I was afraid I would get hooked on WoW, and when I finally gave it a try, I did play it pretty obsessively for a while. However, then one day I realized I had spent several hours hitting rocks with a pickaxe so that I could maybe do something with it, and I found it pretty easy to turn the game off and not go back.

Forth is really, really excellent, especially that last bit, but damn if Third isn't the best Blackadder.

I'm rewatching it now. Pop culture references from twenty years ago have no business still being funny, but by gum, there you go.

Ugh. That theme song was Star Trek: Enterprise levels of bad.

If Jax is not a part of this endeavor, the entire thing will have been a miserable failure.

"C: Big blue wobbly thing that mermaids live in."

Part 1 was the talk of school the next day. Part 2 was a HUGE letdown.

Now then, let's not be hasty. At $68/hour, edwindkelly's classmate's aunt, who is totally real and not at all vague, might be motivated to put in a great deal of overtime on her computer device while looking for cat pictures.

>“Whatever alchemy happened when Cleese, Chapman, Palin, Jones, and Gilliam were all together has now been irrevocably changed.” Idle’s name was left out. Freudian slip?

Can someone explain her appeal to me? "Singer who can't sing" seems like it would have a pretty limited fanbase.

And that's an excellent example. Thrift Shop was an inescapable fact of life, even if you never turned on the radio. I have absolutely no idea what the hell an Iggy is, and that lack of omnipresence should disqualify it as "song of the summer". The monoculture no longer exists and it's insanely difficult for a song to…

The first one remains one of the very few books I've ever started and not finished. My understanding is Brooks got a lot better, but that one was blatant Tolkien with the serial numbers filed off.

Upvoted for "the OK Soda of cinema".

I don't know why, but the image I have of a guy who is legitimately worried that Jimmy Fallon spends less time asking someone promoting a movie for wacky "crazy fan at the airport" stories strikes me as incredibly sad and uproariously funny at the same time.

I'm not discounting that, but marketing costs generally indicate that a film has to make back double its budget to be considered profitable nowadays. Zack & Miri had about the same BO take and is considered a flop for that same reason.

Is Harvey still pissed about Smith blaming him for "not promoting Zack & Miri enough"? He's notoriously thinskinned and does not forget shit like that.

O&A was a daily fact of life in Boston for a few years in the mid-90s, and even on the station they were on (a fairly racist and homophobic refuge for dudebros) they went too far pretty often. Anthony got fired for being the same Anthony he's been on the airwaves for nearly 20 years.

Zack sounds like fucking Elmer Fudd in this song. "Wally wound the famwy!"

When Red Dwarf is funny, it's one of the funniest things ever created. When it's not, it's dreadful.

For me it's the list of cheeses and Palin's immediate response of not having any:
