Are you me? I kept trying to finish the 4th episode, but I fell asleep twice. I don't dislike the show—it seemed to have promise—it just wasn't fun enough. Too campy to take seriously, not campy enough to be entertaining.

I have never heard of Undateable. I'm not trying to be hipster-y or anything—I'm just really sad that for the first time in my depressingly TV-centric life, I'm not watching NBC comedies. I'm someone who watched 3+ seasons of Just Shoot Me.

I don't mind the limitation on the number of storyline characters, partly because I'm used to that on TV, partly because it feels true to life for me (most people don't take on leadership roles or care what leaders are up to). It's more frustrating in House of Cards, which is about people who are have already decided

Kevin should have his own show on Bravo.

Out of curiosity, what do you not like about it?

The 100 is everything that the The Walking Dead doesn't deliver. Wonderful post-apocalyptic setting, legitimately compelling character conflicts, rounded-out characters, women who act like real people, dialogue that doesn't make you want to choke the writers, and the occasional fun/funny scene. It should get more

I'd like to add my opinion to the mix, for what it's worth. The 100 is one of the few shows currently airing that is worth watching. It's legitimately decent sci-fi, it's very fast-paced and strikes unusual emotional beats for a teen show, and the last few episodes of S1 are awards-worthy. I have reservations about

Huh, I was actually thinking of Sweeney Todd when I wrote that post. In fairness to Burton, et al., I don't like stage-version Sweeney Todd, either.

I have to rail against this film. You are blinds to its imperfections.

Glen Campbell playing Beetlejuice's son DOES sound like a hilarious premise.

I haven't seen Benched or Playing House, though I saw the pilot for Broad City and immediately grew annoyed with the twentysomethings in New York City-premise. I'll have to give it a rewatch.

Matt Damon should stay as far away from this project as possible.

Now I've spent the last 30 seconds pondering which of those movies is more terrible. On the one hand, I've never sat through Mortdecai, so it gets points for me not having wasted time on it, but on the other hand, Gwyneth Paltrow is in it…

Please explain what you liked about Secret Window. I'm legitimately baffled.

Yeah, I was watching A Room With A View two weekends ago and was blown away by how great HBC was in it. I have a hard time remembering her pre-scenery-chewing career.

It could be the Mortdecai sequel no one is clamoring for!!!

Yes, but I am trying to think of a cable comedy that is making me laugh this hard right now. Louie is a better SHOW, but it's not as funny to me as B99 (Louie works on a much higher level of comedy most of the time, which doesn't always lend itself to the same "Holt laughing uproariously" reaction). I really enjoy Ga

Ah, it's true that B99 didn't explain that plot point well at all. I think the writers assumed their core audience would immediately get it, but I think if I were 10 years younger I wouldn't have understood that point at all. In fairness, in a comedy it's kind of depressing to say, "I am waiting to tell everyone in

I'll only watch it if he promises Depp won't be anywhere near the project. The two of them bring out the worst aesthetic excesses in each other.

Interesting! My major complaint about Hild is that while it's a piece of historical fiction, VERY well-researched, with beautiful descriptions of its Anglo-Saxon Middle Ages setting, it contains "detective novel-y" tropes that are unharmonious with the genre. Important scenes are skipped in the book, and the reader
