While I agree with the advice to TRUTH, perhaps it could be staged. For example,

Without reading the rest of the comments, I regularly watch the old episodes with my 7 and 5 year old daughters and I enjoy the shows almost as much as they do, so if the reboot is nearly as good as previous then mission accomplished.

Airplane! parodies 'Airport 1975' more closely than any other movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/t…

Clearly someone is getting paid by the word.

A lot of times you think it's you that's out of practice, but really it's just not there with that person. Keep asking girls out, be nice and funny as you can, don't expect much until you both expect something from each other. It's been a while since I've been single, but I remember it clearly…it sucks until it…

Regarding your examples, the first was a cartoon and the second was a parody. Like I said, a great script, director, a budget, and an excellent actor can expand the Bond universe.

Why not have 008? Make a great script and a great movie with a very talented actor and the canon of the story is the same.

I think you're missing the cookie. If someone writes a story without objectivity, then they will assume information without verifying it.

So does this mean the @MensHumor account will get shut down? That's all they do is repost other people's tweets (without attribution).

Why is every AV Club article now dripping with condescension? If it were funny condescension, I suppose that would be okay, but now it feels like every story is how they are too cool for the story they are covering.

Did you borrow the 'on hold' joke from Albert Brooks twitter feed? https://twitter.com/AlbertB…

'White tiger steaks' was pretty good, give him that.

Maher crosses a lot of lines often, in particular during his standup act. Definitely not the 'most PC person on the planet.'

SPOILERS OF ALL BOOKS!!!!

Eye gouging was in the book too, except he used one mailed hand.

Hopefully not with a bunch of lens flares…

Two words: Jacob's Ladder.

Right on. I'm also thinking that he is more attractive (or wealthier) than she thinks she could normally get. If she asked him to stop drinking, it suggests it's a problem and she is hoping she can change him from the rough into a diamond.

Not knowing the talents of the lady, I can tell if she can raise four kids she has at least some talent that could be useful in the workforce somewhere, motherhood is hard.  My mom worked and raised my brother and me for eight years; your friend's husband sounds like a candidate for 'addition by subtraction.'

I try to say the best revenge is living well, but your Dad deserves something horrible to happen to him that doesn't hurt your mom.  Anyway to broadcast his dickishness to all mutual friends and family?
