Wow.

Imagine his O face!

Are there any mother figures on the list? I think these are all actual biological mothers.

Wait a minute, wait a minute… Are you telling me that the collapse of civilization won't be fun, sexy, exciting, and filled with wry quips and opportunities to prove ones virile prowess?

I've recently read Sin Titulo, which was a tour de force in surreal tension and existential struggle. Gray Horses has Hope Larson back in her "dream" phase, which benefited from her lovely, flowing art style, but was also kind of slight. Anders Nilsen's Monologues for the Coming Plague had some good ideas and…

I hadn't heard about Rashad's comments, which basically amount to, "He couldn't possibly be a rapist because he didn't act like a rapist all the time." After reading lots of Marvel comics in my youth, it certainly would be convenient if villainy was always marked by conspicuously villainous behavior. Let's run some…

And just wait 'til he's in his nineties!

Well, he hardly had an affair. He married the girl and remains her husband two decades later. I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse.

You're welcome, Jimmy Joe Bob Jim.

Sure, just as much as his role in In Bruges, Day Lewis' role in Room with a View, Mirren in Calendar Girls, Elliot in Lebowski, Winslet in Fight Club or Neeson in Lego Movie. Does that mean they've all gone the full Nielson? Isn't this about primarily dramatic actors who might decide to make it a full career…

It's uneven. Wouldn't be my first choice, but I'm not sorry I saw it. The tone of one major subplot sticks out as jarring with the rest of the film, and your interest in the competition between movie trailer voice over performers may come and go while watching it. The romantic protagonist's love life is very sweet,…

I just thought it was SOP in retail stores that when you're ready to close, you stop letting customers enter, but you still serve the ones who are inside like they're freakin' paying customers. Her brushoff was ridiculous and her "younger generation is better" schtick was obnoxious. Every young generation has…

You gotta figure, they burned through just about every genre of animation that would remotely make sense and puppetry. What's left?

And nary a mention of… what was her name? The other black one? She had a religious thing going for awhile. Frizzy hair.

There hasn't been any Jeff-centered plot lines either has there?

It certainly looks like the full-on gimmick episode is a thing of the past.

Counterpoint cubed: There is no spoon. (but they have wooden stirrers)

Am I the only one who read a Jew/Wasp resentment thing going on in that scene with Mathis telling Don off? It's not too different from your average nerd/jock or lothario/nebbish envy, but the Jewish subtext would be very true to the times and appropriate for the characters. Don's certainly been unthinking, or…

Well, I'm being deliberately snarky, but seriously, if it's supposed to be a satire on how useless we'd all be at the collapse of civilization, then the show would spoof all the characters, showing their flaws, their fights, their refusal to address reality, their dysfunction while attempting to rebuild a life…

Be that as it may, this is still a really dumb TV show.
