Is it really worth inventing situations wholesale just so you can work in a reference? Maybe people thought you were actually being halfway clever by applying an AD quote to a real life situation…. just saying. Just posting the AD quote in full would make more sense.

Seriously, it's not like you're forced to subscribe to Netflix for life. Just do the free trial and see how much you end up using it.

Except now expectations for a new Star Wars movie are pretty darn low, so it will be probably be ridiculously overpraised like Abrams' first Star Trek movie was.

Honestly, if you guys are expecting it to be better than season 3, you really shouldn't. There's no way it will be any better than on par with that season.

Btw what do you have against Korra Nathan Ford? I can't really get into Avatar but I really enjoyed Korra: the animation is much better, the characters seem a lot deeper than in the other show, and there isn't any of the draggy filler. Admittedly I've only seen the first season of Avatar, I hear it really improves.

I was confused by that as well. Apparently Erik doesn't understand how percentages work.

In what universe? The first one was fun but the others were simultaneously boring and overstuffed. The first couple seasons of the revival were far better.

You've watched the whole show multiple times but you don't consider yourself a fan?… I'm baffled by this. I definitely consider myself a fan of a show if I watch every episode once.

I actually kind of hated Sunrise when I first saw it: it seemed so smarmy and superficial. But Before Sunset actually makes it a better movie in retrospect. I'm glad I saw them so close together though, I don't know if I would have been that interested in a sequel to Before Sunset just on it's own merits.

It just goes to prove that any show can be underwhelming to the right person. Then again I don't really care for The Wire so….

I actually liked Prometheus, but smart is certainly not a word I would ever associate with it…

I love ya Craig, but I honestly don't know why you post stuff like this if you're not directly seeking out these kinds of responses. There's no pride in deciding to not see a movie.

Man that was a terrible show…. yet I watched every episode for some reason. The lengths I will go to just to see more of Becki Newton…

Yeah I don't see how this premise could be sustained over multiple seasons. I hope they at least got to wrap it up in the last episode to some degree, rather than it just being another episode, though I'm not holding my breath.

Seriously, apparently New Girl of all things is the only decent network comedy to premiere since 2009 and still be on the air. I kind of wonder if non-CBS networks will eventually just give up on comedy, it doesn't seem to do very well in the ratings at all these days.

Sue me, I thought this was a hell of a lot better than Ben and Kate.  There was too much schmaltz but I like the premise and the cast is a lot of fun. I'm sad this has no chance, I've been rooting for Becki Newton since she stole every scene in Ugly Betty.

I guess he means Vin Diesel, who is actually 45. I didn't know there were rumors he was closeted though…

That would actually be really interesting: I bet the way you thought of their relationship would be extremely different from people who saw them in order. I suggest you go for it and report back to us @LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus !

It's a clever postmodern deconstruction in the style of The Human Centipede 2!

Yeah, he really goes all in for the blockbuster film = C, indie films = A thing doesn't he? I assume he didn't have to give out grades for his earlier reviews though, so he could still just be getting the hang of it… it's a really odd and unwieldy system, and I'm not sure any of the reviewers here really have the hang
