The Juno backlash is so tiresome. You know what else has unrealistically clever dialogue? Joss Whedon shows. Gilmore Girls. The Social Network. His Girl Friday.

Scream 3 is decent enough, but not nearly as great as the first two. It just has the misfortune of being written by Ehren Kruger, who is still getting jobs WHY?
As a gay guy, I found this episode edging on offensive with its crowd of stereotypical flaming queens. While there certainly are plenty of gays like that in the world, it was just so broad and unfunny. It's like this show is trying to set us all back about 20 years.
So nice I said it thrice! Crap.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
"Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" is a great movie to watch as a kid for all the obvious reasons, but only when I saw it a couple years ago did I realize just how dark, noir-ish, and sometimes overtly sexual it is. Let me tell ya, that Jessica Rabbit is SCANDALOUS.

No clue how those figures work out, but if Landgraf's math also triples the anemic ratings for Archer then I'm all for it.
Ratings Woes
"To say nothing of Sons Of Anarchy's 8 million and Justified's 7 million viewers, two of the network's high marks."
I agree, I don't think I've ever read a TVDW review that was this fun and entertaining. Reality shows look good on him!
Hipster Fail
I agree about the general distaste for Greg and Krystal, who seem about as authentically down home Southern as, I don't know, Colin Firth. It doesn't help that the names they've chosen for their restaurant seem aimed at the lowest common denominator, and also vaguely insulting. Can "Breadnecks" be far…
Damn
All I wanted was to see James Newman get hit by a bus, preferably in extreme slo-mo so I could cherish every moment. If they can't give me that, I have no reason to watch.
I really want to pick this up, though I'm wondering if my local Best Buy will bother carrying it. At least there will be large cardboard displays for How Do You Know.
Shocking That Nothing Was Revealed in the Finale!
Carrie, you perfectly summed up all the reasons I gave up on this show about 5 episodes back: the constant wheel spinning of the mystery elements, the endless plot lines about romantic entanglements, the increasing ridiculousness of A's identity, and the fact that…
Hmm…
No shitty Foo Fighters music on Glee? Sounds good to me!
Alright, someone explain.
Video Games
I don't know if you want to count video games as art (someone get Ebert in here), but for me it would be any sort of epic RPG-related game. When I hear about games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, or Final Fantasy XXIVXCMI, with their epic, novelistic stories that change the lives of everyone who plays them,…
I enjoyed the ending of Mockingjay, but I thought the book as a whole was a failure. What sarCCastro saw as Katniss being "shell-shocked," I saw as Katniss sitting around in a bunker doing fuck-all for hundreds of pages. She's more passive than Bella Swan in that book, which may be realistic due to her trauma, but…
Beware Mockingjay
The final book in the trilogy, Mockingjay, has to be one of the worst conclusions to a book series I've ever read. Catching Fire also had its fair share of issues.
Ugh, I loathe Paul. His whispery rasp is the sound I would hear if I woke up to someone molesting me in my sleep. His voice makes me feel violated.
