I cant' tell if this review was a commentary on pitchfork reviews or what.  Damn that's alot of adjectives and imagery crammed into two paragraphs.

My concern is that the entire rest of the song is how good "that day" was, but he brings up a highlight from the prior week. 

You can tell it's not due to the noticeable lack of kazoos and instances of rape. 

@avclub-7e83722522e8aeb7512b7075311316b7:disqus Yeah you're probably right.  I know she's a smart and thoughtful reviewer, I always like when she and Scott do joint columns about specific topics.  I guess more often than not Scott ends up reviewing the movies I also want to see, and I tend to read mostly those. 

A.O Scott is quite good, and Manohla Dargis, also of the NYTimes, really knows her stuff, although I kind of find her reviews to be more wet-blanket variety.  Scott's the type of critic that will write a glowing review for a superhero or genre movie if executed well or in an exciting way, whereas Dargis, at least in

Although having read that last part, that's exactly the plot of Zodiac, so maybe he'd want to skip it. 

I agree on both counts.  A decent actor of the character's native tongue is almost guaranteed to be better than a better foreign actor with an accent.  Maybe Colin Firth doesn't want to do gay / historical figure again so soon, but he'd probably be great in that.

He is so good in Jackie Brown.  From the interview he appears to be pretty self-deprecating and unassuming, which is exactly what the role called for; being generally worn out but still receptive to nice opportunities.  I can never tell if in certain roles people knock them out of the park because they're doing a

SPOILERS?!?

Tasha lost it for herself.  But let's shake her hand anyways. 

Does no one love the Young Guns movies?  Yeah they're casted with heartthrobs-at-the-time people, but they're pretty fun and actually pretty decent westerns.  No one's going to confuse them with Leone, but they're alot more entertaining than something like Quick and the Dead. 

It's not.

Unpaid interns keep the wheels turning.  As the firm expands and branches into new territories, it can hire an ever increasing number of unpaid interns.  Unpaid interns ward off stagflation.  I haven't taken economics in awhile, but I'm pretty sure that's how it goes.

If the Mets had collapsed once, maybe you're right.  The back-to-back seasons though…

I laughed out loud at that.

Is putting this info in a chart or graph feasible?  It'd be alot easier to compare shows than going back and re-reading sentences for the numbers, and you could break it up by genre, time-slot, network, all that jazz.   

Or "Jonah Hill" playing "Harvard graduate".

Right, there are exceptions for sure.  If you're playing the Blue Jays this year and have runners on 2nd and 3rd and Bautista up, he's the only who can hurt you on that team so a walk is the strategic play.  But those occur so rarely throughout the course of a year I don't think the few instances will greatly affect

More advanced metrics do a solid job of breaking it down, but if you want a pretty regular stat to give you an idea of what a pitchers is about, WHIP is where it's at.  Who are the best pitchers in baseball today? Verlander, Hamels, Kewshaw, Beckett, Haren, Weaver, Lee, Shields, Halladay, Tomlin.  Those are the 2011

And anytime they wanted to have Jerry get a little crazy, they would just use one of his 5,000 girlfriends as the straight-person.
