I followed the pro-SCII scene for about a year shortly after WoL came out. The real core people all seem pretty wonderful. Day[9] is an obvious poster-child, but really everyone at Team Liquid, Evil Geniuses, State of the Game, etc. all seem like very good people. Which makes sense. These people have spent more than a…

Lanaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I just learned a new word from the AV Club: feted. I'm familiar with its homonym, fetid, and so I was totally confused by the transcript above. I do know what a fete is, but I thought on the show they said vetted. Didn't totally make sense, but I just figured Sergeant Buttercup was up for an ambassadorship or…

You sir, are why I read all the way to the bottom of the comments.

Man, I have to disagree. While I don't want to murder him anymore, I find his arc to be the absolute most boring thing on the show. I don't really care about his relationship, and the entire thing feels very one note. "Musician struggles with addiction/sobriety" is such a common trope that I have higher expectations…

Yeah, I resisted this show for a long time. My wife has been watching it since pretty much the beginning, and I'd catch 20 minutes here and there. It seems strange to put it this way, but I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm watching this every Sunday night.

Yep, I really liked his first two stand-up specials, but this was on a different level. The baby/children/relationship/marriage bits (66% of the show) were the strongest, and it was really fresh material (the jokes, not necessarily his "position"). I thought this was really impressive, because while someone like Louis…

I agree with your first point to infinity. They need to kill the romance sub-plot. They are wasting Joe Lo Truglio with this material. In the pilot they at least gave him a balance between funny stuff and the romance, but they gave him nothing in this one. They also need to give Diaz a purpose other than being an…

ATHF references win every time

From the directors of "Dangerous Cousins"

Just caught this on Hulu and it was really enjoyable. Lots of funny moments, and a lot of things done very well. However, the sulky latina detective seems very much like an April Ludgate redux in a very bad way. She was the only detective that felt superfluous, and she served no purpose other than the romance sub-plot…

Also, he keeps including a parenthetical after every signature. It's goddamned I tell ya.

@avclub-6ca57d2774f04ac8acf3d2b10f0338f4:disqus My impression is that Jesse is way beyond making a "Walter White: Pros & Cons" list. More than anything, Walter has robbed him of any chance at redemption. When they met, he was half a criminal class above a drug addict. Now he's been involved with multiple murders, been…

This. This. This.

Ugh, I watched that whole thing. I found almost all their examples of "little bit racist" to just be racist. I really hate the idea that if someone is offended by a tasteless racist joke then it's their fault for being "PC" or lacking a sense of humor. To quote Seinfeld, "I'm offended as a comedian!" If your "joke" is…

I'm surprised there's not more comments on this since it's on Netflix Streaming. It's an insane mish-mash of cliches. The second-most shocking thing about this series is that no one has uttered the verbatim line, "He's a loose cannon, but a damn good cop." The most shocking thing is that it's actually pretty…

I somehow got it into my head that this was an 11 minute video. Then at the 11 minute mark, when I'm completely drawn in, I realize I have to watch another 50 minutes. This is really excellent though.

I'm on the wrong generational divide here, but I think it may be the logical extension of having a crush. Regardless of technology, we all know how easy it is to have a crush on someone without knowing them beyond a very superficial level. Some people that have crushes on other people will describe those people as…
