Those old seaside boardwalk-type coasters that still run after a hundred years, they may not be the fastest or tallest, but damn can they be a lot of fun.

There's another place I need to go back to. Such a shame they got rid of the Big Bad Wolf. I love coasters that use the hilly terrain, and Busch Gardens has such a beautiful forested landscape and charming theme.

How about Kings Island? They still have the Beast, the world's longest woodie. So to speak.

Yes, definitely — I haven't been to Kings Dominion since before they built that.

The Dragster, and also Kingda Ka at Great Adventure in NJ, have the biggest drops but that's all they are. Just a big drop and nothing else. Millennium Force is the one I always wanted to visit Cedar Point to ride. It's similar to Goliath at Magic Mountain, a full-length coaster with a huge initial drop. Of…

Agreed — the episodes generally fly by. They've managed to make a show with more technical details and jargon than most nerdy comedies would employ, but without losing the brisk pace and sharp satire.

Tobolowski is good, but his character isn't nearly as funny as the main cast, especially Erlich and Jared.

Gilfoyle already trounced Dinesh once and for all, when he revealed Milana Vayntrub as his girlfriend in season 1. There's just no way anyone can top that.

But not Gilfoyle. No fucking way does Gilfoyle watch an ad.

POCKET SAND! SHSHSHAAAA!

Basinger was the only actor nominated for LA Confidential, so I'm glad she won — though the film was stuffed with even much stronger performances from the young Crowe and Pearce, Spacey, Cromwell, Strathairn, even DeVito. Everything about that movie was first-rate.

Not only funerals, but hospital scenes! My god, there were WAY too many visits to the hospital. In general, though, the Sopranos was pretty great, and Gandolfini & Falco were just amazing in the roles.

Yes, but only in the pastiest of capitals (London, Oslo, Stockholm), appropriately.

Very shrewd of Carvey to create the Church Lady when he was 30, because he can play her for the rest of his life, apparently.

Dushku had some strong scenes on Buffy also, in Bad Girls and Consequences for example.

I thought Angel's credit sequence itself needed work, but the music was pretty good.

Absolutely! Cover the lower parts with the sheets, that's fine — nobody should have to bare all if they don't want to. But above the waist, it should be equal-opportunity toplessness, or don't have a sex scene at all.

I think it should be a requirement at auditions. Forget emotional scenes, deep monologues, all that claptrap… I want to see who can convincingly pretend to drink from an empty gad-damned cup. THAT's acting!

Three little words, which everyone here knows: BAGS OF SAND.
