Let me be the second here to say, yay Matt Zoller Seitz, perhaps the new greatest living critic. He's a genius, and next I'd like to see him write a book with a broader range of film-related subjects

Thanks! Considering my record at the Creative Arts emmys this year, probably, like, zero. Tomorrow's headline: "Downton Abbey, Veep, House of Cards, Phil Spector Big Winners at the Emmys."

I hope you're not right about House of Cards… I did not like that program one bit.

PREDICTION THREAD!!

Wow, that happened so gradually, I barely even noticed…

Boy, all those people in that Mongolian wedding clip sure did DIE NASTY.

Holy crap, I'm pretty sure that fine print contains the shooting script for the entirety of Breaking Bad thus far, or something! You're covering your asses better than Saul Goodman, there!

I really want to watch this episode, but…

Oh my god — is Ben Kenigsberg using D'Angelo's old chair, or something? Seriously, burn it all, because something in the AV Club offices is possessed by an anti-long-take demon. Like, really… have they eaten any fortune cookies recently, because I think they've switched brains a la Freaky Friday.

It was a sleepless Sunday night,
and Breaking Bad was airing.
The networks, they all quaked in fright;
their faces, terror wearing.

Yeah! Some of us are both those things!

I've got my ticket for the long SLEIGH round!
Two bottles EGG NOG for the way!
And I sure would like some SANTA CLAUS-pany,
For I'm leaving ON CHRISTMAS what do you say?
JINGLE BELLS.
JINGLE BIDDLY-BELLS.
You're gonna miss my JINGLE BELLS.
You're gonna miss me by my SNOW
You're gonna miss me by my CHRISTMAS
You're gonna miss…

In Soviet Russia, dream requiems YOU!

Intervention! (hey!) Shows excitement! (yow!) Or emotion! (ouch!) One guy is set across from his family, and they cry and scream and point! Lured by a pretense, the guy gets rid of his bong.
