If Jeff leaves the band, they should call it quits. He's very sloppy live, and his solos are basically terrible nowadays, but his songwriting contributions are undeniable.  Slayer went 10 years without Lombardo before, and they came out just fine, but having seen them live multiple times with Lombardo and Bostaph,

They basically tell him, "You're a therapist who says that we need you, when we're telling you we don't need you. That's a conflict of interest."

I kind of had that problem with "Across the Sea" too. *SPOILERS AHEAD*

Thief was great. FX was on a roll then. I liked Over There a lot too, despite the "controversy."

It always amazes me when a so-called "animal rights activist" can be so pro-vegetarian and pro-PETA but NOT be a vegan.

Tom is still incredibly humble, it seems. I haven't seen any of his stand-up, but I was a huge fan back in his MTV days, probably because I was 14 when his show premiered.  Freddy Got Fingered still works for me, and the fact that he was even joking about a potential Freddy Got Fisted made me a little hopeful, but I

The Tommy Dreamer episode was the greatest. His devastating Bob Backlund story; the fact that they made him play the villian who ASSASINATED THE PRESIDENT of the Bahamas when he wrestled IN THE BAHAMAS; and the "deleted scene" at the end of the episode, where he got his redemption from Bob Backlund; it was the

I think the problem is that it feels so out of left field for what this show is now. If this type of issue had occurred in season 4 or season 5, it would have fit in a lot more than it did in the now overtly cartoonish version of The Office.  I also don't think the issue was with Brian coming to comfort Pam, it was

I still get a kick out of the new ones. "New No-No: The parents get to go to the parents' room now!"

I think it was Paolo, actually.

Francis Wolcott rides again!

I watched Seasons 2 and 3 of Lost before I ever got into Oz, but you're absolutely right. I'm re-watching Lost now, and when he first showed up again as Mr. Eko, I thought "Adebisi on a deserted island? Somebody's getting raped soon…"

Didn't max eat "sofa pizza" once before?  Or am I mixing that up with another show?  I thought it was a callback.

John C. Reilly wasn't really a "name" actor at that point, though. Sure, he had been in a ton of movies, and was always "that guy" you saw in a lot of great films, but I don't recall him getting big billing on a movie until 2004, 2005?  I would have said Cruise and Julianne Moore, most likely, but I can see why Levine

Superbad was written by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, so there's that.

I also love that movie. She was lovably stupid in that movie.

It wasn't really out-of-nowhere, though. She was determined to take her very pregnant sister out for a night of feeling young and having a good time, and he shit all over that from the get-go. Her husband had been inattentive and neglectful to her, and she wanted a night to go out on the town and get crazy, and the
