Even if it doesn't make sense, it's better to just blame 9/11 on Whalberg. Just incase.

Season three so often gets shit on for being less funny that two (any season of any show would pale in comparison), but it also includes one of my all time favourite arcs on any show - Pam's search for identity and her growing as an individual, culminating in the great scene in "Beach Games" where Pam confronts…

Like, you know, whatever.

Even though it's probably weaker than the episode that you've mentioned, I'd have to include "Boys and Girls" purely for the devastating scene of Pam talking about her terrace dream. It's so heartbreaking as she slowly breaks down, confined to her shitty situation and knowing that she'll never even be able to achieve…

Don't be such a downer. Just because The Office eventually went sour (very sour) doesn't retroactively change just how fantastic the show was in its prime. The brilliance that the show managed to achieve would be difficult for any show to maintain.

I know it isn't a kiss, but Jim asking Pam out on a date in the finale of season 3 is one of the only scenes ever filmed that rival the kiss. I just feel overwhelmed with emotion as Pam looks back to the camera stunned. "What was the question?".

It seems like we do this every week but best sitcom seasons:

Electric Boogaloo

Ironically, this is the kind of marketing ploy that the characters of Mad Men would be all over.

On the other hand, just imagine how perfect and finely tuned those seven episodes can be. They have a a gap for a beautiful arc to the final seven. In theory it's terrible, but in practice it could make the final season astonishingly good.

"Casino Night" is without doubt one of my all time favourite episodes of television. The Office is always at its peak when it strikes that perfect balance in the tragi-comic.

I'm most definitely in the pro Coppola camp, but two shots stood out for me as being completely beautiful: the slow-motion stroll up the school steps whilst Marc admires Rebecca and the static, uncut shot of the kids robbing Audrina Patridge's house. The robbery in particular was utterly mesmerizing as the light…

It's increasingly clear that both "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" were utter flukes. With Hell on Wheels, The Killing and Low Winter Sun, it's clear that the people high up at AMC are only ordering dramas that sound like they should appeal to their target audience, rather than choosing daring and/or interesting works.…

After seeing the second season premier, it's clear that Kaling can't even decide the style of humour she wants in her show. One minute everyone is insulting one another, then there's slapstick, and then there's potty humour when her boyfriend literally pees all over her dress.

I occasionally think that the show has the possibility to work out all its kinks and realises that it is indeed messy. They retool and get rid of unnecessary characters…and then just replace them with more unnecessary characters! It's maddening.

That article is fucking magnificent. Almost makes up for that sponsored Samsonite article.

Why is everyone so bothered over the review. The film has pretty much been universally panned. If Dowd had given it a good review, it feels like he would have been attacked for liking a shitty movie.

All his stuff REEKS of adolescent-revenge-porn-fantasy.

You should really read his piece in The Dissolve about Sucker Punch and Spring Breakers. It's fantastic.
