I'm on your side: I can't stand Portlandia. It physically repulses me from rooms. For some reason, I find sarcastic mockery of hipsters ten times as irritating than the most hipstery hipster.

Weird thing about the first Left Behind movie: It's the only movie I know of that was released on DVD, and then released into theaters.

The Homer They Fall is pretty Moe-centric.

Not in my experience, in the way women comedians make jokes about men. (And I rarely hear women in real life make those jokes.)

Someone on The Dissolve was talking about their unironic love for Plan 9 (and how it was a better sci-fi movie than The Day The Earth Stood Still). I have that same stupid love for Red Zone Cuba. It's essentially V-Effekt, the movie.

It all works, but unless he wants to repeat everything it means that's not going to happen after Silence, which means that will all play out very differently.

Fuller confirmed on Twitter that Chilton's alive right after the episode where he got shot.

He's going to go off-text pretty far, apparently, if he's doing Hannibal in this upcoming season.

To be sliiiiightly fairer to the show, she was going to tell Jack her suspicions when she ran into Those Two Guys, who told her that Jack and Hannibal were both at the hospital; she assumed because Hannibal was there he'd be gone for a while, so she took her chance. But you're right, it's still ridiculous.

It's one thing to have characters survive things they seem like they shouldn't have; it's another to tell us they're dead and then have them show up alive. It's the latter that's bugging me about this show, really.

There's a lot I love about this show - it's the only show currently follow on TV - but yes, this is a completely unconvincing argument for me, and the way they keep bringing back characters - and try to convince you that characters (like Freddie) are dead when we all know they're not - is dampening my love of the show.

Please tell me you did that from memory.

I've spent the last couple hours off and on thinking about the various defenestrations of Prague, and by the end of it I couldn't remember what made me start thinking about them, and I just now realize it was this comment.

I have to admire the way that this show is willing to use effects that, depending on the viewer, might come off as totally silly. I mean, I have to admit, I laughed a little at the Jack/Hannibal split-screen, and with the little skull overlay, the statue-Freddie, the crying blood - it's incredibly confident.

There was a Curb Your Enthusiasm that got an A+, I believe.

"Yes, there will be some fun stuff with Hannibal's dinner party guests realizing they were fed human flesh, but that's a joke, not a story arc."

And then he tweeted something to the effect of "Chilton lives!"

This guy is definitely an honorary member of the Nicolas Cage Historical Society, a group I formed in college that lives on in my heart.

I actually don't even agree with the last part, at least in my experience with Christian fundamentalists. The stuff the Niagara Bible Conference and The Fundamentals (respectively, the conference and book series that I believe invented and popularized the term "fundamentalism") claimed to focus on the "five…
