Hey Chris Hardwick, the answer to your agent doesn't always have to be "yes". Perhaps if you only do one show, maybe ten minutes a month, you'll stop being stretched thin and might stand a chance of being funny.

He's that perfect storm of terribly unfunny, but smug about his own talent. The whole Nerdist crew annoys me, but he's even worse than Hardwick.

McLeod!

I wish I could like this comment a thousand times.

Reverse the opinions on Transparent and The After and I'm with you. Still, it's no worse a track record than…every broadcast network.

It was really good, and I'm surprised it never became a Christmas staple over here.

"Fun" fact - I went to University with the chap who played Pitt the Even Younger. He was a bit of a douchebag, if memory serves, and stole a tin of beans from my house after a party.

Surprised you didn't mention the most intimate live show of recent years, Maria Bamford's live special in front of her parents in their living room. Or her living room, I don't remember.

You know they're re-making the Highlander movie, right? I can't wait!

I liked the film too. Who cares if he's different to the comics? Presumably there's like 4 different versions of him in the different DC continuities anyway.

That was the snark from the AVC writer, not the press release itself, which seemed perfectly reasonable. But, if you're paid to write awful jokes, you have to write awful jokes.

People just love being contrarians, despite it leaving them on the side of people who treat their employees like garbage while making billions of dollars in profit for people who don't need any more money.

No-one will read this, but I wanted to get it out there. The way that Alison and Cosima just let their handlers back into their lives was pathetic - and Alison's husband getting into the limo about 20 feet outside his own front door was an absolute joke. It makes it hard to care about people who make such terrible…

I think she's an alcoholic (which is why neither of them drink in the movie).

Did a couple of shows over here that didn't do very well (including one with Aiden Gillen); a few films too, but I think "Misfits" was so popular, and he was so good in it, that he thought serious fame was around the corner. Shame, really.

It's absolutely amazing. There was a fair bit of media coverage of this show when it aired in the UK, talking about how it was a negative portrayal of homosexuality and so on, but it clearly wasn't very good criticism as it's coming back for a second series.

It would appear they cloned the ludicrously cute pixie-cut psychopath from "The Following".

And you did! Including the bit where I said "it's got its uses" - but don't let inconvenient stuff like facts get in the way of you being upset at someone who doesn't subscribe to the same faddy French intellectual discipline as you. Also, it's definitely the length of the word which put me off - congratulations on…

Sadly, I agree with you. I saw it before all the hype really built up to the juggernaut it is now, and even then I was a bit "well, it's okay…" The DVD "extra farts" special feature is brilliant, though.

"Semiotics" is just one of those words that makes my eyes glaze over and my brain think "okay, I can stop listening to this person now". I know it's got its uses (probably) but there's little worse than pomo people endlessly analysing language while the world is falling to pieces around them.
