The only movie I ever wanted to walk out of was Bruce Almighty but I stuck with it since my friends seemed to be enjoying it and I'd have to wait for them in the lobby anyway.

I'm planning on seeing him when he swings through Madison in a couple weeks.  I missed him the last time around and my friend that was there said it was one of the better shows she'd seen.

I'm excited as well.  I saw a few mentions of Classics of Love through Asian Man and for some dumb reason I didn't put 2 and 2 together.  I was like, hey that band's name must be a tribute to one of my all-time favorite Common Rider songs, I should check them out. 

Yeah, I caught one of those shows too.  It was a crazy experience, especially because for some of the show the lighting was so low that I couldn't really make out the stage from my seat.  That's not to say I didn't enjoy it - it was one of the better concerts I saw that year.

I love the book as well and I've always avoided the movie since I felt it couldn't ever live up to the source material.  So maybe I should give it a chance…

Man, it's been a few years since I watched Farscape.  I absolutely loved that show five years ago.

I watched Texas Killing Fields on Friday night and was impressed.  The pace was fairly slow but it really worked for the movie.  It had been recommended to me by a friend that described it as a movie about shoddy policework by Michael Mann's daughter but I thought it was better than that.  It was kind of refreshing to…

Good point.  I don't have cable or a DVR so the shows that I watch regularly are the ones that are streamed on Hulu.  My schedule is way too full with traveling for work and all the shit I do for fun (basketball games, shows, etc.) that I never am really able to tune in at any specific time during the week.  If I…

Yes, definitely.

I have to agree.  I liked Tom better when he was a dick, not with the writers trying to make him likeable.  I was watching this with a couple friends and when one said she thought Tom was so adorable my reaction was, "Really, I just want to see him get punched in the face."

Ike Reilly is pretty fucking awesome.

She's hot in a mean Muslim kind of way on Shameless.

Well people generally agree that rape is wrong too.  This movie doesn't treat either of those scenes differently, one of the reasons I like it so much.  I'd argue that Ronnie is more sympathetic in the earlier scene.

I never watched the Two Bens version of the show since I hated them both so very much but for whatever reason (lost remote, drunkenness?) that episode was the few I watched all the way through.  When Mankiewicz said something about Patton Oswalt being thrown into an oven for a minor discretion I made it a point to see…

@avclub-230a11d4f53fa5ecb16c69d668eb8456:disqus I pretty much default to Jessica Hopper's opinion on most things.  She sums it up perfectly with "The
Backlash: It's About the Music, LOL"

The lead singer of Titus Andronicus did a cover of "Video Games" and it's pretty awesome.  http://youtu.be/ve_3yuNPRNc

I felt the same way about Ides.  Most of the plot developments were fairly predictable but at the same time I was thoroughly engrossed from start to finish. 

I watched The Ides of March on Friday night and it was enjoyable with a shitload of talent in the cast.  I carried my Giamatti kick over to the next day and watched Ironclad Saturday morning.  It was so wonderfully terrible that it inspired me to start day drinking at 10:30.

I agree.  I really enjoyed the Stoller interview for most of the reasons you mentioned.  And the Auto-tuned song he did about the whole Nerdist thing at the end was fucking hilarious. 

I've got the two 7" releases.  They're quite good and I'm probably going to get the full-length at some point.
