I know a guy who got 3 tattoos when he was 18: A pokeball on his bicep, a triforce on his back, and an Umbreon on his shin. He says chicks dig it.

Nothing puts the Christ back in Christmas like consumerism!

Yes (well, if you're pronouncing tour like 'store'), and there was a more defined space in between. I guess I had just never seen it so much or heard it aloud.

I've been a fan of 30 rock for the past 6 or so years and have watched through the first few seasons four or five times, but only now have I realized the pun in the title "Jack-tor".
My life has lost all meaning.

A lot of great narration in Shawshank. "The last thing that went through his head—aside from the bullet…"

I think the most surprising thing is just how absolutely terrible the backing instrumentation is. I guess it's just there because people don't like a capella music.

Yeah, agreed. Just because something has more explicit content doesn't make it any more mature. I see the Avatar series as relatively light fantasy fare, like Star Wars, and it wouldn't benefit from any gore or language or sex scenes. The first two just don't mesh with the tone of the series, and the last would just

I dunno, Zuko was pretty easily brushed aside by Ghazan when he tried to stop them from breaking out P'li.

The dumbest moment in the movie, though, is when they have to break into Pete Campbell's safe. The daughter guesses the password as being Charles Darwin's birthday and guess what! She's right!

I was hoping he could get at least win guest actor for his 10 seconds in the season finale of Parks and Rec.

Not sure how deep the "Breaking Bad final season give them all the awards" effect will be given that the show ended around nine months ago. For as amazing as the last season was, I'm thinking a lot of voters will better recall more recent fervor for True Detective.

Nothing really comes from Mesa, Arizona, except some football players and Jimmy Eat World, neither of which make me especially proud. If we widen things up to the Phoenix area, though, we get Emma Stone, a litany of porn stars, and parts of Steven Spielberg's broken childhood.

Funny that this coincided with their Best of the Worst with Killing American Style Cop.

While I agree that the Landry/Tyra relationship was handled very poorly in season 2, I do like the way that it's handled here. Landry makes some pretty great points and shows that he does, in a lot of ways, deserve Tyra better than anyone else. The problem is that quality of character doesn't make for compatibility.

I quite like this. Nothing groundbreaking, but smart and dynamic enough to keep me interested. I'll definitely check out more from the band. Also, it may be obvious, but if this week doesn't feature "Summer Babe (winter version)" then we will be having a big problem.

Rixty Minutes beats Takiawase, but Mizumono beats Rixty Minutes.

Yeah, musicians in movies about independent musicians need to be decent independent musicians, not Adam Levine.
I really, really, really wanted to love Once, and while I liked it overall, I think its songs are just too blandly poppy to give the emotional weight they need to. The "indie musicians" in Carney's movies

My high school did a production of Into the Woods, and I could have understood making these changes for that setting because holy crap, that seduction scene was awkward.
