For What it's Worth…
I think "Shackler's Revenge" is awesome. Edges towards a heavy metal I might actually enjoy, if such a thing existed.

Sounds like…
Arthur Miller's "The American Clock" meets the SNES version of "Shadowrun." In other words, awesome.

You forgot perhaps the greatest Sherlock Holmes "adaptation"
Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century!

You know how some people are workaholics?
Well I'm an alcoholic!

Ha Ha Ha!
Amelie doesn't like Taylor Swift!

Hello, and welcome…
to Molester-piece theater.

@ "would of" , etc. : My 11th grade English teacher always marked off points for that kind of error, but then she assigned us Great Gatsby and sure enough, Tom Buchanan's dialogue is littered with it.

Ah yes, I see. That must be where the Mad Men creators got it from.

No mad men without Simpsons?
Could you show your work on the "no mad men without simpsons" claim? That seems like a complete non sequitur.

A batch of counterexamples
Advancement in technology "inevitably" causes retreat in other areas? How about Pixar? They made better movies than Toy Story, despite a steady increase in rendering capacity and animation detail.

Yeah, I'll stump for "Mean Girls" as a legitimate pleasure. If more tween movies were remotely like that, it would mitigate all the Twilight and Bratz and that kind of horseshit (kids these days, am I right?)

So, what about Daily Buzzkills?
They didn't last too long, did they? Like every empire, it crumbled.

Beat Poets on Film
Some say that Ron Livingston is the definitive Alan Ginsberg. I don't know who or where or when, but with all the people saying all the things they say, that has to have come up somewhere.

Drivel Alert (the book, not the review, though there is some contagion)
"Clover has lots to say about the ways a vapid '90s rock song might both contradict and support one of the key essays of neoconservative thought."

Gop meant "slavering." Unless he was talking about covering them with a thick coating of something, which perhaps he was. The world may never know.

Favorite Bobb'e line
"Look at him; he had some good times with his family, too. That junk is priceless."

Boy…
Daily Buzzkills didn't last very long, did they? Wonder why.

Still, though, on the subject of diamond sales, the rarity of that particular region of air is greatly exaggerated in the piece:
