I second the "My Life as a Weapon" this-is-what-Hawkeye-does-when-he's-not-in-the-Avengers approach.

For the record, "snorlax" means "snot salmon" in Swedish. That is all.

And then there's this:

So far, the evolution of this show parallels season 1 of Dollhouse pretty closely: early episodes that were just painful, case-of-the-week crap, a more interesting midsection (starting with the Patton Oswalt IT tycoon episode), and then a crazy, high-stakes rush to the finish line, which incorporated the early…

I'll second that. On another note, we are all old.

I just hope we get to see Chris Pratt and Peter Serafinowicz crash a toy helicopter. And then go get ice cream.

C'mon, no one has mentioned "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex yet? Other candidates may include "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, "Rainy Day Women" by Bob Dylan, "Revolution 9" by The Beatles, and "Rite of Spring" by Stravinsky (or any other music that requires one to pay attention, I suppose).

Unfortunately, this review is right on: this is a joyless, pretentious, and pretty much pointless film that's really pretty to look at. It's ridiculously opaque (deliberately so, I'm sure), and foregoes the most basic narrative tools (like characterization) for precisely placed bodies in neon-lit Bangkok alleyways.…

I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature. To me, there is no such thing as a secret world of…

Also the Airplane follow-up, with everyone getting food poisoning from the fish.

I just realized that Pink is actually Sharon Gless. Bring on the Cagney & Lacey movie!

Except that Eichmann's job was precisely to make the trains run on time. This has nothing to do with Mussolini.

I don't like playing the role of the whiny, nitpicking bastard, but Nathan, you're getting Arendt's point of the banality of evil backwards: modern evil is not banal because it masquerades as normalcy, it's banal because it has become bureaucratized and hence IS normal. Eichmann wasn't a butcher - he made the trains…
