I would like to take this opportunity to call dibs on being considered the physical manifestation of the internet, for Gosling-related purposes only

Hopefully this new working relationship will go badly and force Gosling and Eva Mendes to break up so that he can be with his real true love, the Internet

How many skins do you think I can fit in my mouth?

The last few books definitely aren't perfect, but I actually really loved how everything tied together at the end (the epilogue was super unnecessary but I'm ignoring that now).  For some reason Deathly Hallows is infinitely re-readable for me.

Agreed on enjoying the structure of the first 3, but I think the most frustrating part of AFFC and ADWD is how extremely delayed the gratification is.  I enjoy exposition and world-building and stuff but it's a huge amount to read without much plot advancement (also, for me, it's harder to remember what even happens…

Did you try 11/22/63?  I haven't read all that much Stephen King because I don't enjoy being afraid (love the "Different Seasons" novellas but haven't been able to bring myself to read any of the classic novels), but I couldn't put 11/22/63 down.  Wasn't totally satisfied with the ending but I still recommend it to…

@avclub-843f7125a533748d5477271f8eebd9b1:disqus I'd say opposite notes were needed for the 2nd and 3rd (especially 3rd) books of the Hunger Games trilogy.  I thought the first one was fun but then the 2nd and 3rd were generally boring and so much telling rather than showing.  Also it really just turned into "which boy…

I don't know if people consider it too YA or anything but I still really love the "His Dark Materials" trilogy (Golden Compass, etc). All published!  Only 3 books!

I saw Mission Impossible 3 in theaters with college friends because we thought it would be fun/dumb, but the Philip Seymour Hoffman was actually terrifying and a really great villain.  Also one of my favorite things is the face he's making in Big Lebowski the whole scene when they're in the limo unwrapping the toe…

Would your ex feel better if you explained that looking like Matt Damon means that you probably also look like Jesse Plemons aka Landry from FNL?

Not only stage time, but stage time for free and with an audience there to see your show and all the tech is taken care of, plus exposure that might come of that stage time.  UCB also has creative directors on staff that provide feedback to nurture the up and coming shows, so you can also get informed opinions in…

@___:disqus and the Nets!  How had I never noticed all the team names rhyme??

@avclub-b88b3ac1b5fd940f9b4970631eb13cc2:disqus  that's a good question…I'm not sure.  That would be kind of cool if I could claim them, but I don't know if there's a difference in terms of whether you took them for college credit or not.

The classes definitely cost money (I take them), but financially it's kind of run separate from the theater.  Tickets pay the theater bills, and money for classes goes to the teachers/school staff/UCB4/general fund for UCB (like if they want to open another theater).  I've really enjoyed the classes (and if you're in…

It's explained well in the podcast linked above - UCB was established as a space primarily for sketch/improv performances, and considering the number of performers that go up in a night everyone's pay would be basically non-existent, especially since they try and keep ticket prices so low.  Also since they do things…
