I've been in Australia a few times, and each time I feel a strong need to give Vegemite another shot. Only recently did I pinpoint the cause: childhood viewings of that I Love Lucy episode where she shills "Vitameatavegamin."

I'm a big Ballast Point fan, but I did start to find it overt to the point of distraction this season. I can't decide if Ballast Point paid them, or Martin Starr insists on his character drinking "real beer"

I'm pretty sure Giamatti has ruined Merlot for an entire generation. I rarely touch the stuff, despite having always enjoyed it when it was presented to me.

I know "monologue" is still the proper term for any show intro, but somehow it feels weird when applied to this…

The best part of Inside Out coming out, is how it empowers commenters to point out the film's similarities to Herman's Head on every single review on the internet — even on those 95% of reviews which already acknowledge it. It's Avatar and FernGully all over again!

"I'm afraid…Lewis Black might be typecast as an angry fellow" made me laugh out loud

My thoughts exactly

I actually think the episodes with lower JPMs are the funnier ones. The most joke-heavy episodes of Season 4 have also somehow lacked the energy that made bingeing 1-3 so delightful.

C+ seems extreme. I thought this was a lovely little film, with exactly the sort of unconvincing detachment you'd expect of characters in this particular stage of life.

I was one of the heart-on-sleeve hipsters who saw Me and Earl and the Dying Girl but hasn't yet caught Jurassic World. The former was lovely — like 50/50 meets Scott Pilgrim. Like so many films of this style, it doesn't quite nail the landing. But the tone it strikes, for the most part, is pitch perfect.

"It's spelled Rinot!"

It's hard to imagine Sandman without punching, but as long as Thomas Hayden Church reprises that immortal role, I'll still be on board. I'm hoping we get a mini Sideways reunion with Giamatti's The Rhino while we're at it.

I stopped watching The Office in real time after season ~4, and conventional wisdom about its dipping quality kept me from returning. When Parks hit its stride, I was pretty confident that it was way better than The Office had ever been. But this year after P&R ended, I rewatched The Office in its entirety. And I…

I've known fellow PhD students who dabbled in comedy at Stanford. I think you'd be surprised what universal themes you can glean from any life, much less one so particularly depressing.

I watched Brady Bunch reruns virtually every night for years as a child. And I was a child in the 90's.

Gotta call "Click Bait" on this one. $1.5M / 8 years is basically a decent low-level executive salary. It'd be a lot for one of us, but hardly out of the realm of possibility for a movie star.

The internet may have forced me into a state of constant cynicism, but I hope I'm never too cynical to appreciate a heartfelt apology like the one Jason Alexander gave here. It's a gracious gesture, with a sincere lack of flare that only a man still using TwitLonger could accomplish.

As a huge fan of Kozelek in all incarnations, I agree with virtually all of this. Though I'd go rogue and add What's Next To The Moon, the vaguely-ACDC-cover record, to the short list (I know, I know, most fans disagree.) It showcases the Americana sound he perfected with Ghosts, but with a stripped down intimacy that…

It's hard to think of a musician whose real-life demeanor is more at odds with his music. Listen to "Lost Verses" or anything off of Ghosts of the Great Highway (let alone RHP's "Have You Forgotten" or "Revelation Big Sur") and imagine the singer as a misogynistic asshole…

What magic brought Jen Kirkman and Jenn Wasner together, and how can I learn more about it?
