And just a month ago, AV Club was trying to make me feel ridiculous for not accepting what they were declaring the probable death of the show. "Extraordinarily Unlikely" they said…"peaceful, natural end" they said (well, to be fair, VanDerWerff said). To that, I replied, and reply again:

You know, there is one tragedy in fuckwits like him being flagged, his comments removed. When I check back into the thread after 10 hours of chasing my toddler around and doing other "productive" things, I'm at a loss as to exactly how perfectly he was eviscerated by the geniuses carrying on the good fight.

Why this isn't the accepted method for psychologists to engage their patients, I'll never know. It really does cut to the core of one's terrible nougaty center.

What can you expect from someone who is seemingly passionate about the ideals and thoughts of an overrated junkie who threw his life away for a grotesque gutter slut?

Eh, who cares what Capote thought? The only thing he ever did was be played by a "very pale sort of…fat….kid."

Holy shit, that is a perfect metaphor. I've never been able to aptly name the feeling of discovering someone you otherwise admire (or at least feel no ill will toward, even like) holds personal and/or political beliefs that you simply cannot get on board with. And not necessarily in the way that makes you hate them,…

I'm in, so long as they aren't playing A.V. Dub…step.

"The Fifth Element" is the bit of his filmography that bothers him? Not "Tiptoes"?

I'm especially looking forward to the final installment in the trilogy, "A.V. Flub."

It is encouraging to know that young people aren't entirely certain to dismiss all silent cinema, but I was referring to the American audience as a whole. Remember the early 00's, when the chatter was all about how "Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago" were ushering in the new age of movie musicals, how this was the new trend…

Yeah, I'm feeling better about not having seen it now, if they really painted the silent films as automatically inferior to all that would follow. For fuck's sake, "Sunrise" is one of the most powerfully acted, stunningly composed and undeniably moving films I've ever seen.

I actually haven't watched "The Artist" yet (hype generally pushes me away from something. Aren't I oh-so-counterculture?). Really, if I want to watch a film about the transition to talkies, I'll just watch "Singin' in the Rain" again. Or just watch some films from that actual era on TCM.

I was certain that "Down With Love" was supposed to be a remake (if not overtly stated) of "Sex and the Single Girl," the 1964 flick starring Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood (also, Henry Fonda and Lauren Becall).

Andy Daly is the greatest comedic straight man since Hartman. Prove me wrong.

Agreed. Fully.

I can certainly relate, growing up with a single mom trying ever so desperately to keep her daughter on the right path, within the realm of the Seventh Day Adventist church, no less. Even words such as "gosh" and "geez" were banned, as they were seen as mere substitutions for ways to, apparently, take the Lord's name…

I'm aware of this. I've been tempering my hopes when it comes to Community for years. It's not that I expect Hulu to do a full length season, as much as I'm tired of everyone pretending that it would be a proper "6 seasons and a movie" if it continued down this road. My issues with this being the pointlessly truncated…

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time believing that Harmon can address everything he'd like to in a 13 episode run. The last season was a perfect example of this. Granted, he also had the unenviable tasks of setting the ship right after season 4, as well as sorting through the Glover exit (handled perfectly as it was,…

Can we at least be honest and stop referring to it as a possible "sixth season"? Between the gas leak year and the far too brief run this year, the last two "seasons" hardly amounted to one (especially when compared to the first three, 20+ episode seasons).

Yeah, I've been on the edge over Jane since the first moment she started saying "I'm still dreaming." I'm hoping her frustration with the school system, feeling isolated and unchallenged in her education, was the problem. But I'm not getting comfortable. Louis is too willing to go brutal. It's so much of what makes…
