Yeah, ok, fair enough, that seems consistent with their differing lists and attempts to play down his identity. But I still maintain this is moronic: it's not like he's Kapitän Deutschland or wearing black, red, and gold in their version. It just seems kind of insulting to the audience to assume they can't handle the…

This is a kind of a cute little Easter Egg, but is this really necessary? It just doesn't make much sense to suddenly make a nod to international markets with such an obviously domestically-focused character with such deeply jingoistic origins. I mean, the film isn't being retitled as "Captain Australia" or "Captain…

No, only children don't understand the value of having a shitty piece like the Iron and the degree to which the game is about structuring one's aggression towards one's siblings.

I'm not as big a Bradley fan, but I'm going to join your positive reaction. He's a charming actor, it's undeniable, and some rebooted Indy movies (maybe JJ Abrams directed?) could be totally awesome.

New rule? You want a new rule? How bout you get rid of this stupid crowd-pleasing CAT and bring back the FUCKING IRON, ya jagoffs? Don't you realize we NEED a shitty piece that someone HAS to be STUCK WITH? Or is everyone at Hasbro a fucking only child?

his drunkenness, something that theoretically should NOT be a problem for a professor

I hope you're right. Also, once you mention something to seven-year-olds, there is no backing out so I think I'm going whether I like it or not.

Well yeah and it also demonstrates the whole problem with episode by episode ranking. Those seemingly slow early episodes of a Mad Men season are a key part of each season's big pay off.

Yeah this population doesn't feel reliable to me. It leads me to suspect that most IMDB users are teenage boys from remote parts of post-Soviet Europe who really don't have a lot of access to good criticism. The Battlestar Galactica chart really proved it.

I was at first enormously embarrassed by how quickly I thought of that upon seeing this photo, and now I'm enormously relieved that I wasn't the only one.

Also, no more segments from correspondents. It's the Jon Stewart Show. Even Colbert's formula is a little tired, and his comic talent dwarfs Stewart's. I admire a lot of things the Daily Show does, even now, but it is in need of a major refreshing.

Now knowing how bad Apatow is at ending things and resolving his shaggy storylines, NBC did him an enormous favor. "Freaks and Geeks" is such a wonderful, sensitive, funny slice-of-life and ends perfectly with Lindsay getting the van. It's just a year in the life of some lovable high school outcasts in 1980. I know…

Ugh, this review does not make this sound good in the slightest. I was going to take my nieces and nephew but now I think I'd rather just watch the Great Muppet Caper with them. I can almost hear the author trying to will himself to like it more. I also think the new voices are such a problem, if they ever DID reboot…

I worry about the future of all those other great supplementary technologies of intricate model-making and animatronics, what with people like Stan Winston dying. Will directors who prefer blended effects have nowhere to go?

Oh, I can do just that: I was 14 in 1993. Two of the four were gay, which was probably pretty obvious at the time but eluded me, and despite being from a pretty rich town, only three of us are now financially stable, what with Alex still living with his parents and being an alcoholic exterminator and Nate's low-paying…

Seems telling that one of the best non-white talents on the show came up not through the standard network of comedians.

Which current castmembers came from YouTube? I'm genuinely asking here, I didn't know anyone had gotten on the show that way.

I think you're right, as the key part of my comment is "IF SNL has any interest in being truly subversive or exciting or even just relevant." That's a pretty big IF. Lorne Michaels is a pretty self-satisfied guy without much interest in the cutting edge.

I think that depends: if you are more a sketch performer with a talent for voices and characters, you'd be far better off on SNL than doing the same basic satire of a brainless CNN reporter that all Daily Show correspondents do. I also have a general critique of TDS, as it's not really a showcase of anyone except…

This isn't just knee-jerk affirmative action, as I think the opener demonstrated, such a homogenous white and male-dominated cast actually means the show is limited when it comes to satirizing a huge swath of popular culture and public life. For Christ's sake, this was even more pronounced when they had a man with…
