Yeah, my god he dodged a bullet there. The extended version is crazy bad.

And she doesn't look at all like a drag queen made up as Jenny McCarthy's older sister!

But how else can he not-so-subtly constantly give off that "u mad bro?" implication that anyone who criticises his movies in any way is a humorless scold?

Mallrats is probably his secret best film, in that it is the most overtly comedic and has the least pretensions to being "meaningful." Clerks is not terrible. Everything else ranges from incredibly overwrought self-seriousness to navel-gazing self-reference.

Thankfully I sprung for the "Happy Inevitable Un-retirement Kevin Smith and Steven Soderbergh" banner BOGO deal

Yeah, even when Blockbuster (or Hollywood Video or whatever) was the primary way to rent movies I never relied on whatever the shitty teenager currently manning the register liked. Half the fun then was to peruse the store for an hour or so with your friends before finally landing on the perfect B-movie with the…

Yeah I was into it as a deconstruction of the whole Jersey Shore "GTL" way of life, with Gordon-Levitt clearly having some things to get off his chest about the inescapability of hyper-sexualized women and pornography in the media today, and the sort of problems that engenders, and also a fairly harsh critique of…

Yeah, I was mostly responding to @avclub-3295487fd764c16d5b00d19ae3bc8d49:disqus's implication that she shouldn't be obsessed with grades any more because she's 25 (Alison Brie is apparently 32 IRL, I'm not sure exactly how old Annie is supposed to be).

It's still funnier than nearly everything else on TV, but it's not quite at the peak of it's storytelling powers that it hit during seasons 2-3 (much like pretty much every great show ever).

Even though Hayes was on both Up All Night and Smash, so it's not as if he hasn't been on NBC recently anyway.

I hate to say it, but I have a feeling this is going to be the last batch of Community episodes we'll ever see.

I think they're pretty obviously setting up Greendale itself to be the villain this season (not that a show like this really needs a villain).

Yeah as Ben's dad the character never really rose above just being Mike from Breaking Bad, and the joke being that a goofy nerd like Ben could be the child of such a badass. Here, he's actually more of a distinct person.

The other characters' non-plussed reaction to Abed saying that's how they end every episode was pretty great too.

You realize you can also just watch it for free on NBC.com on Fridays?

I thought this one seemed OK, in that it's basically one of his defining characteristics that his personality gets absorbed into whatever he's obsessing about at the moment and he loves acting out pop culture cliches in his real life.

Yeah, NBC needs to realize that there's no such thing as consistent broad-based appeal any more. Stop trying to make shows that everyone likes and double down on making shows that a smaller group loves. The television landscape is too fractured at this point to do anything else (a few yearly stunt things like The…

We try not to sexualize her. She's very young.

Ordinary fuckin' people.

He was still great at the more slapsticky stuff, though. His reading of "Somebody call all the ambulances" after his pants malfunction in Urban Matrimony and Sandwich Arts is perfect.
