I always just kind of assumed all chefs eventually win a Food Network reality show and then get to host their own.

Exactly. Great post.

It's not the size of the endowment, it's the… erm, I've got nothing.

Because nobody cares about such trivialities as, "knowledge" or "intellectual curiosity" or "introspection." They care about whether you got a stupid piece of paper with a couple of letters on it, that only works to show—as this review points out—that you know how to use wikipedia to support your professor's own…

I don't know about that one. When I was growing up I was always disappointed that the ants were still alive after I stepped on them.

It's decent. While I was watching it, though, I never thought to myself, "Wow, the person who directed this is more than competent." At the very least, I certainly never was like, "Ooh, I can't wait to get so excited when he gets attached to direct a superhero movie whose producers just axed a singular talent of a…

Nice. I'll put it on my ILL queue.

Well, a simplified version, of course…..

It's not hard. But not everyone's a food snob.

I always wondered why this one had such a bad rep. I remember my wife renting it, and me being disappointed that I basically had to watch it, and then thinking, "Wow, that was actually a lot of fun." And I don't really appreciate Tom Cruise nor Cameron Diaz.

Wasn't Rum Diary good, or did I just make that up?

It's a terrible movie. I've been saying so for years. Glad two people apparently agree with me….

Yeah, 8 Diagrams was a really interesting album, and far from mediocre. It was/is just so different from everything else out at the moment—mostly in a good way.

For me I've always interpreted the character as Abed as not someone who "knows" he's in a TV show, but someone who makes sense of his world through the lens of TV show narrative logic.

Nicely put, and not at all dark. I think there are a fair number of people in our generation who have trouble genuinely connecting with people because we're too influenced by TV and the like. I kind of think that's the whole point of the character of Abed.
