He's not just asking that, he's asking for one of the fictional characters on Louie to accept the real-life Louie's casting choice. Completely fucking asinine and nonsensical.

In re Pamela calling Louie out for his ex-wife being black: no idea what the reviewer up there is thinking by essentially lowering the episode grade a letter because Pamela questioned this. Reviewer saying, 'We can’t just accept this as a casting choice?' is about as asinine as it gets. She's not a viewer of Louie,…

Oh man, as soon as she told him to get in, I thought about Archimedes and how there was no way it wasn't going to overflow.

In re Ahran picking Francis B: IIRC, he picked her pretty early on in the army challenge last week when he was team captain. She was maybe his 3rd pick? Maybe there's a mutual respect thing or a friendship thing going on. They seem to like each other, at the very least on a platonic level. I wasn't surprised that she…

-Grits can be ok plain, but they're mainly a type of flavor sponge. @rain below compared them to potatoes, I'd also compare them to plain oatmeal. You can pretty much add whatever you want to them (within reason).

Is this because of the high sugar content, ie do you have to avoid all sweets? I know for some people it's chocolate, some people it's rapid changes in temperature, etc. Fuck migraines.

Hey everyone! Masterchef is also on tonight. Let's all meet up at tomorrow's What's on Tonight? to discuss!

Hippies: They don't care whose toes they step on!

Swell Maps! I love you, sir/madam.

I don't often get to read these posts fully, but I do appreciate what you're doing here. Please keep these posts coming!

Jesus, you're still doing this? It was dumb the first 50 times. Please give it a rest. You're talking about something being formulaic while basically just cutting and pasting your commentary over and over.

Or you could stop being so rigid in your expectations. Why does it even matter what the style is? Life itself is all sorts of different things, there's no reason to 'expect' a thing to be a certain way and then diminish your enjoyment of it because it turns out to be something else. Completely bewildering to me that…

Bettman sounded a little drunk to me. Then again, I'd had a few myself, so maybe it was just me.

I maintain that persecution complex is becoming more a pervasive tactic by the right with each passing issue. The rich are being persecuted to pay more taxes when there are people 'who don't even pay taxes'. A school shooting will bring about preemptive verbal strikes from gun nuts (Joe the Plumber's 'your dead kids…

It's funny that WGN is doing so poorly because this is the golden age of TV money for baseball. Seriously; go check out how much YES and SNY are worth, or how much money the Angels and Dodgers get. WGN dropping the Cubs is probably a great thing for the Cubs in terms of dollars. If they start their own network, they…

Haha, I actually wouldn't mind that for a brief period. It'd be interesting to see how the hell one could rise to popularity.

Oh God, I hesitate to call anyone this, but Jeff Dunham just might be the worst popular comedian out there. I can't believe Comedy Central airs his racist and all-around terrible shit all the time. I guess because his stuff is against Arabs people find it OK. I was flipping through the channels the other day and he…

Ah, I see. That kind of sucks because you did a really good job there. Yours is one of the few posts where I'd like to see pics/vid. I wonder if AVClub will ever take a Kinja-like approach and allow commenters to have their own posts. I hate Kinja, but that is one thing they do right.

Wow, I had no idea that the guy who did Schindler also did Cool As Ice. I tried watching Ice once and couldn't make it beyond 10 minutes.
