I could see her being open to taking a "personality test," but then laughing and asking the guy if he "was serious?" the entire time he was explaining her results.

She's the stereotypical "LA Aspiring Actress Type." They're warm and friendly on the outside, but the only reason they want to be friends with you is if they can get something out of you.

It's obvious Maura foots the bill for her, especially with their interaction in the Season 1 finale…I was mostly being facetious haha.

Ali is definitely a mooch. I feel like one thing that attracts her to Cherry Jones is how awesome Cherry Jones' house is.

I originally thought that too, but then it was noted in the episode where they had dinner for Yom Kippur that she was an only child. She also tries to borrow records from Josh in season one (where it's specifically shown that Josh and Ali bond over the records), and in season one I remember either Syd or Judith…

She thought about writing a children's book. I'm sure thinking about that took up a lot of time.

I have a weird theory that Syd just wants to be a Pfefferman in the same vein that Laurie wanted to be a March in Little Women. Syd's an only child and grew up as Ali's best friend. We can assume she went to a lot of family events and grew up alongside all of them. She loves Ali, but she also loves Ali because Syd…

I dunno, guys. Jesse gave it a "C," so he had to have enjoyed moments of it (or Happy Madison is blackmailing him). I'm sure Dowd would have given it an "F."

If The Longest Yard was his last GOOD movie, then his last GOOD movie was a remake of an even better movie…so the bare bones of a good film were already in place.

I consistently laugh more at this show than I do at more "straight comedies." The people who are complaining are the ones who can't handle Gretchen's depression being portrayed realistically on TV.

Oh, it was way more interesting. It was pretty much a prototype for what the Jersey Shore is now. Stiller was spot-on in his directing for what the MTV-like network did to Lelaina's documentary.

Both of course. With inflation, starting wages should be higher. And considering they're in Houston, TX and not NYC, $400 a week in 1994 is not too shabby for a production assistant on a local morning news show.

I agree with you on most points. I do think there was a complete understanding that Juno would, without question, give the baby up for adoption. That's where I disagree with the writer of that article. What I think is more important is Juno breaking down in tears when she sees Bleeker in the script, because it's more…

I don't think I've ever cried that hard at the end of a comedy. Hands down, best comedy of the year. Brilliant ending.

I read an article somewhere (will try to look for it) that describes how Juno is a film that heavily depends on the ending and the catharsis Juno gets when she finally has the baby (gimmicky, quirky dialogue aside). In the film Reitman made, Juno is balse about the adoption for the whole film, but looks upset when…

What bothers me the most about Reality Bites is Winona Ryder's character (an art/film major) complaining about making $400 a week in 1994 dollars when a lot of newly recent college grads are barely making $400 a week in 2015 dollars.

About the flushing of the meds down the sink…

I love that you compared Rachel's character to the Zooey Dechanel archetype. However, I think Rachel is subverting it by making her character clearly be a broken, possibly mentally ill woman and not quirky (at least that's how her character has been presented thus far, hopefully she will stay that way and not just…

I think Lorelei has Rory's best interests at heart (much like Emily has Lorelei's best interests at heart) and that she wants the best for Rory and for Rory to be happy. The major difference between the Lorelei and Emily relationship and the Rory Lorelei relationship is that Lorelei basically parented differently than…

This sounds so self-indulgent.
