isnt, how about Boothe, Stanton and Ben Johnson?

LAUGHING HIS SICK FUCKING ASS OFF!

Yeah she is in the league. How about Sin City era Carla Gugino?

Lets talk about Jennifer Aniston. She is a very attractive lady, remains so to this day.
BUT…….
The first two or three seasons of Friends, before she got too skinny and that little bit of baby fat went away?
OH MY.
I think young Jennifer Connelly is her only true rival……….

Always thought this show never got enough credit for its bits of well executed physical comedy. Schwimmer and Perry were the best at it.

The continuity on this show is all jacked up. Its like the Sherlock Holmes canon

The bit of Joey yelling "why, God, why?" is so funny in that episode.
