Wait, there were multiple episodes of that thing? Welp, I know what I'm watching tonight.

I think it's much less about his actual output and more about his attitude. He seems full of himself and comes off like he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. All of the shitty parts of Andy Millman from 'Extras'; that's who Ricky Gervais seemed to turn into.

Merchant as Darren Lamb in 'Extras' is what made that show for me. Every time he was on screen was hilarity, particularly any scene with Barry.

His wikipedia lists two weights, 243 and 400. 243 was his weight when he played basketball. I had the same thought, like no way is this guy only 243 pounds and going for World's Strongest Man.

I totally agree. The only positive to avoiding the show was that I got to shotgun both seasons at once. I couldn't stop watching. Based on the promos, I was prepared to loathe Jimmy, but his balanced quirks, flaws, and silly obsessions made me love him. I can't wait until the next season.

I'm still pretty annoyed with FXX for making me avoid the first season of You're The Worst. The promo was very off-putting, and the only reason I went back and watched it was the AVClub reviews.

Not an indictment of this show by any means (even though I've never been a fan), but holy shit does the promo for this season look awful. The Comedy Central marketing department have outdone themselves. It's like they're fighting the FX marketing department for inferiority.

Threw this album on a few weeks ago for the first time in years and it's still awesome. Plenty of albums that I liked from that era don't hold up or affect me in the same way. This one holds up completely.

I was unaware of that, now I have something to check out. Thanks!

haha, that's great!

It's so bushy and stiff it's like someone took a Christmas wreath and spraypainted it black.

He's one of the most vile humans in show business. He's a colossal moron and a titanic jerk. If he weren't such a douche, I would feel bad for mocking his appearance, but good God is he a disgusting, slimy hog-man.

haha, one of my co-workers has that book on the shelf in his cubical with the back facing outward. I'm surprised no one has ever said anything to him.

That's the joke.

He's the star of Torque and the upcoming Hot Tub Time Machine 2!

I don't know where you're getting the idea that I think Metzger 'means' every piece of dialogue he's saying. That is indeed 'ridiculous'. I'm not being 'challenged' by Metzger; he's an asshole. I've seen plenty from him. He's not a 'random' comedian; I've seen tons of his tweets (dude fires out ten million tweets any…

Wasn't a big fan of Year Zero or Wilderness Heart, but for some reason I am pretty pumped to hear this one. Pre-ordered the LP a few months back, and I can't wait. Along with this, Carpenter's Lost Themes, Eno's The Ship, GBV, and Wire, April will be a nice month for music.

I might have to go back and rewatch Waking Life. The only time I saw it (like 5-6 years ago), I hated it. I found it really shallow and boring. But I always see praise for it.

Did someone photoshop Jim Gray's forehead? Dude's looking like Sam the Eagle these days.

It was a time waster, plain and simple. I say this as a Johnny Cash fan. If I want to listen to him, I can just play his songs. If they didn't use this song, they probably wouldn't have even had the montage. It was dogshit.
