The real meat on the Haddie bone is to suss out where in the episode her presence can ALMOST be felt: Oh! Just then! Adam was hanging up the phone after a nice check-in with who? That's right, his delightful daughter Haddie! Things are good, but that one professor has it in for her. And she has a really good feeling…

I'm Perd Hapley, and I just realized I'm not holding a microphone.
But I forgot to mention that Sam Worthington also converts oxygen into carbon dioxide, which nurtures plant life.

I would love it if Her won something and the award was presented by Mae Whitman.

The level of difficulty in re-creating the first two was obviously high, so I thought it was both a gyp and kind of funny that they did Too Close For Comfort last time, which is nothing but a series of character-intro shots. They learned to set the bar low, maybe?

Of all the actors in Avatar, Sam Worthington was one of them. When he delivers his lines, you can almost always tell what words he's saying. The individual shots that make up a movie usually require a focal point, and in many of the shots of his films, Sam Worthington is that.

For the last few years at Oscar time I've wanted to overturn a table in the middle of L.A. County and start shouting "You're better than this! Is this really what you think of as the best you're capable of? The King's Speech?! Argo?! For Chrissakes, nobody is ever going to watch that movie again! The Best Picture…

Argo is a sadly apt comparison. It works just fine, but a year from now nobody will remember a thing about it, much less ten or fifty years from now. I think The King's Speech is still the winner [loser] in that race — as if the award was for "Most Pleasant, Inoffensive Time-Consumer."

Yes, the pacing! I kept thinking, "This is like Casino if the scenes lasted ten minutes instead of thirty seconds."

I can't complain about Lawrence because she was easily the best thing about the film. Gift horse; mouth; etc.

That one was pretty good. The rest are a bit blah, I've felt.

Well… I do know people named Horsey, Dozer and Buff.

It's funny, my daughter is so attached to the Tim Drake Robin from the Animated Series that she doesn't like it when Dick Grayson shows up. I haven't even told her about Jason or Damian.
I thought she's like to see a scene from DKR with Carrie Kelly because she's also a red-haired girl, but nope. Her allegiance to…

I'll grab a trade, thanks. You know, the Tim Drake from the last season of Batman TAS is hands-down my daughter's favorite superhero. A year ago I couldn't have even told you why they still have a Robin, but now I get it: he's a gateway for little kids. They can't exactly relate to Batman, but they're very excited…

Listen, the Big Dig took decades, cost billions and caused endless aggravation for all of Boston, but now it takes a few minutes less to get to the airport!

As a Bostonian, I love a roasting of our absurd local accent. I really, really do. But as a fan of non-lazy comedy, I have to implore Newswire writers (and their counterparts accross the internet) to keep in mind that nobody in Boston has ever, ever unironically said the phrase "wicked pissah". It means nothing. It's…

May I piggyback by asking the same question, but for Batman and Superman?
I have a confession: I grew up as a Marvel guy to the core. I owned every issue of all the New Universe titles, but I had never read a Batman comic until I was an adult. But now I have two three-year-old kids who are obsessed with the DC stable…

I anticipate that the reaction to the presence of this feature on the AV Club will be exactly the same as the reaction of Lucas in the movie Lucas to the sudden intrusion of Charlie Sheen into his friendship with Kerri Green.

That's what I thought too. But you raise an excellent point: It's now the standard-bearer for cinematic sideboob.

I totally agree that The Hobbit "is its own thing and should be allowed to be judged as its own thing, not on how much it does or does not actually reflect the thing it came from," and I've been a vocal defender of the three-movies approach all along. But in execution, I've got to say these two movies have been…

It was certainly goofy, but counterproductively so, I thought. The goofy stuff overshadowed and undermined all of the ostensibly dramatic stuff. I get why it's well-liked, but I couldn't get on board.
