Thank you for digging that up sequence. Well, I'd definitely agree that, of the core group of four plus Noel, you certainly don't look like hipsters, or at least how I typically think of hipsters. Josh has a little bit of it though. I guess I kind of wonder whether they feel the commentators are more mature enough to…

@Eliminator: I'd say that Osmosis Jones qualifies as a comedy, but Bill Murray doesn't actually do anything particularly funny in it. The comedy was saved for the animated part of it.

I haven't seen it since it came out, which made me about 8 years old or so, yet I still remember a ton of it. I think it might've also been one of the films that I saw more than one time, which for a while was limited to the the Star Wars films and Godzilla movies. The clips remind me of how great it is and how I…

@wolfmansRazor: In what sense? I know he's big and a little bit of a brand, but I don't think he's quite at Lucas level. I mean, he hasn't tried to develop anything new out of Seinfeld or gone back to reedit footage of Seinfeld to make Tom's Restaurant even more realistic or something like that.

I'll second the need for a top books of the year list. While the NY Times does always produce a really solid list of books, I always like this site for giving more attention to genre works which tend not to be acknowledged as much by mainstream papers.

True. His voice is definitely suited for commercial voiceover work, if he ever needed a second job.

Can Anyone Tell Me About The Happytown Finale?
Because I don't feel like trying to see if it's online anywhere and the description for it sounds really awesome.

I Find It Kind Of Interesting
If you go back to one of the old Ask The AV Club features, there was a question asked about why staff's pictures weren't up. The reason given, and this is purely from memory so it may be off by a bit, was that they wanted there to be less of a focus on the reviewers as people and more on…

What's Astonishing To Me
What really astonishes me is that, according to BoxOfficeMojo, How Do You Know cost $120 million to make. To put this in perspective, according to this same website, Tron: Legacy, with some exceedingly expensive special effects, only cost $50 million more than How Do You Know. Are Reese…

@Jean-Luc: Not sure whether you're joking or not, but I'm almost certain that too is a joke since the original series aired way before Costello released any music and I've never read of any particular love of Elvis Costello for any of the other series, enough to include lots of references at any rate.

@Eponymous: Actually, I decided to browse Wikipedia to see what other episodes Peter Allan Fields wrote and, assuming Wiki is right, he actually didn't write The Visitor. The Visitor was written by Michael Taylor, who didn't write any TNG episode but did write three other DS9 episodes, including In The Pale Moonlight.

Actually, the list is going from least worst to good god, get out of there and do not think twice. Which perfectly describe The Last Airbender.

Oooh, rebel, are ya now? Fine bit of business that, eh?

Oh, @ killbot: True. I just tend to class Sci-Fi and comics into it's own particular form of nerddom.

I only say that because there are people who don't care what he did and say he still should be writing. That's all. No need to try to win any douchey points.

I actually was thinking that Babylon 5 would also be another possible replacement for B:TAS. I'm just not sure if Babylon 5 has the same level of support here that Batman clearly does.

Obligatory Leonard Pierce
Considering that this was originally meant to be a Leonard Pierce piece, I feel this is as appropriate as anywhere to mourn both the loss of him as a writer and, most pertinent to this section, the loss of Batman: TAS write ups. He was a man I really enjoyed reading, someone I really could…

@Lovecraft: This may be late and I don't know if you'll see, but I definitely didn't mean to imply that Steven Page actively harmed anyone other than himself. What I meant by him is that he was one of the few rock stars that I could never see really living the rock start life of lots of drugs. He, and a lot of the…

I should also note that I have opinion on Chris Brown since I haven't heard his music, nor do I particularly care to.

The Image Of The Artist
The section about Chris Brown got me thinking of a topic that's been discussed before but is relevant here: how much of the personal lives of the artists should get into the way of our perceptions of the music itself?
