So, the biohazard is going to wind up in the cologne bottle, right? Either Henry's or Stan's, and wacky hijinx will ensue, I'm guessing.

I'll cop to loving this movie - perhaps because I have fond childhood memories of it, but I also happen to think it's legitimately pretty damn funny in most places. The scenes where Hanks is trapped in the carpet and going mad are hilarious, and they sell the relationship very well throughout the film. This and Dragne…

Appreciate it, GH. Take… however long you need.

Interesting! I liked the first Mudcrutch album, low-key and very loose in a Sunday-afternoon-background-music kind of way. I'll be picking this up — and I wonder if "Trailer" is a re-recording of the same "Trailer" unreleased song on the Playback box set? I think it was supposed to have been on Southern Accents, if I…

Zero Chill would make the perfect title for the next William Gibson short story, probably also about a teenaged Nazi AI.

Excellent choices; personally, I would have included WH40K: Dawn of War II for its refocusing of the RTS genre on the squad/character level. It’s a great companion piece to Company of Heroes, IMO.

You know, that would actually be a great feature for AVCU; in addition to the normal format, pick a single song that EVERYONE has to cover, then we can have a compare-a-palooza at the end of the season.

Thanks AV Club, now I'm going to spend the next half hour alternately trying to imagine a Fitz and the Tantrums cover of MMMBop and hoping I'm not subconsciously humming the song in front of co-workers.

Well, if nothing else it finally gives us a chance to re-open the discussion about how Man of Steel was either perfect or terrible.

I remember him on the Daily Show before Palin had been picked, and he awkwardly ran through a list of "funny" names some campaign staffer had clearly designed to pander to the "with it" crowd. I'm pretty sure Dwight Schrute was one of them, and it was clear McCain had absolutely no idea who that actually was.

And it's too bad, because overall I think they used to have some really fun stuff and some quality writing.

Look, I'm not saying I think Crystal Skull is better than any of the first three films, but it's not atrocious. I could have done without the monkeys too, but overall that jungle chase is very well choreographed action IMO, and a lot of the character beats are right on with Indy and Marion. Sure there are eye-rolling…

"Don't worry Mr. Jones, it's just a mild case of paranoia. Take two LeCarres, and if that doesn't work we'll up the dosage to one Philip K. Dick short story per week."

I'll queue up Poirot on Netflix and listen to the soothing sounds of David Suchet and Hugh Fraser solving one of Mrs. Christie's whodunits. I've seen every one, and there's a comforting familiarity there (plus the music is great and playing "spot the UK actor before they became famous" is something to do between naps).

With all due respect, this cover pretty much sums up the essence of 80's Punisher:

Yeah, that's a shame - I thought she did really well in L&O, and they actually gave her character some personality and stuff to do (unlike poor Elisabeth Rohm).

The Pandora Directive and The Beast Within. My fondest gaming memories are of FMV mystery games, and these are probably the two best. At least once a year I’ll pull them out and give them another run through, basking in the glory of the 90's.

They probably have a Withering Glare-Off, followed by a good old-fashioned Raising Eyebrows Imperiously sesh.

YES.
