The first episode of the show I ever watched was the first Dom Dimello episode.  I remember coming to the show with high expectations, and being disappointed up to the point of Dom Dimello's intro, as it had thus far just been El Chupacabra (which is probably my least favorite Nick Kroll character), and Cake Boss (who…

I haven't listened to CBB in a while.  Just a couple of episodes before the Andy Daly episode that Aukerman talks about here I went back and tried to listen to every episode and eventually catch up, which, not surprisingly, was more or less impossible to do.  That being said, I don't see how any Andy Daly episode…

OK, I'll revise my claim to ruining the cinematic legacy of Tolkien's works. @avclub-9faa8bdc4a84b8217726cb1bfb903baf:disqus is right, the legacy of the book itself won't be ruined.  @HobbesMkii:disqus , I don't think most people think of the cartoon when they think of The Hobbit, but the Peter Jackson Hobbit trilogy…

That was in "The Two Towers."  The ghosts or whatever they are were in "The Return of the King."

The only explanation I could think of was that the ghosts weren't going to do all the fighting for them.  They were just going to do whatever they needed to break their curse and then move on.  Definitely the dumbest deus-ex-machina moment of the film trilogy, though.

I'm just hoping they get that Viggo Mortensen and Liv Tyler can get that scene from the Appendix (to be inserted into the second film of the Hobbit trilogy) where Aragorn tells Arwen about how much he hates sand awkward, emotionless, and completely lacking in any romantic tension enough to live up to expectations.

@E.Buzz Miller  "Tolkien clearly had EVERYTHING planned out in a complex mythos for decades."  Yeah, but he also changed a lot of stuff as well over the decades.  When he wrote "The Hobbit", I don't believe he even had it set it Middle Earth, as it was essentially just a story he wrote for his children.  And when he…

Tolkien's world-building was so in-depth and spread out over such a long period of time that there were inconsistencies.  But this is far more reasonable than Star Wars, which was told in a pretty straightforward manner, whereas the whole canon of Middle Earth literature is more like mythology, and most mythologies…

The thing is though, if Jackson fucks this up, he's essentially fucking with the legacy of debatably the greatest (certainly one of the most important) fantasy writer of all time, whereas with Lucas, it was his own story that he was fucking up.  But yeah, this review doesn't make "The Hobbit" seem like a "Phantom…

What in the actual fuck, Rolling Stone?  But with the list here, I mean, I don't see the point in getting too outraged over something so subjective as a list of the best albums of the year.
