Teddy Roosevelt was actively disliked by A LOT of powerful Republicans of his day for a whole bunch of reasons (not least of which that fact that he was borderline insane) but he was also an incredibly popular 'war hero' so putting him in the VP position was supposed to end his career before he had a chance to run…

Goldsmith is grand and epic. Horner has immediacy and excitement. Personally, I think they are both top-tier for film scores.

I think the problem is: how do you define success for a commune? Is it one where everybody gets along until they move on to other parts of their lives? Is it one where some of the people stay in it until they die? There's a religious commune not far from where I am that was founded decades ago and is still going…

I live in northern New England and avacados really only appeared in stores around here about five years ago. For us, avacado toast is newer than Korean food. Food trends are weird.

I can't speak for the Muppets, but the Powerless writers room really, really feels like it was ten 50-60 year old white guys, one token girl, and one token nerd.

Oh man. I think I enjoyed that show, but cannot remember a single goddamn thing about it.

Or maybe you're some kind of bizarro-troll that contradicts everybody with a positive attitude and helpful comments.

Are you one of the show's writers? I hope not. That would be so embarrassing for everybody here.

I do hope his motivation really does follow the comic and he wants to kill enough people to make Death fall in love with him because the Devil told him that would work. Also he has a helicopter.

I was once in a meeting between a marketing department and an accounting department wherein the marketing department gave a long (rhetorically empty) presentation about the organization's new culture of language. After listening politely the head of accounting stood up and basically said that if any of her employees…

The AV Club: "I review these movies with a rag on a stick. Hurr hurr hurr."

Haha… "were."

I was just at a conference where a relatively well-respected political scientist spoke about his forthcoming book that uses methodologies normally present in sports analysis to explain modern political events. He notes that the math starts working from 2004 onward, but solidifies in 2010. Basically, a huge percentage…

Did Moe ever get that cell phone?

That's really how this show should have been structured in the first place. Focus on these ambitious young Washington up and comers that really want to be doing good, then blow up the government. Suddenly there's this new guy who's President from out of nowhere and he puts you in positions of authority unimaginable…

Can I have mine without some form of rape?

I recall that there was a short backup story in one of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen paperbacks that introduced Jeeves and Wooster into Lovecraft. Bertie is too stupid to be affected by the madness and Jeeves, of course, just owns them.

Once had that happen with earwigs. One of those big plastic Disney VHS cases. Opened it up and they came pouring out.

Considering that interviewing the guy seems like a combative experience to say the least, I'd imagine that being interviewed BY him must be like a thesis defense where the panel member is insanely dedicated to his own theoretical narrative.

Voyager's highs were higher than Enterprise's, but they were stranded in the center of a creatively dead series. Buried alive. Buried alive.
