U2 has some fucking banger openings. Joshua Tree, War, All That You Can’t Leave behind and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb particularly. 

Klaus’s 2nd interaction with Allison’s husband was hilarious.  “Family barbecues are about to get really weird!”

I came to the comments to see if anyone would suggest this, though I’d probably choose “Sunday Bloody Sunday” on U2's “War” instead. That drum opening gets me every time!

People can say it is trite, but the keyboard and guitar opening of the Joshua Tree album for Where the Streets Have No Name just grabs you. I can never relive the first time I dropped the needle and just was enveloped by an album so quickly.

As kind of a sidenote on the first episodes, and another unfortunate comparison to Penny Dreadful, I think it is fine to take those first episodes slow and build up the structures for the characters like they are doing here as long as the show then starts moving based on those character choices.

This show should not be as good as it is. I had extremely low expectations going into the premiere but, dogfuck!, if this isn’t essential viewing I don’t know what is. Maybe the second season will catch on with a wider audience. I’m mystified at how audiences can embrace bland remake TV like Hawaii 5-0, MacGyver and

His fans are exactly like that episode of community where the Dean becomes a deranged director and Annie violently commits herself to him because in her words "Everything the Dean does is genius because if he isn't a genius than I have devoted myself to an idiot and I will not accept that!"

I swear to god. If 2020 keeps 2020ing, and we lose Alex this year, i’m going to have to cancel time itself.

He sounded so much like John Lithgow that I found myself wondering if they had dubbed his voice in for some reason.

I might be misremembering this a little, but Christian’s portrayal was fairly revolutionary. Not only was there no judgment about him and his lifestyle in the movie, but it didn’t trip all over itself once its revealed he’s gay either, just treated the whole thing in such a pragmatic manner.

I knew this was going to be a slideshow, but I still clicked on it to say that Splice is one of the worst movies that I have ever watched.

As long as they do a better job with the recast than Avalsalara’s husband it’ll be okay.

I have been a practicing attorney for 15 years, and let me just say something that I feel everyone should know: You do not need to be smart to go to law school. People think you do, but you don’t. Exhibit A illustrating this phenomenon is of course, me. Exhibit B is Ted Cruz, who reveals himself to be an utter moron

I think this season was a nice showcase for Kayvan Novak. Nandor has fewer opportunities to riff so in Season 1, I liked him, but never thought we got beyond “creepy paper.” But this season his ramblings about Guillermo in particular were great, and he seemed to have a larger personality.

Of the many joys ‘Commnity’ has given us, one of the greatest was seeing Kevin Corrigan’s version of ‘overacting’ as the drama professor. Casting a veteran underactor as a professional ham was an inspired choice, and fucking hilarious.

That’s been true since 40 Year Old Virgin.

This review further solidifies my opinion that Pete Davidson’s career relies 95% on pity.

I remain irritated at at these continued attempts to make Pete Davidson into A Thing, but I was hoping at least he’d be funny in an Apatow movie.

I still don’t get what people see in Pete Davidson. But I’ve admittedly seen very little of his work. Does anyone have a sketch or stand-up clip of his that they’ve seen and found funny that they could recommend?

Part of the fun of watching Dark Knight Rises is watching all the tricks — Scully box, forced perspective, over-the-shoulder shots, floor-level shots — Nolan uses to turn 5'9" Tom Hardy into the colossal presence of Bane.
