Ouch. I love Peter Serafinowicz and I feel bad for him being in that movie.

It was awful, awful garbage from beginning to end. It wasn't interesting, exciting, funny, entertaining or worthwhile in any way. Bottom 3 of the year for me.
I hated Eastbound and Down. Unlikeable character, unfunny writing.
I saw that one where she's a tour guide (in Greece!) on a plane, and while it wasn't horrible enough to make me turn it off, it was a complete nothing movie. I'd already forgotten it ten seconds after the end credits.
I didn't hate WKUK, to the extent I even bought the DVD of season 1. Miss March, though, was so awful that it made me hate them retroactively.
Re: the show finally getting good, I find it a little sad they're clearly compressing tons of storyline into relatively few episodes. If they'd not messed around so much in the first series and the first few episodes of this, they might not have been cancelled. I hope this series teaches Joss Whedon and all other TV…
Not an awful episode, but a whole lot of nothing, really. I'm heartily sick of them referencing stuff that happens after Ted meets their mother, because we all know by now that it's only going to happen when the show's ratings are in the toilet and they need to pull it out - or if the show's being cancelled and…
I give you Canceraids-stein
Ken Jeong
Completely irrelevant in this episode. The more of him we see, the less funny I find the episode. The show doesn't need him, and I'm not sure why he's around - the Principal is as much of an antagonist as this show needs.
It's absolutely full of the most lunatic plotlines too. Bones's dad, who murdered the deputy director of the FBI but is now allowed to do a job with regular access to children; Zach being that serial killer's helper, then being let out of a high-security facility to help them out; the guest appearance of Stewie…
Most ratings on this site seem to be not from some objective "this thing is better than that thing", but from a subjective idea of what it should be like - why 30 Rock gets graded harshly, because the reviewer expects a lot from such an awesome series.
Fuck games reviews. Absolute pieces of shit barely ever get below 65 on most review sites, as if the site owners are afraid of offending anyone. I once had a job reviewing games for a small website, and gave "Cartoon Network Racer", maybe the worst game I've ever played ever, 2 out of 10. They refused to run it…
Jorge Von Salsa - I'm with you on Flashman games. They'd be absolutely awesome.
I'm a Brit so my times are all out of whack, so it's unlikely I'll be able to participate in any live chats. But, I loved my first book club book and I look forward to reading more in the future.
I'm not sure Castle counts. I stopped this week with that show, because it's not funny enough to just be a sitcom and the plots are so incredibly formulaic that it doesn't work as a decent procedural.
Yeah, the Jenna thing came out of left field. For a show like this to not have the "she was just kidding to maintain her spot" reveal was just weak. The show would never have done this before.
I said "thing" too many times there. Sorry.
That "creativity" thing was awful, and the whole Verdukian thing was the sort of thing this show would have rejected on a first draft a couple of seasons ago. I'm sure you enjoyed it, and I laughed too, but it's nowhere near as good as it used to be.
I don't get why people are so desperate to read a review from someone who just agrees with them? Does Rabin not liking it all that much (and think on, the rating was a B minus, not a D) affect your enjoyment of it at all?
Absolutely. Not a great episode, but that little bit was gold.
