I didn't know who Friedberg and Seltzer were so I looked it up. Turns out they are history's worst monsters. Hardly surprising, since one of them comes from Mississauga.

Shouldn't someone name their band Mechanical Asshole quick, before it gets taken?
Why? Wait, nevermind, I have a better question: is the Silver Surfer naked, or is he wearing a skin-tight silver suit that also covers his eyeballs? If he's naked, why doesn't he have any junk? People want to know. Not me, of course, just…people I know…
The moon head guy!!! I had completely forgotten him, but those commercials brought it all back. We had a VHS copy of "Short Circuit" that we taped off TV and the moon head was on in every single commercial break. What a weird campaign.
"In his push for 3-D to become not only the dominant format, but the only format in which movies are released…"
I can't tell if you're being facetious - has he actually said that? I can't imagine why anyone would want that, no matter how much they love 3D. Unless it's to make movie-making so prohibitively expensive…
"300 Hipsters" is a good movie to see in 3D. I like the part where they have to defend Park Slope from the Persians.
It's not underrated here.
They pretty much mention it in every article it can possibly be shoehorned into. I eagerly await mentions of Coraline in upcoming inventories, "Movies with letters in their names" and "Movies that exist".
But not "tix", please.
In 3D! It's like the human foibles are coming *right at you*!
I'm still not sure how I feel about the live musical guests on Comedy Bang Bang. I enjoyed the Yo La Tengo stuff last week, but the Bangles… not that I have anything against them, but the show kind of died whenever they played a song. Is this going to be a thing they do every week now?
God I hate that man. He outright dismisses so many things as garbage (maybe he thinks it makes him sounds sophisticated?)and it usually becomes clear in a few moments that he has no clue what he's even talking about.
I can't listen to Culture Gabfest anymore, though he's not the only reason - the other reason is the…
All my relatives are religious, so I hear alot of moaning about how hollywood has a liberal/nonreligious bias and how unfaaaiiiir it is.
Well, Christians, it's not our fault that we got all the good filmakers, all the good artists, all the good music. Hell, you guys are the MAJORITY and you can't even turn out a few…
I managed to make it through my whole life up to now without ever hearing "Butterfly Kisses". I wish I could have had just a little longer, but those carefree days are over now.
The thing about the Polaris Prize is that it comes with a bunch of money (I think $30,00 this year?) which is, in theory, supposed to go to support the band. It's not like they just give the prize to the band that needs the money most, but I do think that's one reason they've given it to more obscure bands in the…
Yeah, I have to agree. Hodgman himself is always funny, but the callers are getting worse and worse. The hipster married couples are insufferable - they seem really desperate to prove they're still all cool and quirky and shit.
Because I checked how to spell Galifianakis, but thought Tompkins was easy. Not easy enough, I guess…
And personally I think Iron and Wine is a pretty solid band and not "unabashedly whitebread" at all. I think the thing with them is that their songs are too pretty, so soccer moms hear them on a commercial and buy the CD, and then they get lumped in with a bunch of shittier bands when they really don't deserve it.
Yeah, I wouldn't shed any tears if they stopped covering it altogether.
Yeah, everyone I knew in college had at least one Cake album (and these weren't music nerds, by any stretch) so I think they must have been pretty popular at the time. Short Skirt, Long Jacket was EVERYWHERE. I still regularly see "Fashion Nugget" at HMV in the 2 for 20$ rack, so someone's still buying them.
I loved the Herzog thing. His accent was completely wrong, but it was still hilarious. I do feel like Thompkins really had to carry that episode almost by himself though - what was Zach Galifianakis doing? Maybe he was just really hung over or something?
