    "No way even the best possible Mandy Moore record is better than even the worst possible Elvis Costello outing. "

    It's people! Logan's Run is PEOPLE!

    I'm sorry, but if Nothing's Shocking isn't one of the most boring albums ever recorded, I don't know what to tell you. I felt like I was listening to the same measure repeatedly endlessly.

    Lechery and misogyny are not the same things, you whiners.

    Eva Mendes also "turns into Bette Davis," during the nude-in-silhouette scene.
    Bette Davis was not ever an attractive woman. What did they mean by that?

    My favorite minor thing about How I Met Your Mother is that the characters laugh at each other jokes. It is maddening to watch shit like Home Improvement or whatever where the laugh track is just dying of hilarity but the characters don't react at all.

    I'm hardly the only one defending this guy in this thread.

    Two notes.
    1) The version I hear on the radio does not use "Say It Ain't So," but a much better, smoother, more laid-back sample. I honestly thought you guys were being too hard on this song, but when I heard the original version he sounded six billion times douchier, and I'm not saying he's Senor Suavo in the newer

    "Also, lamenting the death of the CD? Really? "

    The video matched the song. Frustrated Incorporated. CDs being packaged. Misery as product. Devastating critique of his own genre. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.

    NO YOU IDIOT, the, the blowjob video!

    "evil developer wants to destroy Cyrus' small-town Eden by building a mall"
    Economic development??? That bastard!!

    I really don't see where the premises of the two movies match up. Being magically forced to speak the truth isn't the same as voluntarily choosing to be open to all new experiences. It has much more in common with "Along Came Polly," which is a movie that can actually make "Yes Man" look good.

    By day, Deschanel's character teaches people to do photography while doing cross-country running. By night, she plays in a band that wears hats shaped like giant seahorses. No, it's not a quirkcomedy but it's close.

    Brilliant marketing.
    They shoved a whole bunch of Trekkies into a room, gave them the whole movie without warning and Leonard Nimoy was there. You think those guys are really going to give a negative review after that? The "Star Trek" movie could have turned out to be Battlefield Earth projected upside down and they

    Well,
    that was kind of a disaster.

    Look, I don't know what one could possibly like about "The House Bunny," although I realize that standards for comedy are painfully lower. I also realize that I'm also on the eternally unaffected AV Club boards, but isn't there someone at least annoyed at the fact that it's a movie about cute nerds who are waiting for

    The House Bunny
    I was kind of amazed to see the C+ review on this site, considering that it was probably the single most excruciating movie I saw last year. I only went because I went on a date with a former sorority girl, and even she thought it was unbearable. I dare anyone to find a single good thing about that

    Uh
    If he was converted to Christianity by a prominent evangelist, why was his faith destroyed by the abuses of Catholics?

    Oh, and because I want to bring this up for a second time in as many days: In 2006, the Genie for Best Picture went to "Bon Cop, Bad Cop," a buddy cop movie in which a by-the-book English-speaking Ontario detective has to work with a rule-breaking French-speaking Quebec officer.
