Shy Retirer - that song is the only reason I know how to pronounce The word "Agutter."

This is news?
Hasn't Isis been dead since the asp snacked down on Cleopatra's boobies?

"…It forces you to empathize with characters who normally would be presented as hissable villains…"

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be a troll. And yes, I'm an utter failure at life. Homeless, childless, middle-aged, loveless. But damn, from nothing but these message boards (here at AV Club and elsewhere), I am made heartily ill at any mention of the Wire, a show I have never watched one minute of and never plan to…

This is indeed a disturbing universe.

Please, Please, Please…
…Shut the fuck up about the Wire already. I've never seen it and will never see it. Nothing about the endless descriptions of this or that vignette from this or that season on every single goddamn message board on every single website extant has ever struck me as remotely attractive or…

Monkeys are funny. (Other peoples') Embarrassment is funny. Parodies are funny. Miniature versions of large things are funny. A monkey, parodying the climactic scene of King Kong in miniature, thereby causing Robin embarrassment was, to me, a fuckin' corker. I can see how someone could say the episode was trying too…

I literally just got that. And I was a huge fan of the band in the '90s. I have no idea what I must have thought the name meant then. There were only three of them!

Holy Shit - does that mean that Cuba Gooding was an expy for Barack Obama?

Ellsworth - I thought it was set in Chicago, although I was such an intoxicated adolescent the one time I watched that POS that it could have been Buenos Aires and I wouldn't have known the difference.

Call Scott Thompson when he plays his 50th delivery boy. Then we'll bake him a cake or something.

A bit on the nose, but here you go…

I'm sad to hear that Dicillo's not really following through on the potential he showed working with Jarmusch and in Living in Oblivion.
