I read Skins and one other X-Files book that I forget the name of. They were truly terrible. Mulder and Scully were near-unrecognizable as characters, talking and acting in ways they never would have on the show. I think I ended up donating both books to the local library a few years back. I still feel guilty…

Philosophy is for those namby-pamby European socialists.

Well it's good to know we're still the ignorant redneck assholes of the world.

Kung Fu is not Karate
It still amazes me that they have the audacity to call it "The Karate Kid" when this time around it revolves around Kung Fu. One martial art came out of Japan. The other out of China. That kind of makes the movie one big "all Asians are the same to us" statement.

You must be new to the Internet.

BK Simpsons dolls
I still have the complete set of those dolls. I was obsessed with getting all of them when they became available. I also have a remote-controlled skateboarding Bart Simpson and Homer Simpson golf balls, both of which I obtained long past the age where I would have cared about such ridiculous…

Meh. She's so mousy-looking. Like some sort of… mouse.

I called but I got Lynn Hirschberg's voicemail.

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
They're a special place in Cliche Hell for anyone who still uses that line.

Someone please stop The Simpsons
Good lord. I had watched a couple episodes from this season and they weren't exactly good but they weren't offensively bad. Last night's episode was offensively bad. It was like watching someone's grandfather's idea for a Simpsons episode. Parodying American Idol? That's about the…

I don't know. I'm going to have to run that story by Glenn Beck so he can explain to me via chalkboard where George Soros falls into the equation.

Memories…
I remember when John Stewart started on The Daily Show as Kilborn's replacement and I was all, "HE'LL NEVER BE AS GOOD!" I don't think I've ever been so wrong about anything in my entire life.

Joel/Mike
I, too, particularly liked the bit about the difference between Joel and Mike as hosts, and I think that's also carried through to their respective post-MST3K projects. I enjoy Rifftrax but sometimes it seems unnecessarily aggressive. Cinematic Titanic, on the other hand, has more of the laid-back vibe of…

I'd say they should make Stuff White People Like into a sitcom, but that was EVERY SITCOM IN THE '80s.

I've always considered Jesse Eisenberg a poor man's Michael Cera. They're both pretty one-note performers, but I still can't help liking Cera for his Arrested Development work. Also: As much as I loved the series, I think a movie would be a bad idea. Sometimes dead is better.

I agree with Carnivoroused Anus. There is no real arc to the show anymore. Once Jim got bumped back to sales it was obvious they had no intention of changing the status quo.

Prog rock
Specifically, its modern variant in The Mars Volta and Coheed & Cambria. I like their tunes (at least the earlier stuff) but the lyrics are some of the most insipid, pretentious crap I've ever heard. Eww.

I'm going to be more generous and say season 3, but this year they've done a wedding special, a baby special, and a clip show. Time to retire to a farm out in the country.
