What if Albert Brooks had cast Albert Einstein in one of his movies?!?

Nah, Debbie wouldn't let him.

"Remember when you went outside… the other day?"
"Yeah…"
"And you were, like, 'Emilio!'"
"Yeah…"
"That was awesome."

People found you crazy for liking Zooey? I don't think these are actually "people".

Logic isn't something that requires belief. You either utilize it or ignore it. I choose to utilize it when analyzing something. Most people don't, which is tragic.

@avclub-589622fb3974db41fbe4a37b78d8585c:disqus  If you reward something, people will do more of that thing. That's logic, not an opinion. I didn't say that the poor want to be poor, nor did I say that every poor person won't try to stop being poor. I said that if you have safety nets, then it encourages people to…

@avclub-01ca29cc78b0482f461c213c8e27f7aa:disqus Which fact do you think I got wrong?

No, I'm 100% serious. I am not in any way associated with the Tea Party though. I am basically an unregistered libertarian, which means that I want government to do the absolute minimum it needs to do so that everyone can live their lives as they see fit. The Federal government has become way too big over the last few…

Many years ago (it may have changed by now, but I haven't heard that it has) theaters paid roughly 50% of the box office gross to the distributor over the entire run. In the first weekend or two, theaters paid 70%, and this went down by 5 or 10% each week until hitting 35%, the minimum a distributor would accept. So…

@avclub-e9470886ecab9743fb7ea59420c245d2:disqus does, above.

I really don't remember, but this would have been 1989, so I'll just say "Leviathan".

Oddly, I didn't lift her head up off of his dick to see.

I see what you did there.

I'll take that as a "Like"!

I used to manage theaters and I or others on staff have caught several people doing exactly that. For free! Though my best story is that one night I was closing, and we always walked the theaters to make sure everyone was out. This was ages ago, and the theater in question was the kind you don't see anymore -…

@avclub-1d5f36370c7ddcd55c96c2fb6bd11ead:disqus I didn't dismiss them, I answered them all and stated that I didn't think some of them were important. If your opinion of the show hinged on where the statue came from/who built it and every other minor "mystery", then you were watching a show that would never satisfy…

Haters gonna hate, and he is the most visible of the people involved with the show, in terms of responding to people about the show. In part, he brought this on himself, hence the decision to write this article.

Noted. You are relieved from ever commenting about LOST again.

@avclub-1d5f36370c7ddcd55c96c2fb6bd11ead:disqus As @Beast_of_man:disqus explained, "The big things were explained. Everything else is just flavor".

@avclub-589622fb3974db41fbe4a37b78d8585c:disqus Well, I guess we fundamentally disagree that "other countries' systems of government are better". While I agree the current shutdown isn't very good for appearances, we have "non-essential" employees not working, which is a great thing. If they're "non-essential", why do…
