There was nothing messy about The World's End. It's one of the most solidly written and put together comedies in recent years. Structure wise its a brick shithouse.

Me too. I think its the best thing they've done together. The World's End is massively underappreciated. Its their most sub-textually and stylistically rich film.

Letterman did it years before The Simpsons.

Thanks sincerely for the metric conversions, but just for future ref you can go ahead and convert '2 cups' as '500mls' or indeed '2 cups'. Ain't no one measuring out 480mls.

Live fade out. As opposed to a tape fade out.

So, um, Carrie & Debbie : OG Gilmore Girls, yeah?

Richard Kind didn't become well known until the 90's with the hit NBC sitcom "Mad About You" but that didn't stop him from kicking me in the balls.

Well, "Fuck me dead' is one Australian idiom I didn't expect to make the Pacific crossing.

Really?I think with maybe the exception of the Burning Man ep, every episode of this season has been consistent in its excellence.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Season 4 has perhaps the highest hit rate of all-time classic Buffy eps than any other season, but thanks to fucking Riley (and Adam) it's forever dumped into the "weakest season" debate rotation.

Nah that was Phil Rudd I think. Mal has dementia.

Not if Malcolm was still about. He ran a tight ship.

The opposite for me. I quite liked it on first viewing - I mean I recognized it as a failure but at least an interesting one. However on repeat viewings its flaws consume it and it becomes clear its a deeply unintelligent adaptation of a profoundly intelligent work.

Clearly he shouldn't have touched the Man of Steel as he obviously hates Superman as a character.

Quite frankly, I loved this movie. And it was beautifully shot.

Actually 'technically" OFF or OFF OF in not correct. The word "base" implies something on which a thing or things stands. When we say a movie or a story is based on another work or, say, true events we mean it is the basis or foundation of the new work. Alternatively when we say a thing is "off base" we mean that it…

"The Disaster Artist is based off of the memoir of the same name"

"Mel is a delightful person and a wonderful director, and a total joy to
work with, as I’m sure you can imagine. And to get a call from him to go
