Great Job, Meredith
I agree that Todd was way too easy on the pilot episode. And didn't he say this one was a great episode of TV? Explanation is needed.

Now don't fuck it up.

Hawaii: The Fighter and The Kids Are All Right are not that good, no. One is a gritty version of Rocky, the other would make a swell pilot for a Showtime series. You decide which is which!

No, I like Nathan Fillion, but I think he's too old for Uncharted. But surely there's a young actor somewhere in Hollywood who has more charm and charisma than Mark Wahlberg. Like, uh…any of them?

Now this just gives him the power to cast Mark Wahlberg in the Uncharted movie. *Big Darth Vader-sized NOOOOOOO!!!*

7 out of 10 for me, too. And out of those I would have nominated 5 for Best Picture, so not bad.

Am I Dreaming?
No directing nod for Christopher Nolan is disappointing. I think I'd kick David O. Russell off that list, as the only memorable thing about The Fighter is Christian Bale's performance.

Just one of many reasons never to visit HitFix. In addition to its fugliness.

Failed Blockbusters
I have a deep affection for much maligned, wannabe blockbuster extravaganzas that everyone else hates. Ang Lee's Hulk. Speed Racer. The Spirit. Yes, THE SPIRIT. Dragonball: Evolution. The list goes on.

El Santo, not every YA book involving teens in love is a response to Twilight, believe it or not. Kudos to Zack for not going all EW and automatically comparing the book to Stephenie Meyer's shitfest.

America, Fuck No
This remake of Skins is a great example of all that is wrong with America, and I don't mean that in a PTC-inspired "save our children!" sorta way. I mean that it's absolutely ridiculous that we can't have swearing or nudity anywhere on broadcast television or basic cable. Heaven forbid a child see…

The Social Network Really IS That Good
One thing I find fascinating/annoying is when people turn against something because it receives excessive praise, even if that praise may not be hyperbolic. I have a friend who is starting to hate The Social Network for taking home every award imaginable, but of course she has…

Skins
I love the original Skins. Exactly as Todd said, it's such a thrill to get a peek into a new character's life each week, and the fact that the cast keeps rotating means you never end up with a "Jack gets tattoos" episode.

Well, an employer could do random drug testing, but then half of Hollywood may get fired.

I Love Community, But…
"If you can't get on its particular wavelength, it's going to seem a little cold and clinical to you, and the fact that its fanbase can be a little … relentless certainly doesn't help matters. But if you ARE on its wavelength, it can almost seem like it's speaking directly TO you."

Too Many Larfs?
I'm guessing they couldn't fit it in alongside such classic HBO comedies as Hung and How To Make It In America.

Oh, Jenelle…
Whether or not MTV is paying them, horrible moms like Jenelle exist everywhere. I can't blame the show for her behavior, though it would be nice to see her punted out of a moving vehicle at the end of the season. Barring that, maybe a wacky spin-off where she becomes roomies with Amber?

If reading My Year of Flops (in stores now!) has taught me anything, it's that Rabin goes out of his way to see movies this dismal. God bless him.

Good Riddance to Dollhouse
Also, is it safe to assume the person who did the Dollhouse write-up has never seen a Joss Whedon show? Someone getting shot in the face immediately after a declaration of love is a ginormous Whedon cliche, not a mind-blowing twist. Even the Buffy comic book returned to that tired ol'…

How To Make It On A Show No One Watches
Holy shit, so THAT'S where Lake Bell, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Shannyn Sossamon went. What an all-star cast!
