Or that platform shoes exist, apparently.

By virtue of not being hit in the nuts constantly?

Hah! Awesome. I was wondering if it was a real manual or not. The inclusion of "Book" in the title is just super odd sounding.

That and also the hyper generic "This Is A Prop" title of his exam study book.

Yeah, it would maybe make sense if the two guys in question were brothers (and therefore using "The Dwyer Method" of conflict resolution), but I know that I have never had, nor have I ever so much as heard of, a real life male friendship that involved punching each other regularly. If any of my friends ever tried to…

In every interview with him I've ever read (and I read the book and watched Fearless Freaks, among pretty much everything else up through and a little beyond At War with the Mystics, though admittedly I've pretty much stopped paying attention since), he's consistently said that he doesn't do any drugs because he…

We haven't rewritten history to make every successful product Apple ever brought to market the sole work of Jobs, with absolutely no predecessors or input from anyone else quite enough yet.

They were smart to make the character's competitiveness overrule her common sense, which allows her to believably participate in things like the Jimmy Jabs and not be a total stick-in-the-mud.

I enjoyed the USPIS stuff, but the b-story was definitely phoning it in pretty hard. It did a disservice to the intelligence of Terry, Gina and Holt that they all had such a naive "certainly the thing that worked for me specifically will also work for you on the first try" approach to "curing" Amy.

I actually think Helms is really good at portraying that kind of prickly fop, as he did for the first couple seasons that he was on The Office. The shitty decision wasn't casting Helms in the first place, it was when The Office tried to shift Andy (who up until that point was pretty unlikable) to being Jim 2.0 by…

His mustache is era appropriate.

I know the definition says "high concept" means an easy-to-communicate premise, but the way I've always seen it used also carries an implication that the premise also requires a greater suspension of disbelief due to being highly coincidental or fantastical. For instance, I've seen the term applied to a lot of cheesy…

Mike Tyson is a retired boxer, not a wrestler.

Same here, A Fishful of Dollars has always been one of my favorite episodes. There's just a ton of quotable lines, I've used "Just keep the tab under 50 million dollars" many times.

When I got my first checking account, it was not too long after Futurama started and shortly after I had fallen in love with it. So when it came time to set my PIN, the first thing I thought of was 1077, in reference to A Fishful of Dollars. I then proceeded to loudly announce it whenever anybody mentioned ATMs or…

Without the super hypnotic walking bassline it hardly counts.

Pow, pow powpow powpow

Well, what you're talking about is not so much "directing a comedy" as "stand near the camera while the actors direct the film."

So basically you're supporting Nolan's argument that he's not the right type of person to make one, then.

Yeah all the way back since the movie immediately preceding the one that just came out last week.
