To make it even funnier/darker, he's actually singing, "Wop goes the billy club," wop being a pejorative term for Italian Americans. So it's doubly offensive!

I hate to feed the troll, but no, it really wasn't. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…

I suspect it's more of a comic book problem. The Avengers movies are analogous to big company-wide crossovers, in which something inevitably threatens the fate of all reality and necessitates that the heroes all band together.

Honestly, I thought it held together surprisingly well. They definitely took some shortcuts, but the only part that really felt out of place was the aforementioned Thor nonsense.

1. I doubt it's admissible.
2. Even if it is, any defense attorney who's not comatose could easily talk his way around it.
3. The handwriting match would seem to imply that Durst wrote the cadaver note, which could only have been written by the killer

The envelope with the handwriting was the big bit of evidence at the end. That accidental "confession" was a fantastic note to end the show on, but I'd be surprised if it came up in court at all.

Aaron Sorkin may be a preachy bastard, but at least his pre-Studio 60 TV work is also really good. The West Wing was so wonderful at times that I was content to let Sorkin use it as his liberal-Boomer soapbox occasionally.

I like him, but he's a little smarmy. Jon Hamm gave the Reverend just enough "aww shucks" goofiness.

I would too, but as consolation you'd get to see his mustache every day.

This show can be really frustrating, and if this is one of only two episodes you've seen, I totally get how this show would seem pretty mediocre. But what really keeps me watching is that the episodes directed by Andrew Haigh are so god damn good-looking. (Basically, I keep hoping that every episode is going to be a…

If he was just another weird townie, I'd probably really enjoy him, but he's far too one-note a character to work as part of the main ensemble.

Although last season's finale was great, the season itself was pretty weak, probably the weakest after the first. I think it's good for it to go on a strong season (which this looks to be, if these first two episodes are any indication), rather than one that just limps along with no motivation.

School of Rock is also a Linklater film, and it's written by Mike White, who also wrote HBO's Enlightened.

All things considered, you could do a lot worse than that.

And The Dark Knight, of course.

Arrow is fun, but it's not exactly an artistic achievement. It's also got that CW stink all over it at times.

Really the only interesting one besides Loki, unless you count the Winter Soldier as a villain.

What would you prefer? A list of the top 20 Foo Fighters songs? They're critics. Their job is to find interesting new music, discuss it, and help bring it to the attention of the masses.

That podcast has a lot of surprisingly good interviews. Pretty much everything involving the cast (and Paul Dini) of Batman: The Animated Series is really interesting.

Yeah, when you listen to him actually talk about it, it's obvious he doesn't believe that stuff on a literal level.
