Peralta talking about how nuts have "like, zero fat" was perfectly in-character for such a buffoon.

THAT LOOK. Damn. That scene was just fantastic.

Indeed. That performance, and their relationship, was the most powerful aspect of that whole series, to me. That was the first time I noticed Dillane as an actor, and he was phenomenal.

I also loved every one of Pete's "Beer tastes like…" jokes. The one about a pond filled with old books, or something along those lines, destroyed me.

Or the Bob Dylan co-write on Gene Simmons' Asshole solo album, on the track, "Waiting for the Morning Light"

No joke. This was around the time he was working on solo material with Jim Vallance, and they were co-writing songs together and came up with the lyrics and arrangement for "War Machine", which was originally based on a synthesizer riff that Gene Simmons wrote.

Here's my list. They're all the tops, but "Half A Score" was by far my favorite of the year. I thought 2012 had some great standouts, but 2013 was an incredible year for CBB overall.

I just caught the James Van Der Beek episode On Demand the other night. The intro to that episode, with Eric just absolutely destroying the set while T-Pain performed was so awesome.

That song really broke the tension of that scene. Peggy waiting for the elevator felt like an eternity, especially since this episode followed the one where Don almost fell down the empty elevator shaft (or imagined it, depending on your interpretation). On first airing, I thought, "please, don't have Peggy die in an

I think he wasn't that suave or cool because a) Jon Hamm's voice didn't sound nearly as gruff as it does now, b) the whole episode hinges on the fact that he has writer's block at a time when he's dealing with their biggest account, Lucky Strike. He's not supposed to be suave or cool, he's rattled that he can't work

"You killed my second cousin Frank. Big mistake."

"Angry Again" is better than anything on Youthanasia. It's up there with "Symphony of Destruction" and "Holy Wars" as my favorite 90s Megadeth song.

I agree with your theory, and now I'm convinced that this is the second appearance of Random L.A. Cop Robert Patrick in film, because Random L.A. Cop Robert Patrick must be the character who pulls Wayne over in Wayne's World, and NOT the T-1000! (Then again, why is Random L.A. Cop Robert Patrick pulling Wayne over in

This opens up a big debate about whether what we're seeing through Danny's point of view is actually Jack Slater IV (and if it is, that creates a huge paradox that makes no sense); or if Danny's arrival in the shootout is what changes things from the movie-within-the-movie to now Danny's unique experience. I highly

I always thought his name was Leo LaFarte, or something along those lines. If it's actually "Leo the Fart," that's so much worse, but also so much funnier.

Agreed. I thought the second Samberg/Pally episode was even better than the first, particularly BECAUSE Samberg kept calling out how badly Pally was sticking to the character, and then he just decided, "guys, it's me, Adam Pally."

"213" is really creepy. Probably Tom Araya's most disturbing lyrics ever, now that I've just listened to the song again.

Do you enjoy live versions, at least? That's only like the last 45 seconds of the song, you could just skip past it at that point, because that intro riff, holy hell. Probably the creepiest sounding riff Hanneman had ever written. It's a shame we won't hear any more from him (unless, according to Araya, they finish a

If anything, Breuer's stories made me believe something I've suspected for quite a while based on interviews with the guy, that Adam McKay is kind of an asshole. I like a good number of his movies, but the way he acts like he's subverting and reinventing comedy by being "so stupid it's smart" really gets under my

Agreed. The way June talked about her grief, and how surprising grief can be when it comes after a period of dormancy, and how that surprised feeling is actually a good thing, was just perfect. It's something I've felt many times when dealing with the loss of one of my best friends and a couple of my relatives, and
