Yeah, seriously. I even went to the artist's Tumblr, but didn't find it there on the first page of stuff.

Penn and Teller's Fool Us is a great show. I don't know if they're just re-running the British episodes or if they're making all new episodes, but it doesn't really matter since it's so entertaining, even for those that roll their eyes at magicians.

This was a fascinating article. I had no idea he won "Album of the Year" (or for that matter, that any comedy album won album of the year). I've been a fan of Bob Newhart's stand-up for so long, but I didn't know how much the whole idea of stand-up owes to him.

I'm pretty sure Netflix doesn't do anything at all. They just stream the film in whatever aspect ratio was provided to them by the studio/distributor.

It's a loose trilogy. You're not starting with Return of the King or anything, it just has a couple of characters held over from the previous book.

Yeah. Denial, bargaining, anger, self-pity, acceptance… you're gonna go through all five stages finishing up The Shield. It's gonna take a bit.

Well, first off, there's no wrong place to start with James Ellroy, he's an amazing writer. However I think the "best" way to read him is more or less in order of his works starting with his breakthrough novel The Black Dahlia.

That's a shame. I'm enjoying the hell out of this show, and I can see it lasting for several seasons easily. It's really good (though I'm a sucker for spy stories). FX usually is pretty forgiving to its shows ratings-wise as long as its hitting useful demos and the show has enough critical response. But as we saw with…

Joan's therapist… You know, you're right, that scene was a bit superfluous. I remember thinking that it was strange that the whole point of the scene was for her to remind Joan (and, by extension, us) that their sessions were confidential. But then I forgot all about it as I was engrossed in the rest of this fine…

My guess about why Nary and Jamie didn't own up to their actual jobs, and why Art and J.J. were so curious, is that they're Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. There's a rivalry between the Border Patrol and ICE, so the "teachers" probably wanted to keep their agency a secret to avoid becoming a team the BP…

I remember thinking that season 2 improved on season 1, and in a startling way. Season 1 had unbelievable action sequences nearly every single episode, and frequently ended episodes on the sort of cliffhanger most action shows would use for a season finale. Season 2, probably for budgetary reasons when Alias failed to…

Darryl is 100% right. Rosebud had no bearing on the man Kane became, it's just literally the last memory he has of being innocently happy. Everything after we see Kane as a child is about a man growing ever more rich, corrupt and miserable. Oscar's interpretation is just wrong, so wrong he misses the point of the…

Interesting, C+ huh? This was actually probably my favorite episode of this season (hopefully so  far). Tropes aside, the comedy was really, really sharp this week. There were a lot of excellent and unexpected jokes (Easily the best: Phil's sudden realization that it's not "strong" women he's attracted to), and they…

Let's be honest here, though, there's a huge problem with the show that these changes won't really fix: This is a mid-90s style sitcom being broadcast in 2011. I don't mean the 3-camera format which plenty of shows are making work well while feeling modern. I'm talking about the lazy rhythm of "Setup, Punchline,…
