Exactly. Nothing about Blaine is captivating enough for you to root for them at the end. He's just a boring douche, and not terribly attractive.

Well, those few Aussie actresses are an exception. The rule for American actresses remains the same. (Just to note, Anna Paquin is also a kiwi.)

Jesus. He is fucking horrible. Oddly, I have spoken to Brits that find him funny.

Touche.

Weirdly, they're not as conventionally attractive, but far more "sexy" than their American counterparts. Just look at Tumblr wetting it's collective panties over Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Can you prove this? As far as I know if they're working in the US, they're paid commensurately. Hugh Laurie was the second highest-paid actor on TV during the final run of House.

There are exceptions to every rule.

The simplest answer is usually the correct one - the Brits are far better actors, with a great deal more range. The end. I'm glad the Brits and Aussies have taken over, because watching crappy American actors is no fun. You're also right about acting cliches - the American actors that are supposedly "good" seem to…

Kumail Nanjiani's story about John Mayer has completely cemented my loathing for John Mayer. What a worthless prick.

Here's the thing about bitching about McDonald's and big-budget, low-quality Hollywood movies: if you don't live in a large, diverse city, it may be very difficult for you to FIND higher-quality food, and higher-quality entertainment. People consume them sometimes because they're cheap and easy and they don't have…

There's a big difference between liking something that you know is crap, but liking it just because you find it entertaining, and liking something shitty without being critical about it. There's nothing wrong with criticism, there's just something wrong with pointlessly being a dick. I enjoy the camp aspect of many…

I highly, highly recommend Searching for Sugarman, but I honestly think that my enjoyment of it was enhanced by not knowing anything about it beforehand. My friend wanted to see it, and I didn't have other plans. Not knowing anything, I was really able to be transported along with the story. It's a shame it's been so…

Yes.

You know, this would have been perfectly fine if she had just kept the blonde hair. It would have come across as an homage to Native fashion. As it is, she's clearly dressing up as a member of a different ethnicity, which is weird.

Hmm . . . after reviewing tvtropes.org, I realize you may be right, so I will amend my statement to "dream episodes are usually dumb and crappy."

Dream episodes always indicate shark jumping.

"Wasn't there an episode where he went back in time to Medieval Scotland?"

Fun fact - RDA was originally on track to become a professional hockey player, but a knee injury killed that career, so he was forced to become a wealthy and beloved television actor. Tough breaks.

If by "taking issue with the format of the show" is Hardwick and sidekicks constantly interrupting their guest and talking over each other, than yes? I don't think those things are actually integral to the format, but maybe I'm crazy. I can have great conversations with people without acting like a dick.

Your argument appears to be "The Nerdist cannot be improved upon." My argument boils down to "The Nerdist could be improved upon." If Hardwick & Co. are content with the status quo, including annoying their audience (including the plenty of people, who love it - presumably they're not mindless, and don't love it…
