I'm gonna have to go with @avclub-4dae7032e72753a6c9d24a71307f561f:disqus on this one.  The whole idea of Peter disappearing from the timeline, basically cancelling out (at least partially) the first three seasons just overly complicated a plot that had been perfectly complicated prior to that.  I have enjoyed it, but…

Well, i guess i mean that he's over-rated here.  The A.V. Club commenters tend to speak of him as if he's the second coming of late night.  Like i said, i do like him and think he's an enjoyable guy in a conversation, but i don't find the comedy on his show funny at all.  Somebody here linked a clip from his show a…

Yeah, in our town (pop. 3200) we had two video stores: Mr. Video and Star Video Centre (yes, that's with an "re").  Star Video Centre was the weird one, where i rented things like Nashville, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, Citizen Kane, and The Conversation.  But before we had a VCR, i had to rent one, and only Mr.…

The people i've read who seem to get this right say that film is an *editors* medium, which would seem not to exclude sound from the equation.

Ah yes, Night Flight.  where i first saw Rock N' Roll High School.  And recorded an old Genesis concert on my VCR.  It's what i did Friday and Saturday nights in high school before my friends and i had cars— and many times after we had cars.  That lady announcer's voice… those cheesy 80's "neon" graphics… the wierd…

I also love when Laura's mom is "remembering" looking in Laura's room, and sees Bob crouching in the corner, peering over the edge of Laura's bed.  One of my favorite images in anything, ever.

I'd seen Dune, The Elephant Man and Eraserhead, but i didn't fall in love with David Lynch until Twin Peaks, with Blue Velvet shortly after.

What Jimmy Kimmel did to Leno on his own show just days after spending an entire hour mocking him on Jimmy Kimmel Live, no one would have even dared thinking about doing something like that to Carson. yet Kimmel was almost universally praised for it. Leno is nothing compared to Carson.

watching this documentary, the thing that stood out the most about johnny, for me, was his willingness to give it up for the guest, and very often completely break up at what a guest said or did.  he would totally crack up at that shit.  that, and he just seemed so comfortable, so at ease, up there.  like he was…

you sure like calling millions of people you never knew "idiots" a lot.

I have never, even as a kid, found Lucy, or anything that happens on her show, funny.  And i always felt bad for Fred.

They had to cgi Jason Biggs' entire "personality".

I'm sure you were probably not going for an exact equivalency, but i feel that someone should point out that The Big Bang Theory is no Carlin, Hicks or Bruce.

Never played the Vectrex, but i remember reading a review of it in
Electronic Games magazine— it sounded pretty awesome and looked cool. 
I'm jealous.

WHO THE F*** ATE ALL MY HARDBOILED EGGS???

I really like season 4 of lost.  Don't know if it's my favorite, but if it isn't, it's damn close.  I'll let you know when i get the blu-rays and do my series re-watch this summer.

The agent gives a pretty good eye roll when she's on the phone with Adrianna, who's in tears, talking about the Chris thing.  I think there was a bit of contempt there.  But i noticed that in the interrogation room, after Ade throws up, she takes a pretty good look at Ade's bracelet.  Was that jealousy, or was it a…

EDIT: Didn't realize that this was the joke one.

I have no problem with Vito being gay, or his running off to avoid the repercussions of his outing to the rest of the outfit.  What i do have a problem with is the show following him to some B&B in Vermont for some unbelievable love affair with one of the members of The Village People (a fireman, no less!).  It was…

And it's not just the "atmosphere" stuff that plays while they're in the booth late at night (although that is very important, too).  It's music that entire scenes are built around that are totally ruined.  The scene where Les has his "date" with Jennifer for the awards ceremony, and he tries on that wig.  Foreigner's…
