Nah man, Gelman was acting like some sycophantic journalists do and the joke was that instead of giving him a couple of playfully cutting remarks he said what a normal person would be compelled to say in that situation. The joke was the emotional turn. You are reading too much into it if you think it was real.

I can't believe I watched this for two and a half minutes, what the fuck was I supposed to get out of this. Unfunny, unclever, uninsightful.

Honestly I prefer Adam Goldberg to Adam Goldberg. I love Adam Goldberg, but I fucking hate that other Adam Goldberg.

I liked Leonard Peirce review of the new tool album

Cough cough Game Of Thrones cough

No, it's fucking terrible. Fuck you. You suck if you like that movie. You have no taste in film and you are basically a garbage person.

You should see the state of our plays and films over here man, they're just stuffed with skinny dudes who got passed over by all the american studios. A local production of Rocky Horror had to shut down because they couldn't find an actor with enough bulk to play A Creation, even our mall Santas look like sitck…

Although I agree with your sentiment that pop culture is a distraction from the important issues in life, I think you are under-estimating the value of being distracted. Having a form of escapism keeps us from becoming overwhelmed by the issues you mentioned. A purely serious life where all one thinks about are…

He's entered the David Attenborough stage of his career.

Are we talking about Ira Glass or Chris Hardwick? Hardwick seems like a classic closet case.

The 'conversation' was one of the worst part of that movie to me. Animals don't communicate with that level of complexity. The most they are ever saying is 'this is my mine', 'danger nearby', 'you'd better fuck off' or 'come mate with me'. That is seriously the extent of most reptile and bird communication. I can't…

I didn't get that line at all.

I love the idea that the I-Rex planted the scratch marks intentionally to make it SEEM like it'd escaped then intentionally made itself invisible to the infrared technology. That's such a dumb reading. The I-rex altering it's body heat and the scratch-marks were coincidental. The I-rex doesn't have a PLAN, it's not a…

I felt bad for the fat Security guard, although his death scene was legitimately scary, so I'll give the movie that.

I knew from the moment he got into that helicopter that he was going to die. That dude was hubristic as fuck. Still I think the redhead deserved to bite the big one a lot more than he did. He actually cared about the animals well-being and all she cared about was customer satisfaction surveys and sales figures. The…

Fishburne and Weaving should have gotten a lot more to do with oneanother in the sequels. They set up the perfect revenge narrative with Morpheus almost killed by Smith in the first movie. Oh the things those sequels could have been but weren't. That being said, I still think there's a fairly good stretch of that…

How do you become so popular and significant with such unbelievably shitty production values? His limitations as a film-maker, even of youtube content should automatically disqualify him from film criticism.

The closest series to Mad Max I can think of is Robert Rodriguez's El Mariarchi series. He describes those films on one of their commentary tracks as less like a linear series of narratives and more like the evolution of a folk myth, which is why things become increasingly ungrounded as they go along, details from…
