We'll have to wait and see. And it's not just with Patton Oswalt that this kind of thing happens. Looking at you Todd VanDerWerf and Nerd Curious!

Agreed. This was a really good story. I can only imagine what it must've been like to hear that. At least with some guys saying it in a jerkish fashion, it could inspire me to just say, eh, fuck em. But to get a completely reasonable argument about why my comedy sucks would just be really devastating and hard to come…

@avclub-489acfbfa4d2424403acb81699170ac2:disqus Indeed! And I have another one coming up on Thursday with someone else. That one should be equally awesome, since it'll be a going to different bookstores date. Ever since I decided to stop just going to cafes for dates, they've been much more fun for me.

While I wish I could be like E. Buzz Miller last week and say I got the job I
interviewed for, the truth is that I didn’t get it. So, the search goes on. It
was a bit disappointing, but I mostly took it well. In the meantime, there’s a
bit of pop culture to be explored.

Completely off-topic, but whither Nerd Curious? There hasn't been one since the first installment and I'm wondering if it's fully and completely dead. If so, I'm sorry to hear that, as I was really looking forward to that as a recurring feature from you, Todd.

Nevah evah EVAH!!

@avclub-489acfbfa4d2424403acb81699170ac2:disqus Understandable. It's a little hard for me to compare, since I've only read Becky Shaw but saw Rapture. I'd say they're about equal, with maybe a slight edge to Rapture, since the discussions about feminism and horror films were really fascinating to me. As I said in the…

@avclub-489acfbfa4d2424403acb81699170ac2:disqus Yeah, that teaser for Monsters University was a whole lot of fun. Made me anticipate the film much more than before and also this, along with actually seeing Brave, made me even more annoyed at this IndieWire article I read a bit ago that said that Pixar was on the…

@avclub-29501df08e5d9ae59e432e4f188d3735:disqus Super glad to hear the news about your job! Congrats, man. Nice that it wasn't a super long time waiting to gain new employment. Here's hoping it'll be better than your old one, or if not better, at least not significantly, detrimentally worse.

This was a decent week for me. Little more laid back in pop culture consumption than
other weekends.

Snuggles the Bear was pretty funny, but my favorite part of the episode was their impression Guy Fieri. I always love it when they find a celebrity, even if it's one not in the movie, and just after them one after another.
