I hear the AV Club is pretty big with the squirrell-shooting, Call of Duty-addicted Eyerrack crowd these days

"Are you looking at me? No, really-I can't recognise my own reflection yet, so I'm asking seriously-Are you looking at me?"

Boo-Boolitt?

What, despite the ginormous overlap between the gangsta rap and Broadway theatre demographics?

"What"sh the differensh between you and a mallard with a cold? One's a shick duck, I forget how the rest goes but your mother'sh a whore!"

Also, Taran Killam was Mr. Rad! "This show is supposed to be gleeful and bright and fun, and you can let me do that, or there can be another bus crash!"

I love Robin's deep seated and irrational hatred of her colleague Patrice, who never stops being nice to her, on HIMYM. "Some guy tried to steal your bag, I fought him off but I think I dislocated my shoulder…" "You scratched the leather! DAMMIT PATRICE, CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT?"

I meant 'here' as in 'here in my country' (UK).

It's not really cool to like U2 anymore, which is odd because about ten years ago you were virtually crucified here for saying you didn't like them. I mean, around 2003, Bono could mail Q Magazine a shoe full of diarrhea and they'd give it a five star review.

I don't really get cringe humor in general, it just makes me feel kind of uncomfortable. Yet, as you say, some shows use cringe for 90% of their premise (looking at you, Curb).

Television. They're right in the range of bands that I should like (Joy Division, early REM etc), but I can't find anything interesting about Marquee Moon.

Yeah, I kinda agree with you. I mean, it was OK but nowhere near as good as Lebowski, O Brother, Miller's Crossing, Hudsucker…

Three long-ass episodes that did nothing to convince me to watch any more.

YOU MONSTER

Please sir, enlighten me. I mean, it's not a terrible movie by any means, and it's always nice to see a movie that captures Paris well, but to me it just seems to aim hard for "cute & quirky" (something I'm pretty allergic to anyway) and not even succeed at that.

I kinda liked Willem Defoe in it, because he clearly smelled a good turkey and decided to just ham up all over the place. "IT WAS A FIIIIIREFIIIIIIGHT!" (a rather redundant outburst for a supposedly genius cop to make when surrounded by bullet holes and empty guns)

I'm still not convinced that Mumford, Passenger and the Lumineers are not one and the same band. And I went to school with the Mumfords, so I should be name dropping them left, right and centre but I can't.

Hahaha, very drole sir.

Amelie. I love French cinema, but I don't get the appeal at all. There's hardly any sort of plot (or whatever plot there is is scripted and paced very badly), it's filled with lots of odd, completely incongruous visual tricks that add nothing and it's hard to really care about any of the characters or their story…

Still stuck on episode 3. Just seems like any other cop show to me.
