…he actually DOES like "punking" people as a form of comedy? because it sounds like that's what he was doing to you.

shorter version of this interview:
AVC: You once said you hate (or love) x. Is that true?

Shih Tzu. Your mother's in the hospital?! I'M HER NURSE. And the reason I threw that cigarette out the window is because I'm trying to quit, which made me so frazzled that I overprescribed drugs to a bunch of minority patients.

wondering
if there are going to be any fantastic coincidences in this show, like the mother's sister's son's pizza guy is the same racist guy who cut off the father's uncle's friend's barista.

portland…
represent!!!

i'd love to be spoiled, but for god's sake, i need an annotated guide with videos of the auditions to figure out who's who. all i remember from that picture is the "politician" dude.

no is no
that was TMBG's "No!" from the album of the same name.

…wait, what year is this?

comment from the film itself:
"AAAAAH OH SHIT OH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT AAAH OH NO!!!!!"

also
i'm not gonna lie, i got a little misty during andy's big speech. gervais has turned into a real actor over the past decade.

dance
a shiny penny for anyone who can find a youtube/similar clip of the three carphone employees dancing to that ridiculous ringtone.

merrily
I think you gave Merrily relatively short shrift here. (Everybody always does.) I know everyone says "the book is a mess," but I honestly don't see it. And the music is definately some of the best in his catalogue. I mean, "Our Time"? Goddamn, that's a great song.

connick
this is like, His Role, isn't it? has Harry Connick EVER played the one and only romantic lead?

this god fellow
he's the biggest whiny pussy around, if vatican press releases are any measure of it.

nail to the feet
damn, i haven't thought about that moment in Home Alone for years. thanks for that.

well done with that awesome and totally necessary spoiler and non-alert, asshole.

i wouldn't let you post either.

A+B=?
I was a little bothered that the ultimate winning meal was just two ingredients someone else made mooshed together. certainly that stephen dude deserves some credit for "perfectly braising" that veal?

goddammit, now everybody knows i saw Dan in Real Life.

trailer scenes
that scene in every Dan in Real Life trailer/commercial/webisode with his oldest daughter driving and him forcing her to break in the middle of the street, hilariously and awkwardly shutting down traffic? Not in the movie!
