    Chappelle's hilarious. I hope he's going to put out another comedy special soon. His TV show gets all the praise, but his stand-up is on another level. There's a video on YouTube of him doing comedy for, like, four hours. He's mostly just riffing and trying out material, but it's amazing how funny he is when he's not

    I think it's the chain-smoking.

    No one (as far as I know) has put this theory forward, but I actually think Pynchon (if he appeared in the film at all) is one of the masked dentists we see very briefly after Martin Short's cameo.

    That's pretty much the exact progression I went through while watching this special.

    Which Jen Kirkman podcast?

    For me, the wildest thing about the Gawker accusations is that Louis CK hasn't addressed them in any way (to my knowledge). If the claims are untrue, that's amazing fodder for both his stand-up act and his TV show (especially since he depicted his TV character forcibly kissing Pamela Adlon last season). He's no

    I know that the Gawker article is a shoddily reported rumor-piece, but I'm surprised that other outlets haven't run with this. Google-searching tells me that Garfunkel and Oates have neither confirmed or denied it ever happened (perhaps, to be fair, because they find the claim patently ridiculous). But C.K. has never

    Bet Jay is thinking: "Sensitive thugs, ya'll all need hugs."

    The Wire's ending is still my favorite.

    I actually liked that the movie pulled a fast one and ended up being about Furiosa. Kind of a Trojan horse move on George Miller's part.

    Nah. Miller or a young up-and-comer of Miller's choice.

    Nina Simone was the shit. Period.

    Man, I would love to see one of his more improvisational sets. Those are practically legendary at this point.

    I think you're right that it was his first murder of the season. But then again, he's murdered so many people in cold blood—is that enough to send him over the edge? He was always less committed to the cause than Elizabeth. After hearing about his son in Afghanistan and telling Paige his secret, he sees the cycle of

    Maybe I should get in the habit of waiting until a series has completed its entire run before watching it. I'm sure if season four were already available, this finale wouldn't have annoyed me so much.

    As much as I like Martha, it does seem weird that she'd be able to live this long, given how trigger-happy the Jenningses are.
