This happens sometimes. Finnegans Wake is the first book I ever read by James Joyce, and I thought it was a breeze.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend once where I was trying to explain the basic premise of "X-Men: First Class."

This is the precise reason I loved the movie

I read this as "BEEE-DOOing them at mass" and it was hysterical

@avclub-f73c052f26a9b04dea08638e15903bde:disqus That's true, actually. I guessed the alleged "twist" about ten minutes into the movie, which is one reason why I'm so certain Scorsese is conning us.

Shutter Island is great because the twist at the end may or may not be true, and you have no way of knowing.

Gosh, this is the funniest and saddest thing I've seen all day.

Mumford & Sons would be perfect for a Grapes of Wrath movie.

Amazing how I can I always tell from the first sentence, even without looking at the name, that it's NOT Cookie Monster

Yes, actually:

If The Office had maintained the integrity of its first couple of seasons, this is what would have ended up happening.

The funniest thing about Michael's hatred of Toby is that it was totally inexplicable. When they turned him into Jerry, you began to wonder if perhaps there was a reason Michael found him so loathsome.

He screwed it up, just like how he screws up everything else in his life.

Going back and watching Diversity Day, I was struck by how consistent Oscar's character was from the very beginning. He's always been weirdly defensive, brittle, and sort of coldly intellectual, but in an endearing way.

Well, if I have to pick just one, I would pick the first two.

Hey, I guess they don't teach you how to use a toaster oven in business school…

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BURN VICTIM?!!

One of my favorite callbacks in the whole show is in Season 4, "Dunder Mifflin Infinity," when everyone is calling Ryan "Fire guy!" and Andy gets down on his knees and pretends to be spewing flames with his mouth. "Fiiiiiire guy!" Cue Kevin: "Hey, you weren't there for that!"

This and "The Initiation" (Pretzel Day) might be the show's two most representative episodes.

Alright gang, time for Desert Island Movie. Remember, this isn't "Guilty Pleasure Movie." We can each choose three movies.
