Counterpoint: This looks shmaltzy as fuuuuuuuck

i get this reference!

He's also on this week's Nerdist, where I assume he gets more nuts-and-boltsy.

She reminds me of Gabrus. I feel like she's got the quickest wit of anyone from the new crop of regulars.

That's a pretty bold move to be showing a Cosby clip in any kind of social setting right now.

I'd be cool if this interview consisted of nothing but questions about Time Bandits and what it's like to work with Billy Zane.

Watching Scott Pilgrim in the theater nearly gave me a panic attack in its first 15 minutes. It was just non-stop jumping from scene to scene faster than anything I'd ever seen before. It leveled out a bit after that, and I ended up loving it, but it is seriously the most manic movie I've ever seen.

"Here I felt let down that we didn't get more Swinton, considering she was playing twins."

Dreamland is phenomenal.

I loved the hazy nature of Inherent Vice. I loved it even more when I was able to get into the mindset that every character was constantly super high.

Hey! I'm also currently making my way through that same Dunsany collection! After falling in love with Lovecraft a couple years ago, I wanted to tackle some of his contemporaries/influences. I'm a bit torn on this collection. I found some of the early stories (especially Gods of Pegana) to be utter slogs, but I loved…

I fell asleep watching Jason Bourne but woke up for that totally badass car chase at the end.

I had no idea Middleditch even did standup. I do know that he's a complete nut when doing improv, and I wish they'd let him loose a bit more on Silicon Valley.

Hey! Just today in fact I bought tickets to see Slowdive at The Vic in November. I'm kinda pumped about that.

I think Tarantino's original idea was to center it on the character who was Vivica A. Fox's daughter and have her seek revenge on The Bride. He was waiting for the actress to grow into the part. Who knows if this will happen, but it's an amazing idea.

Tax evasion, the most cinematically interesting of all crimes.

I've never been to ancient Rome, but I heard that Assassin's Creed II: Brotherhood was pretty accurate.

Is her band Micachu and the Shapes still a thing? I remember seeing them a million years ago and being really impressed.

Favorite film scorer right now: Cliff Martinez. I love those crazy synths, baby!
