"The film will be helmed by Argentinian director Martin Guigui, whose previous credits include the little-seen Dennis Quaid thriller Beneath The Darkness and National Lampoon’s Cattle Call, suggesting he has little to lose by making a sequel to a Martin Scorsese film, and certainly won’t mind seeing his work released

I just finished watching the commentary track for the Community episode "Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking," in which Dan Harmon basically spends the entire time complaining that mockumentary shows like The Office or Parks & Rec are taking the easy way out: it's much, much easier to do comedy when you can just cut

So why do I have to put the VCR on 3, if Bones is on 5?

"One of the greatest movies ever made."—Ben Lyons.

Don't you just love that mustache?

For what it's worth, the play, at least with its original cast, is fucking awesome.

Was she a great big fat person?

Don't drink the milk. There's a light bulb in it.

Not to mention their growing army of Angry Birds.

I wish that it were still possible to make a living as a novelist on the midlist, and that bookstores still carried a full inventory of backlist books, especially genre fiction. Thanks a lot, Thor Power Tool Company v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
