I really enjoyed From Paris With Love.

I'd really like to see someone gin up a defense for Superman Returns. I really would.

I want to believe.

Does Matt Groening still do intros for Simpsons DVDs? If so, does he basically say 'yeah, I'm still cashing the checks and I'm done apologizing for this shit at this point'?

Whatever, buddy. I remember looking forward to Thursday nights for The Simpsons.

I think it's funny that the show perpetually has everyone driving cross-town to meet each other for dramatic, three-minute conversations. This show could've taken place three or four decades ago without blinking.

Rocko?

This was the fourth Nicktoon and it was the most clever of them all. It feels odd, but it was definitely a predecessor to snarky, more mature shows like the Adult Swim lineup. Also: I missed every single mature reference in there as a kid. Every single one. I have no idea how that show aired, in retrospect.

Nah, he was still probably modelling nude for art students back then.

I remember reading the radio play, which adds a segment regarding their Beggar's Canyon run before the droids' arrival. It. Is. Thrilling.

Only on very old hardware or when there's plenty of capital going around. Taking two new systems with potential hardware problems, then voiding warranties when special parts can't be ordered and components can't be replaced means another trip to buy and rip apart another game system. Although The Big Bang Theory…

That was probably the saddest note in the episode.

That's interesting because The Avengers was an awful film.

You can call him Ray! Or you can call him Jay!

Dear God. I remember that was one of a handful of 'jump the shark' episodes when I still watched it. Has it truly been that long? Oh, man…

At this point, I think I'd settle for a 'dismal' $37k a year.

Finally got to see I Heart Huckabees recently. That film is pretty great. The funniest scene - no idea why - is when he infiltrates Lily Tomlin's office and he knocks the melon off the shelf. It cracks as it hits the floor and he just kicks it away. So absolutely absurd. Love it.

Bombcast nowhere to be found? Wtf.

Arcade Fire's "Reflektor". I'm pretty mad the rest of the album doesn't live up to that.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned "Two Bad Neighbors" from the previous season, in which former President George H.W. Bush moves in across the street and Bart manages to be an intruder. It evoked the same 'hard to watch' feelings that resurfaced here in which I was forced to side with the Simpsons to avoid that nasty…
