Wesley Wyndam-Pryce [has] the single best character arc in the Buffyverse.

Why is this always an excuse? Fox started X-Files on Friday night and that turned out alright for everybody. I think that not promoting it was much more of a factor. I had a TiVo and a ReplayTV recording all kinds of crap at the time Firefly aired and I only heard of the show in 2004 on a message board talking about…

I actually finished that book and should have put it down after 10 pages. It wasn't terrible, but it certainly didn't live up to the hype. I should have just read A Short History of Nearly Everything again.

One of those guys should be the next James Bond.

@ASFan:disqus  I saw a happy ending for everyone in the movie and  @avclub-63706c2231765ca840e9a60a76fae00a:disqus saw Ira losing his crappy job and George not getting the girl. Who's glass is half-empty?
Ira is most definitely the protagonist. Stories don't have to concentrate 100% on the protagonist - go read…

I didn't forget about it at all. It's just irrelevant. The last 45 minutes are from a completely different and vastly inferior movie.

Studios don't care about "quality". They care about putting butts in seats.

I brought this movie up at a Dragon*Con panel this past weekend, and there were just groans and one, "Seriously? Another one?"

Thank you. I am now imagining Arnold as Dale Cooper demolishing some pie and coffee.

See Batman/Superman, Star Wars Ep 7, etc…

Ah Chris Eigeman. How is that man not more famous? I think he took a wrong turn at It's Like, You Know (which I of course liked).

He could definitely play a less annoying version of Taylor Doose.

What I say: Brazil, The Remains of the Day, and The Conversation.
What I mean: Kicking and Screaming. "Go away, Cookie Man!"

I would argue for Skyfall for a few reasons. One, way too long anyway. Two, um, call for backup. Three, needless death just for the sake of change in the next movie.

If it "just appears to be about one thing before revealing the true nature of the story in that final 40 minutes", then it did a monumentally shitty job of setting up the final 40 minutes.

This is what I was saying above (but probably after you). I was drawn in by the weird relationship between George and Ira, and how George was dealing with his mortality. Then suddenly, it's (er, spoiler alert) Disease Gone! Happy days are here again. Let's go bonk my ex-girlfriend and have everyone live happily ever…

You're a very glass-half-empty kind-of person aren't you? Also, Ira (Rogen) is the protagonist, not George (Sandler). I mean the last 45 minutes of the movie where George gets to be happy (and have sex with) with the love of his life for a little bit, pretending to be in a family. Then the jerk husband realizes he…

I still say, "Quick goat-thinking" whenever I or one of my friends has a great idea.

He could bring back the first-90-minutes-of-Funny-People Adam Sandler. That movie was destined for greatness until the sitcom ending ruined it.

I love that Wikipedia article!
