It…doesn't look like that at all.

I guess they really offended you!

"That’s a lot of content, and a lot of guys in Buddy Holly glasses almost being blown to pieces by stray mortars."

At first, I was wondering what kind of super-hostile bro-gym actually mocks novice lifters. Then I read his post…the guy is literally FALLING OVER while squatting about 50 lbs. OK, they shouldn't make fun of him, and someone should offer to help, but the guy does sound a little like a clusterfuck in the gym. I

I also wanted to point out that the line about Mexicans taking the roles of Native Americans was OBVIOUSLY the show making fun of itself. If you missed that, you are too wrapped up in your own reservations.

One of the best shows, ever. For what it did, it is unsurpassed. Sorry if this sounds cliched, but the only show I would consistently rate as better would be The Wire. I miss Samurai Jack more than any other show that's gone off the air.

Seriously, Better Not Call Wynn

The first season is a big barrier for new entrants. I always tell people to just slog through it, because the best season of television short of The Wire's fourth is waiting for you on the other side.

It seems a shame to me that a lot of people (especially in that For Your Consideration article) seem inclined to nitpick the identity politics of Agent Carter. Does Justified get subjected to the same kind of analysis? It just seems strange that a show like Agent Carter, which works so hard to be progressive, gets

I agree. Ultimately, Birdman lacked a fulfilling structure. It seemed to hit a dramatic peak during Riggan's daughter's rant just past the halfway point. For me, her speech basically summarized the entire movie. It was an excellent monologue, but the problem was that it took all the subtext, and made it into text.

I might normally agree, but that photo above is just so nice to look at.

Interesting thing I found out on wikipedia is that T. Rex is about the same weight as an elephant. Now you KNOW that's a fight you'd want to see. Sure, we'd have to give odds to the T. Rex, but seriously don't count out the elephant.

That's a pretty good point. There were all kinds of things happening in PM that should have been cool, but ended up just being stuff. I think that the missing ingredient is caring about the characters. If you are truly uninvested in their experiences, then no amount of "action" will make up for it. If you are

We don't "moan" about Cumberbatch, we chuckle because it would not be possible for a name to be more quaintly British. It's not derisive, just funny. Like a cowboy named Buck West or something.

Industrial fans and warehouses had their place, but keep in mind that these were even more prevalent in hair metal…consider Patton Oswalt's description of every hair metal video situating the band in "a factory that manufactures sparks." By contrast, an empty warehouse - i.e. a sparkless one - represents the

I enjoy the fact that I don't even know what that means.

You'd have to assume so…after all, how else are they to know that the footprints are backwards in the first place? Unless someone wrote "I'm walking backwards" in the sand.

OK, you had me for a while. Two mistakes, though. First, that bit about the hip flasks etc. was just too much. Dead giveaway. Second, someone like this would never spell so well. I mean, you even get punctuation and capitalization right. That would be damn near impossible for someone of the mental capacity that
