This sounds fair, considering that I hear Darabont's original draft for the first film was incredible.

Not to leave the house for groceries? Or even to go to the bathroom?

I used to be a team leader at a call centre and the day I realised that it was the wrong job for me was when I had to discipline an employee for this exchange:

Ugh Grant Bowler is the fucking worst, he should go back to starring shitty Kiwi rip-offs of Shameless where he belongs.

So Don Draper's old neighbour Carlton turned out to be the ultimate Randian Übermensch? If only Bert Cooper had come to one of the Draper's dinner parties!

Seriously, that was so dull I thought it was Tarkovsky's Former AD.

I was at the cinema to see The Zero Theorem a few weeks ago and before the film started some dude a few rows behind started loudly & insufferably expressing his opinion on various directors and films and all I could think about was that scene from Annie Hall.

That was possibly my favourite "That's what she said" in the run of the show. The other two main contenders were when Dwight said it (in Travelling Salesmen?) whilst Michael is angry with him and Michael hisses "Don't you dare…" or, for cheap nostalgia's sake, when Michael said it to Dwight in the finale.

PC HAS GONE MAD BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN ACCEPT INTERRACIAL COUPLES WITHOUT QUESTION!

It looks like once again it's you, me and Lana against the world @avclub-22eda830d1051274a2581d6466c06e6c:disqus

I'm a Lana fan but demanding she receive praise for her 'risque lyrics and he6 60's 70's style' is pretty fucking ridiculous.

I have an ex who wanted to have twins named Pete & Carl. You'd like her mum though, she was obsessed with Jonathon Rhys-Myers.

Interesting fact: same actress as the neighbour's au pair that Pete Campbell raped in S3 of Mad Men.

"So, uhh… what are you trying to tell me here, little man? You don't like Zepp?"

In the late 00s, Page & Jones nearly reformed with Jason Bonham on drums and the singer from the band all the other members of Creed formed after they kicked out the Creed frontman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

That whole Finer Things plotline was way funnier than it had any right to be.

Yeah, the way they made Roy into a real character rather than just a hiss-worthy villain is one of the things the US version did much better than the original. I don't usually like comparing them because they are very different beasts but you have to give Daniels & Co. credit where it is due here.

The first Western I ever saw, such excellent memories!

Passionately.

I'm trying to work out which, if any, Manics songs 'sunburned psych-pop' would describe. I guess Tsunami and You Stole the Sun From My Heart were hits around 99, weren't they? That could sort of describe them maybe?
