You know, everything I've heard about Chase over the years leads me to believe he really is a total asshole… but that being said, his criticism of the show as quoted above is, to my mind, 100% accurate, and the exact reason why I've long thought Community was absurdly overrated amongst the hip set.

"Bully omits or glosses over relevant details, eliding, for example, the fact that Tyler Long and Alex were both diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, apparently fearing that a mere mention might validate the contention that they were simply “weird.” 
Or maybe they gloss over it because it ISN'T relevant.

OK what the fuck is wrong with D'Angelo? He misses the the credits being played over the opening shot? He misses the abrasive musical score? He misses the IMPORTANT dialogue at the end being obscured by loud music?

He's not retarded, he's dyslexic

What's with this Cy Twombly bullshit? That's like the fifth time I've read his name on here this morning? Are you trying to start a meme or something? You don't start meme's, they develop of their own accord.

"but collectively, it proves more exhausting than exhilarating"
Thank you, Rabin, for not writing "more enervating", enervating being the most overused word in the AVClub lexicon. You have no idea how much I appreciate that.

LittleDeuceBigalowCoupe "That's total bullshit.  Here's just a couple people who don't act that way: Steven Wright, Mitch Hedberg, Woody Allen, Zach Galifianakis.  Now can you list 396 smug "Truth telling" comics for me?"
Wow, relax.

"the album suffers most from his inability to let it speak for itself. "

You disagree that his entire style is a rip-off of Tsukamoto?

Am I the only one who thinks every frame of this movie was a rip-off of Shinya Tsukamoto? It's like "Tetsuo: The Iron Mathematician" or something. Either that, or David Lynch.

" enervation "

OK, all bullshit aside - that woman is smoking hot. HOT. I would like to snuggle up to her under a warm blanket by the fire, with like a chocolate fondue, some strawberries and a half-empty bottle of pinot grigio nearby, while Chopin or Debussy plays softly in the background. And then I would like to have sex with her…

What blood? I just watched it full screen like ten times (because yes, I'm a pervert, and also I have no life. Don't judge me); didn't see any blood anywhere.

No, you're right on Rabin; he's only occasionally intolerable. But O'Neal is kind of like Owen Wilson or Steve Zahn - he's cool the first two or three times, then it just gets old. Real old.

Ben Stiller - not as cool as he used to be. Oh well. On another note…

“To not get Bresson is to not get the idea of motion pictures—it’s to have missed that train the Lumiére brothers filmed arriving at Lyon station 110 years ago.”
WOW that's a bunch of pretentious horseshit. My favorite filmmaker is Stanley Kubrick, but I know people, whose opinions I respect, and who know a lot about…

Hey everybody!

Am I the only one who thinks O'neal's particular brand of snark is now so well codified it borders on self parody?

I think the problem is that in America, what we think of as sex is really just masturbation. Certainly American films avoid sex like the plague, for the most part, even as they love to show half-naked ladies every chance they get. For instance, is Megan Fox really a sex symbol? Or is she a masturbatory fantasy? See…

Unless he's talking about her neighbors… opening. In which case it's perfect.
