In one of the dvd commentaries for Freaks and Geeks, writer/producer Mike White talked about his frustration in trying to push Dawson's Creek into a direction more in the vein of what F&G would become, high school as it was or at the least how we remember it. This went against Williamson's mission statement that the…

Outside of the Rodriguez segment and the five minutes of Ione Skye toplessness (which is best watched with the sound off), this was a crushing waste of time.

It's great for the first twenty minutes or so, then things kind of go off the rails.

That and the bit where he asks his wife if she's been having sex with the Muse.
"I'm not even going to dignify that with a response."
"Oh, come on…dignify it with a no."

The scene where he smugly blows off a chance to put some investment money he's saved into a little start-up named Casio because he thinks the Japanese don't know shit about precision.

"Oh, by the way, Drew has some ground rules."

There were two strokes of genius that elevated Stripes from what would have been a pretty funny movie to a really great film. One was the decision to have an antagonist in Sgt. Hulka that was in no way a villian. The second was the way Ramis portrayed Russell as Winger's peer (storywise and comedically) and not simply…

"Three generations of Smalley men have died while changing storm windows."

This is most decidedly "not neat".
Is it bad that the first thought I had upon seeing the news was "Come on! How could you do this to me?"

Talladega Nights is the only "Will Ferrell" Will Ferrell movie that I really like (and the only Judd Apatow affiliated movie I don't find insufferable). It's one of few parts Ferrell's had where he actually bothers to play a character instead of coming up with an obnoxious sketch persona and mugging with it for the…

It was great watching him try to keep a straight face during the Stuart Smalley bit. "We'll call him Michael J, to protect his anonymity."

I can't believe that anyone watching the finale was shocked that Nick won. It was obvious from his "everything is a disaster!" edit during the final service that he would come out on top.

Seinfeld. Long before it was the "show about nothing", it took the simple premise of "where does a stand-up get his material from" and used it to craft some of the best ensemble comedy on television. Strangely enough, right around the time Jerry and George started working on a pilot script for NBC, things started to…

I read that she was using foul language when they met. When he told her not to curse, she told him to "fuck off". That's when he got slappy.

Tom Hanks, picking up then setting down the lava lamp. "……owww."

According to Lizz Winstead (so please take with a grain of salt) he's a bit of an empty shirt creatively. He was someone who constantly had to be propped up in writer's room and production meetings and made to think he was contributing more than he was in order to placate his ego. So, on his own without a support…

I still remember the last time I intentionally watched Kilborn, Rose McGowan was on TDS and I wanted check out the interview. It may have been the creepiest thing I've ever seen on television. At the time, I tried to describing what had happened on the show to a buddy of mine, and all I could think of to say was "I…

Uh, M*A*S*H? A center eligible play? Come on! Roger Ebert assures us that kind of rule getting arounding is what makes the cretinously sociopathic heroes of the film so endearingly charming.

I can't believe she lied to me like that.

Hey! He was in Grease 2, show a little motherfucking respect!!
