Hey, guys. Allen Rubinstein here. This is my list and video, and I'm thrilled that The A.V. Club saw fit to feature it. Thank you! I hope all of you get a lot out of my labor of love.

I'm so divided. I can't believe 24 is actually good again, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it, but I miss roaring with laughter at the terrible acting, preposterous characters, ludicrous plot points and blatant promotion of neo-conservative ideology. Can we alternate seasons that rock and seasons that suck?
What about the alcoholic judges?
Publicity-whoring, rap mediocrity?
I find it interesting putting up personal, creative works against corporate product. It finely illustrates the banality and emptiness of the latter and the richness of the former. Then I look below… and every single comment is about the corporate product.
Try writing a one-act play and making it really, really great. It's a challenge. Lots of seasoned playwrights fail to come up with a great play every time, even when they put in all the necessary effort. Now take your great one-act play and write 500-600 more (and a movie) with the same characters and make them all…
Raising Arizona is more trailer trash than hayseed, along with Blood Simple.
Isn't Burn After Reading a bigger Numbskull comedy than Intolerable Cruelty?
Teri Gar Gar?
And what in hell is that thing behind him? Is that a garden gnome or his little bat wizard friend or what?
He looks kinda dusty.
Which, let's not forget, Heller has staked his entire presidency on getting. The American people have demanded whatever the hell this thing is. The American people will settle for nothing less than whatever the hell this thing is. Good relations between the United States and England are really the top issue on our…
I just figured she gave him a beej.
Do reverse vampires inject blood into your neck from their mouths?
Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet, no less.
Granted, but what idiot of any age doesn't like Babe?
I didn't understand the line the producer said, "Your ex-wife is a first-class nutjob." It obviously isn't correct (Forrest's the nutjob), and it seemed to step so far outside the role he'd had before this. If it was an attempt at callous manipulation, it would be an odd strategy, and I'm not sure what his objective…
I especially loved the bit where they both agreed it was the saddest romantic rebound of all time.
I was thinking you could bring back the same character in a completely different format. Forrest MacNeil is so indelible. He could be Andy Daly's Alan Patridge, and Review would be his "Knowing Me, Knowing You."
In particular, when he's announcing that he wants to divorce her without stating a reason, and there's a cameraman photographing the whole thing. You need a bit of suspension of disbelief there.
