I'm 40, too, and while there's a ton of stuff on the AV Club that interests me and has led me to discovering new movies/music/TV shows (for which I'm grateful) there's articles like this that basically say, "Dave, you're gettin' old."

That's exactly what I thought - either that or there's still something on the boat that the dog's scared of.

"It's not over!"
[five second pause]
"It's over!"

I'm 40, British, and I know what they are only because there was an outcry over them when they were released in the UK.

Yeah, I'd agree with you there. I believe that without his tiny amount of "talent", Gervais would actually *be* Brent - working in a dead-end job and pissing everyone else off.

When Carl wandered up at the end, I thought, "For fuck's sake, he's out on his own AGAIN? Is no one looking after this kid? Does no one care about where he might be?"

I hope he isn't. But I still can't get over how stupid the guys were in the first season when they told Darryl about how they left Merle chained to a pipe. Why not just say they got jumped by walkers and Merle was killed?

As someone who's never fired a gun, I've been wondering - given Carl's age and size, could he hold it properly and have the strength to pull the trigger?

How old is that meme now? Who cares, it's great.

"handed the keys to the family Corvette, and he isn't about to start doing circles in the front yard the very same evening" is being added to my list of "awesome euphemisms" right now.

I can't see any of the women on this show turning up if the guy wasn't a millionaire.

"This is the man she presumably wants to marry". You forgot to add, "for his money".

Nah, Pink's in Hollywood is best.

The one on the right looks like she's had facial reconstruction surgery. And the guy standing at the back is obviously sucking his enormous gut in.

Harry Selfridge would make for a great biopic - an American multimillionaire who emigrates to Britain, builds the world's most lavish department store, shacks up with twin Hungarian dancers, loses his fortune but goes on spending like there's no tomorrow, and eventually dies alone, broke and forgotten in a flat in…

I agree - my wife and I don't have an awful lot in common when it comes to pop culture but our approach to living our lives is basically the same. The idea that I'd dump her because she doesn't like The Smiths or she'd dump me because I don't like girlie movies is ridiculous.

I agree, and I'd add the family scenes from "Jaws" to that. The bit with Brody and his son at the dinner table, with Ellen Brody looking on, is just perfect.

The tree was coming from within the house.
