And you hear "Wu Tang Clan Ain't Nothin' To Fuck With" playing in the stash house as they sneak in. That's some great foreshadowing, there.

I love that scene in the bar… "Can I tell you something? This has nothing to do with me…" — you expect some attempt at advice giving, however lame — "so stop telling me about it." Rust is like an existentialist Abed.

Oh god, Dragonball Z. There were arcs that were literally a guy running home for multiple episodes, or doing situps in a spaceship, or just sort of flying around. I heard that the reason for that was the show would get ahead of the manga, and they'd have to kill time waiting for it to catch up.

The context only makes it stranger: Mason is Margot's brother who molested her as a child, and she needs his sperm to inseminate her lesbian partner. She can't inseminate herself because she is a former bodybuilder whose abuse of steroids left her infertile.

I typed a whole thing suggesting you watch C.O.G. before I remembered that was another guy. That's how good Eisenberg is, he can disappear into entirely different actors.

Ich wurde ihre schaft fuhren! Ah ha ha, diese sind #Deutschejokes

*heavy Eddy Vedder voice* Reading rainbowwwwww

I think in some cases, knowing things really does change how you the movie. I had no idea that anything was going to happen in the red wedding episode, and I think my experience was pretty different - and better - from someone who knew ahead of time. But if you'd spoil say Upstream Color for someone, it wouldn't…

The strudel scene in Inglorious Basterds is probably my favorite food scene in any movie. In the midst of all this tension, half the scene's focus is on making the strudel and cream look amazing, and you feel bad for shoshana because she's not enjoying it. Or at least I do, but maybe I'm just a weirdo.

Books by established authors are, I think, outside of the point of this study. Dan Browne could've written a terrible book that everyone hated and still sold well at that point in his career, just based on previous work. What you'd really need to look at was his first successful book.

I'm on break from grad school, so I finally had time to catch up on movies. Also learned something new about Netflix: you can manually set the video quality (ctrl+alt+shift+s), which is wonderful given how eager Netflix seems to be to switch to shit quality.

I caught Warm Bodies about 20 minutes in last night, and explaining the concept to people who'd never seen it was pretty funny: "Well, it's Romeo and Juliet, but with zombies, and also it's not a tragedy… oh, and there are these bony monsters for some reason; also I forgot, the zombies gain memories by eating brains …"

Based on your use of parentheses around the word "movie," I'm worried that you might only have seen a picture of the film. I assure you that it was a moving picture, and with sound!

I like ending the way it did. It shows that Breaking Bad "liked" Walter White just as he explained he "liked it" (making meth) to Skyler. It's a show about a truly evil man that, in the balance, was as much about reveling in his brilliance as showing his downfall. So he dies and his horrible choices catch up to him…

Not that you're likely to care 2 months later, but I just saw C.O.G. and want to talk about it so… about his sexuality: I think the girlfriend is meant to be someone he dated before he came out. So when he says she won't find anyone better than him and they have that moment that seems weird at the time, it makes more…

I would also like to take this moment to declare that anyone who leaves Peeps uneaten after Easter is a maniac and should be under close observation.

I'd like to think his use of the singular "viewer" is meant to refer to the one person on Earth who is "less excited by CGI dinosaurs than by the question of why a man might stop by a motorcycle showroom to measure the height of a particular model".

I thought Brie Larson was Bree Olson

I'm glad someone else thought that. And if you didn't think that, never mind, neither did I.

The best part of this article: go to the Facebook comments and look at the profiles of the grotesque caricatures of human beings defending Dads, "the only funny show on television".
