Their response makes them sound more like scary, violent reactionaries than anything Tarantino said. It's this type of top-notch public relations work that has never made a situation better, ever! Well done once again, Fraternal Order of Police!

I only saw one episode of this season (HBO Free Weekend! Whoo!) but two things seemed pretty obvious:
1. They picked this director because he was a pompous twat who would probably piss everyone off - most especially the line producer. First rule of reality TV - assholes are supposedly entertaining.
2. If the script was

You know what makes reader comments useless? Well, just go back and read what you've written.

I have most of the Lampoons from their classic period, and all the Mad magazines from about 1970-76 in an old toy box. Include in that many of the Mad paperback compilations, the original printings of the Sunday newspaper parody and the high school yearbook parody. Sometimes my hoarder instincts reap dividends.

Really? A Bill Prady show where the characters you're supposed to like are kind of dicks? No way!

'Hannah Takes the Stairs': My intro to, and quick exit from, the Mumblecore movement.

Yay! I always laughed at the kid-toss from 'No Escape,' too!

I've never heard the 'Jerkass Homer' theory of the show's decline, but ohmygod does it perfectly sum up what I've thought for years.

The pilot is the weakest episode. And it's great.

Once had the good fortune to spend a little time with Alex Rocco. As great as he was onscreen, he was an even better man. Kind, generous, funny. Just a wonderful guy.

I had almost the exact same viewing experience as you. Then when the film was done I turned off the DVD and wept for ten minutes - hadn't felt it coming on, hadn't been holding it in during the film. Just got blindsided and had to let it out. I think it was the inevitable reaction to seeing humanity at its absolute,

Bring Aaron Taylor-Johnson into the equation and the combined black hole of charisma could suck in the entire solar system - nay, the entire universe!

Well, he self-identifies as 'White (U.K.).'

They were paying computer programmers $50,000 a day? But T-shirts were only gonna sell for $3? Yeah, Jurassic Park never had a chance with those kind of economics.
