Looking back, their decision makes sense to replace the show with a rough approximation of the style. The problem was deciding to place at its center the black hole of unfunniness that is Carlos Mencia.

Especially when they're on Netflix Instant and would be totally worth it for sleepy Thursday night after work

It's a horror ending that leaves such a sour taste in your mouth, you almost forget that there were brilliant moments before. The terrorist attack where the cultists drop vampires on the peaceful camp, filmed in Cuaron-esk single-take was marvelous, and I wish the ending capitalized on the sort of fever panic of those…

I'm a defender of Jim Mickle as an emerging voice of indie horror, but man, does the ending of this movie blow. It looks like the director chickened out of making it as bleak as the rest of the movie, or got a bad producer note. It's painfully conventional and forced, and really feels weird in a something that…

But I only have one biforcated tongue, and you need at least three to be fluent in wingdings!

I like Killing Them Softly! Now that there are 2 of us, we can…uhh…!

*crickets*

Mr. Show did a pretty terrific parody of movies about living with the mentally challenged.

Not to sound snappy, but read any interview with Murphy. He's an egomaniac and a narcissist, and every time you think he's becoming self-aware, he shits the punchbowl. He also holds grudges like crazy.

As someone that's too young to have seen much before 1995 SNL actually on NBC, I lived off of Comedy Central's reruns in the 90s (and later E! if I'm not mistaken?), and they got to choose which episodes were worth showing. Naturally, they skipped the dark years and now I've got warm feelings for the…

Somewhat weirder than when Mike Myers and Dana Carvey coming back to do a Wayne's World a few years back?

Every so often, when I get burned out playing games about shooting people in the face, reading books on Japanese death cults, or watching Swedish dramas about families falling apart, I just need to crank through 30 Rock, beginning to end. It's an endlessly consumable show, and just makes me feel warm inside. I have…

I went to see a friend that works at a tiki bar in Chicago with the girlfriend, and we got some cool island drinks. I got this thing called a Jet Pilot - basically, an aged rum drink with angostura bitters and absinthe in it for flavor, served over crushed ice, in a crazy green skull glass with all sorts of shit like…

I will say the Kirkland stuff certainly beats the pants off Trader Joe's liquor, surprisingly.

After the beautifully balanced gameplay of Wolfenstein I've been enjoying this week, I'm especially frazzled on your last point. This game is very, very Assassin's Creedy, and that's in that there is far too much to do, and too little of it is interesting. Assassin's Creed loves throwing mini games at you, or letting…

Exactly. Big Brother wants transparency from us, and opacity for them.

Oh, that's just perfect. Thanks for your interpretation - that totally rings true.

Oh, definitely. It was no longer a simple alignment of all the good guys coming against the pure evil of Hannibal - there's a "wild card" tossed in of a brainwashed girl. But I didn't see her and "get" what had happened. I just knew Hannibal was keeping her, but for what purpose? Then she's dead, and I'm left with a…

They certainly can make her death more meaningful in post, but what was Abigail doing that whole time she was away? Much of the show takes place in Hannibal's home - was she hiding in the basement? Was Hannibal training her? How much of "her" was left? Did this "new family" matter to her at all? All we get is that…

Also, Alana isn't a cop. Will gave her the gun and told her to go shooting - Jack might have handled the situation better, but Alana basically just did her little bit of training operating under the assumption her only threat was Hannibal (and maybe even Will).

The Abigail reveal definitely would've worked better if they had pulled it out a couple episodes before. It's way too shocking to have her appear without explanation and then get murdered immediately after without us understanding her impact on the story. Sure, it leaves more mystery for season 3, but it also made the…
