The part where he wishes that everyone would stop pretending they enjoyed making and eating food, and then complains that the alternative built to rid him of this terrible burden is not convenient enough.

I'm from England, so my parents' Muppets were two beer-drenched wool socks that repeatedly told them to give up on hope and a live pig with the word "Comedy" written on it it marker.

"Eating is, at root, just a regular biological process like urinating or defecating." If you honestly believe that, I have no way of understanding anything you say or do.

I'd been avoiding Swanberg because Mumblecore sounds like a genre made up just to annoy me, but I ended up really enjoying that. I'm looking forward to checking out his other stuff now!

I like Luhrmann for what he is: Big and loud and ridiculous, without much reason for it. Australia is the prime example of that. It's cliched and silly and too long, but it's also gleeful in it's own ridiculousness, and I can kinda get behind that.

In theaters- Age Of Ultron
At Home - Drinking Buddies (just over halfway through it as we speak. Taking a break for food)

Yeah, that's very true of S6. Part of me thinks though that one of the reasons the direction and editing have been so bad this season is that it's hard to have motivated shots and cuts when your script is a meandering mess. So they just have the camera linger there, hoping for a punchline or denouement that never…

I think it's also that I don't go to the movies that much, so I'll often go for big outings with friends, and getting all your friends to go see Under The Skin is a lot more difficult than getting them to go see Avengers.
My wife and I used to do this thing when we lived in the UK where we'd just show up to our local…

Yeah, thought I feel like it's really the writing that's suffered the most in the seasons 5 and 6. Those things are off too, but they've always served the writing, so when the writing is not good (or abysmal) there's only so much they can do.

I started to make the list. I'm at 160 films in the range 2001-2013, but I know there's some missing (mainly stuff that I didn't see on the Wikipedia list, probably because it's embarrassing to remember those movies came out. 2009's Notorious, or 2008's Semi-pro, for example).
What I am finding out is that, while I…

Yeah, it took a couple episodes to find it's footing, but I think you're right. S1 Community is still fantastic. It just feels like Harmon is missing someone or something this season, and I was wondering if this was the common denominator for the not-so-great seasons.

I'm attempting it as a quick break from coding. I'm using an IMDb list of Most Popular Features for each year to try and jog my memory. So far it hasn't been too embarrassing, but I'm sure that will change.

I'd love to try this, but I'm worried it's gonna come out that the only movies I've seen in theaters for the past, like 5 years have been superhero movies. (And a couple blockbusters I guess)

If you only catch one, make sure it's Road Warrior. Mad Max is good, but not like, mind-blowing. I'm not a huge fan of Thunderdome, it has some great visuals, but plot and stakes-wise, it just doesn't quite hang together, leaving it feeling weirdly bloated an inconsequential. Road Warrior, OTOH, is fantastic cinema.

Well jesus. I better get into a good headspace before watching it then.

It showed up online right around the time Beat The Champ came out, and I still think they wasted an opportunity by not interviewing John Darnielle. But it's a great episode. The story of The Montreal Screwjob is just fantastic.

I think at some level you've just got to trust that the system isn't broken that fundamentally. Like, you know you didn't plagiarize, anyone reading your essay knows you didn't plagiarize. So even with all that highlighting that shows up, the system is set up to distinguish those references from real plagiarization.…

No, but I hear great things. I will look into it forthwith.

Personal Community theory: Dino Stamatopoulos (Starburns) is the secret ingredient needed to take the show from good to great.
Evidence:
He has the writing chops, having worked with Louis CK, Bob Odenkirk and Charlie Kaufman on everything from Conan to Mr. Show.

Well it's gotta be Deadfall for one of them, right?
