That has to be one of the most laughably desperate attempts I've ever heard of someone trying to explain away something so trivial as if it is actually important symbolism. The biggest problem is that so many clueless people think all this "rhyming" bullshit means that he had all this stuff planned ahead of time and…

Oh, I get it! I get jokes.

Unless this new cinematic universe includes Jet Jaguar who gives a fuck?!

Okay, so now the big question is in what way do any of these rehashed visuals actually matter? How do any of these scene's visual similarity to scenes from the original films add to the story at all, or contribute in any way to developing thematic links between the prequels and the original films that weren't just…

Okay, either all the good reviews I'm seeing for this movie are wrong, or it had the most misleadingly bad trailers in the history of movie trailers, and whoever made them was quite possibly intentionally trying to sabotage the film.

No way! Not before you tell me how much better Granny Smith apples are than a 1969 El Camino with a Granny Smith in the glove box!

But it is a meaningless statement since there is no "relative quality" with which a film and a song can be compared. Unfortunately you can't just use the good old blanket "it's my opinion" defense in a situation where it's impossible to form any kind of meaningful opinion in the first place.

Well that's kind of a meaningless statement, because I don't know by what kind of criteria it's possible to legitimately compare a song and a movie, but I have to say that in my opinion Skyfall the song is just hilariously bad. The song from Quantum of Solace was just dumb and annoying, but Skyfall actually had me…

I see they are working very hard to continue the Daniel Craig era tradition of having really shitty theme songs at the beginning of really great James Bond movies. I don't care, as long as they deliver on the "really great James Bond movie" part.

Yes, I believe that was the years 1984 through 1986.

The answer to your question is zero.

See, I would have said that "those of us who enjoy good movies" were deeply disappointed when we heard that George Miller might be saddled with making an unwanted sequel to one of the shittiest movies in years instead of instantly being drowned in money so he could get right to work making that next Mad Max movie he…

That is a far more ludicrously unreasonable comparison than I could possibly have imagined. I thought you'd probably come up with some example of someone trying to censor racially insensitive language from Huck Finn or something, but how you can see these two things as even in the same universe of similarity is…

Examples?

No problem, and make sure to pick up the latest Kiss Mail Order Catalog if you don't have it yet. This quarter's specials are the new "I Was Made For Lugging You" Kiss luggage set for 15% off, and a free bottle of "Music From the Elderberry Wine" when you spend over $500.

Yeah, of the two examples Mencia is definitely the most egregious.

The worst thing about this asshole is that he makes me have to reconsider my opinions of guys like Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia, and up the level of respect I have for them. Yeah those guys might have ripped off some jokes from other comedians, but at least they still had to work their asses off for years going on the…

No he's not in any trouble. The LA Police's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force are investigating something that happened on his property while he was away on a tour with Kiss last year, but he and his family aren't the targets of the investigation. I assume what happened was probably that someone got on…

Yeah that was a big mistake made by the network in a situation that I think Bill Lawrence fully understood. He probably knew that if they had framed it as a new show/spinoff with some of the same characters in a new setting the general audience might have been much more receptive and given it more of a shot, but by…

So you think it's okay for people to do something that is ethically wrong just because the opportunity arises? And that's all bullshit anyway, because he's not just "doing what millions of other people are doing". Those millions other people you speak of just retweet the actual tweet so that the person who came up…
