I watched Party Down before Veronica Mars, and whenever Ken Marino showed up he was funny, but I kept thinking "This character doesn't use him to his full potential." As an acting showcase Party Down probably should get more credit - the cast has to perform some extremely bleak emotional moments while still being…

"The truth shall set you free. Martin Luther King said that."
"Actually, it was Jesus."
"Also black."

Her description of a mug with a horse rearing back is so great that I had a mug fitting that description made for my wife for Christmas a few years ago.

"He wants to have sex with the porcupine, but it keeps pricking him."

"So what I propose is that we change this to read, 'She's in for two surprises… no, no, 'She's in the for some surprise.' Because that leaves the door open for all sorts of…"
"You know what, you don't get the screener."

"Napoleon Dynamite! You Napoleon Dynamite, yeah?"
"Fuck no!"
(Cold glower)
"Bring cheese. And brandy."

Beth Dover's delivery of the "monkey heart" line is maybe the most perfect single moment in the series. Even though I like Another Period, I'm a little bummed that she never gets a chance to play drunk and talk about monkey hearts.

From your description of this movie (which I haven't seen yet), I will predict that you won't enjoy I Am the Pretty Thing.

The only way I could enjoy Sleeping Dogs was to try and play it like a linear game and get from one place to the next as efficiently as possible.

I sort of loved the PS1 era, when the difference between in-game graphics and cutscenes was so stark it was almost post-modern. The Resident Evil games spring to mind, since they handled some non-interactive scenes with the game engine and others with pre-rendered (or in the first game, FMV) cutscenes.

Talking Dick… is that one of the things on HR Puffnstuff?

I had the PC version of Fate of Atlantis, and (in addition to some little tweaks in the sound and music) the most noticeable change was adding a "sucker punch" button that would end every fight with a single punch. It was total bullshit, but it really made the game more fun.

I can honestly say that I played Oblivion for months before I really noticed that every single elf tomb looks exactly the same. Up until then I would just think "Man, look at the way the light glances off those marble walls."

I bought a used first-gen Xbox 360, and it developed Red Ring of Death when I tried to play Dead Space. I was trying to be budget-conscious, but I just ended up buying two Xboxes (and selling the broken one to my cousin for $20 - he got it running for a few months).

I got my SNES for Christmas of 1992, and it was ruined in a flood around Christmas of 2015. The third-party controller had pretty much crapped out by then, but the original Nintendo-made controller still worked.

I remember the episode where he borrows money from them made me extremely uncomfortable as a child because they're so relentlessly cruel, and he's obviously better than them.

The last season has a lot of great moments, but the scene where Roger is trying to hustle Ken one last time really got me. Ken's resigned "This has gone long enough" speaks to why he never really fit in at the company - he doesn't like Roger, but he doesn't get off on stringing him along either.

There's that great anecdote on one of those DVDs about the scene where Ben Horne takes a giant bite of a sandwich and delivers several lines with his mouth full of food - Lynch did multiple takes because he wanted the character's mouth so full that the dialog was completely unintelligible. And when you watch the…

That was maybe my favorite line from the entire series. Of course Pete Campbell's ancestors were Loyalists.

Where would you rank Erik Roberts' portrayal?
