Depends on how close I get to the invading alien horde on my first day of battle, I guess.

Eh, I think at a certain point the Hollywood establishment picked up the baton from the critics, who were positive but not that positive. Either way, we're talking about something contained within a particularly obnoxious house of mirrors here…

Yeah, but it does have a little to do with, like, the conversations you have with people about the movie, or at least it did in my case. It takes some of the fun out of the movie retroactively when I ended up frequently half-apologizing for thinking the movie was pretty good.

It's coming! Should be like 30 minutes.

Eh, that's fair. Bad way to describe it. But hopefully you get what I was trying to get at in terms of the tone of the film.

I'll be sure to thank you in next week's WOT, and then the one three weeks after that. Thank you for your service.

I'm Jay S. and so's my wife!

Having done my own research on Rosanna's CV, I'd be happy putting her at #2; I think I had just conflated some of her work with Patricia's to be honest. And David Arquette wins some points for his role in helping produce Cougar Town, but I'd agree his whole deal doesn't do all that much for me.

Psst…I'm sure no harm is meant by it, but that should be Alexis Arquette is ranked as high as you think she could be ranked if we were talking the most popular members of her own sibling set.

Yep, that's the correct answer.

The Cornetto Trilogy isn't really dumb though. I mean, Shaun of the Dead has a lot of great dumb jokes, but even that is way too finely structured to qualify as dumb comedy in the same way movies as essentially freewheeling as Animal House or Super Troopers do.

When said banana boat is being ridden by Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, and LeBron James, you better believe it!

Inasmuch as the water in the toilets rotate clockwise in America … yes.

You say that like it wouldn't undermine the entire thematic ethos of the western genre.

Yes, but now imagine it had Tom Selleck in it.

Yeah, but when I think "cut rate water thieving pale imitation" of a western, my first thought is "Australia-set western," so it all fits.

Man, why are they even bothering to hold the Emmys if this show isn't eligible yet?

For what it's worth, I think censorship requires a degree of power that one lone reviewer — particularly a reviewer who goes out of his way to qualify his criticisms and point out the things he likes about the episode — is just never going to have over a TV show. My intention with a review like that isn't to suggest

Yeah, I'd forgotten he was even on the show. I feel like Justified sometimes just crammed actors in there to say that they'd done so. Not the worst impulse, really.

Look, I'm still not ready to deal with the fact that the CGI super-intelligent/telepathic gorilla didn't sound like Powers Boothe. Don't reopen those DCAU wounds!
