Must have been the same lab that made Jaime Pressly.

Hurrah, analytic philosophy jokes!

It technically doesn't count because he made several other movies between the two. (They mostly seem to have been well received at the time, although not as high profile as those two.) Certainly an honorable mention, though.

Truly.

There's also a difference between plagiarism and theft. (Intellectual or otherwise.) The crime in plagiarism is not in taking someone else's work, but in passing it off as their own. If a person turns in a term paper someone else wrote for them, they're still in trouble because they were supposed to do their own…

It doesn't have to literally be live to do that. If you still shoot it three-camera style and do it on Saturday afternoon it would be almost the same as if it was live, except they'd be able to do second takes. And then earlier in the week they could do more stuff that requires actual editing. Shooting "live from New…

I'd like to think there's a market for really passive-aggressive stripping. Just go on stage, visibly annoyed, and take your clothes off without any pretense of seduction. But yeah, the industry isn't really set up to reach that kind of niche appeal.

Yeah, some guy named Todd VanDerWerff over at Vox made an argument to this effect the other day.

It would be a somewhat unconventional choice, but what if they went with Elliott Kalan? He's the head writer so that presumably gives him some degree of sway in the internal politics of the show, and I quite like him on the Flophouse.

Dr. Marvin Monroe is a borderline case, since they killed him off in the not-really-canon 138th Episode Spectacular, and they ended up retconning that in a later-years episode.

He's a very 80s guy, but certainly that he's been able to somewhat revive his fame by cashing into the 21st century desire to see obnoxious rich people act like assholes on reality TV.

She was the age of the character she was playing, while in Sabrina the Teenage Witch she was doing the "20-something playing a teenager" game. Strictly speaking it wouldn't have been creepy for a middle schooler to be attracted to another middle schooler, but even then, Clarissa just wasn't a "boner explaining" kind…

Lisa's Wedding took place five years ago.

You can really post that anywhere in AV Club.

On some level it makes sense that an African country which escaped colonization and was ruled by a family which claimed to be descended from King Solomon would get some sort of afrocentrist religion associated with it, but ascribing divinity to a then-living person who didn't actually claim divinity was an odd way to…

Here's a story: I was a bit hesitant to play Twilight Princess because of how "grimdark" it looks, and aside from that I just wasn't playing video games as much as I previously had when the game came out so I wasn't feeling any hurry to catch up for completionism's sake.

Looking at Box Office Mojo, Cloud Atlas made a lot of its money overseas. Still not great money, but not a flop.

More precisely, Samurai Cop sounds like it was more where most of the people involved know this is going to be a bad movie, but the director doesn't and they're just trying to go along with it for the work.

Fun fact: Teenagers today are too young to remember Woodstock 99.

Man, this Sean J. O'Neal fellow sounds like a total nerd. I wonder what ever happened to that guy.
