This show had a perfect example of what I call "TV behavior".  TV behavior is actions that would be considered to be way over the line in real life but when done of TV are considered grand or bold and wholly admirable.

Now it has the same exact number of non-white cast members as Girls!

It's like this:
C'mon, everyone knows that this is going to be a pretty underwhelming record- seriously, you guys. You know this…

Is M.I.A still someone that people talk about and listen to?  Because, seriously, I had completely forgotten all about her until about 3 minutes ago.  No lie- I had not given her a thought nor heard about her or read about her or nothing- she was just gone and to my mind it's like she was never there at all- until

"On the other hand if he's trying to make a bunch of money he could be doing a lot worse"

This guy wants respect soooo badly and he has in his head such an immature idea of what an artist is and how an artist behaves…his psyche is so polluted and his head is so far up his own ass…I know this is probably not going to go over well here but this kid actually has potential but he is so thoroughly blowing every

Doesn't this kid have anyone in his life that could tell him just how badly he is blowing it?

DaVinci's Inquest!

Wow, Twin Peaks back up from someone called Firewalkwithme- I feel…validated.

Morrisey is to vegans what evangelicals are to religion…

If you are giggling through Serpico you are not really enjoying Serpico-

Back in the day you Pacino and DeNiro were right there with Brando on the acting Mount Rushmore-
Now?
I'll say this- at least Pacino still goes for it- he is uneven as hell but he is always swinging for the fences and when he's bad he is at least fun to watch. DeNiro, on the other hand, actually makes me feel guilty for

Seriously, you can't enjoy a movie because someone parodied it?

Oh, ok- nobody should say anything critical of the show because YOU like it and anyway she should just be able to take the money and run because… you think she's a genius.

Rarely motivated- it takes a combination of boredom and "Oh my god someone is wrong on the internet!" to get me to post.

If we are going to start giving demerits for artists being annoying there won't be any art left-

I don't see him influencing Apatow so much as creating a market for Apatow's work.  I think when you look at it in that perspective it's pretty inarguable.  I'm not really comparing them as artists- Apatow is clearly a more sophisticated writer and filmmaker.  I'm not even really that big a fan of Kevin Smith's

You leave my Kevin alone!

You know what? I think Kevin Smith is particularly under-estimated as an artist and filmmaker.  I think that what he lacks in visual technique (more on that in a moment) he more than makes up for in narrative inventiveness.  In terms of comedy the future will probably judge him as one the most important filmmakers of
