On a similar note, people whose pop culture references seem to begin and end at The Simpsons. It's fine to drop a quote now and then, but there are some people where I wonder if the only TV they've ever consumed was FOX between 1989-2002. And I love The Simpsons.

Being around people who you want to show a good movie/TV show to, and then they're looking at their phones through the entire fucking thing. I'm working on curing my boyfriend of this habit now.

I am 100 percent on board with all David Wain projects. He's by far the most consistent comedy director working today. Even his formula studio outings (Role Models, Wanderlust) were better than they had any right to be.

I'm glad to hear this is decent. Even though the whole project felt like the kind of thing better suited to a Funny or Die sketch, as one of those people who grew up right in the target demo for the original show, I'm happy that it's not totally desecrating what came before or struggling to justify its own existence.

You're right - Movie Censorship confirms that it was just the back half of that scene added in the unrated. I didn't remember correctly because, well…

Alternate: "Nancy is a terrible person, does something terrible, and no one acknowledges that she's terrible."

That scene he did with Kevin Hart in The 40 Year Old Virgin wasn't even in the theatrical cut. Which gives me an unrelated opportunity to vent about how the theatrical cut of 40YOV was almost erased from existence prior to the Blu-Ray release. The unrated version has funny added stuff but it kills the pacing of the…

As Double-Hawk said, I think being proud of not knowing any pop culture seems purposefully ignorant and douchey, especially when it's a piece of pop culture that's fairly ubiquitous, to the point that it would seem difficult to impossible to avoid or not be aware of at least casually (see: the commenters in that…

Pretty much. I'm a big Lady Gaga fan and being one has made me realize how much I hate fan armies, which might as well all be called Assholes. Beyoncé's Assholes, Rihanna's Assholes, Gaga's Assholes, etc.

I get pissed when people complain about how "there's no good movies out" or "all the music on the radio is shit" or "there's nothing out that that's representing my minority group," and then don't actually make any effort to seek out the less mainstream things that might represent them or provide them enjoyment.

Social Justice Warrior, but I prefer what you said.

Oh, I agree, and I don't mean to sound flippant about it. I just weary of reading the same reactionary arguments being used repeatedly against hipster racism that disregard context and approach.

I don't think the bit was entirely successful, but man, do I hate the Tumblr/Twitter Suey Park/SJW types who think that things like rape and slavery can NEVER BE JOKED ABOUT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE EVER because hipster racism = racism and there's no room for subtlety and nuance and using charged material to make larger…

I really loved Nine Lives, the Rodrigo Garcia movie from a few years back that was nine single-take sequences about nine different women that, by nature of how it was made, took place in real time. Just really well done slice-of-life scenes, the best of which has Robin Wright and Jason Isaac as two former lovers who…

I hope Neighbors explains either why a fraternity was allowed to move into a normal suburb or why a family decided moving into a college neighborhood was a good idea.

It wasn't a specific restaurant, but the pizza on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles looked better than any pizza I had ever eaten when I was a kid.

I'd go to bat for Big Fish and Corpse Bride in addition to Sweeney Todd. I'm also one of the few who likes his Wonka update, and Frankenweenie looks great despite not being good. Alice and Dark Shadows can go to hell.

I appreciate and agree with this analysis, but by the same token, I wasn't really aware there was Johnny Depp backlash so much as that he's made several pretty bad movies in a row that also haven't done well at the box office. Does HE even remember making Dark Shadows?

I enjoyed the bit in Baby Mama where Tina Fey's character was absolutely obsessed with this song and then Romantic Interest Greg Kinnear overhears it on the radio one day and is all "What crap," just in time for the second act break-up-to-make-up.

Remember The Evening Star, that magical time when someone said "You know, what America really wants is a sequel to Terms of Endearment," and somehow that novel got written and a script was written, casted, filmed and released?
