Not a great year for movies, in my opinion. I think Uncle Boonmee was probably the best thing I saw. I haven't checked out everything on your list yet though.

i'm assuming paul tompkins' release was too late for consideration in this list?

Love you Sean but mayhaps you unconsciously lifted some phrasing for your headline from Daily Intel? http://nymag.com/daily/ente…

DO NOT miss Improv4Humans this week. Best one yet. Trust me you don't want to be the only guy in homeroom who doesn't know about the multiple referee.

WE KNOW YOU ARE READING THIS

HARRIS, WE ALL KNOW WHAT A NERD YOU ARE. WE KNOW YOU ARE DYING TO MIX IT UP DOWN HERE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION. JUST SUCCUMB TO YOUR WORST INSTINCTS ALREADY AND COME PLAY IN THE SHIT

although to be honest after watching the video i'm starting to drift back toward this being an elaborate comments gag

so dawes is a real band, huh? really, really thought it was just a comments gag

I admit that Scott loves to dabble with really dry anti-comedy, and I will also admit that I can't always read what he's joking about and what he's not. However I got the very distinct vibe that some of his impatience with Laime was genuine.

I lol'd at the sound of Scott actually getting pissed off at Elizabeth Laime for weighing anchor on so many bits.

So how about those magic walkies that transmit regardless of whether a person is pressing the button?

I don't understand this at all. How hard is it to post a link to an mp3 on a website? You really need fucking Apple Computers to help you do this?

Ok, I'm confused…wasn't there already a horrible sequel to this movie? Why is this article and all of these comments written as if I dreamed that whole thing?

"To cite a particularly egregious example of Studio 60 showing rather than telling, "

This theory relies on a premise that I can't support, but I'm glad we're on the same page about what an insufferable asshole this guys comes off as. I tend to have pretty similar taste to Todd, but I have no idea what the disconnect is in the case of Grammer.

I think Boss will not hold up well by comparison, not just in overall quality-of-show (admittedly not a fair fight), but specifically in verisimilitude of local politics. The politics in this show so far remind me most of The Killing. Lots of people way too handsome and clever for local politics, acting far too…

It's just the industry overheating, I think. A lot of good TV in the aughts has left everybody super-primed for the next big thing. Cf. The Killing.

It was about Kathleen Robertson being smoking, and the writing on this show being not so great, if the first episode is any indication.

I really don't know how you can maintain this perspective after The Wire. I'm not saying that every show needs to be as good, but 'a political series that focuses on a more local part of government, and it's not about political topics, but how politics work, the machineries and political machines' - it's not as if…

So, I hate to be That Guy, but am I the only one who found Kelsey Grammer to be the weakest part of this very weak first episode?
