I would imagine owning a pizza shop next to a NYC public school could easily turn one into an asshole.

A few questions I would have liked to see asked:
What? Obviously a documentary like that was never going to shut down the fast food industry or change people's eating habits on a mass scale. But you can't deny that a whole lot of people saw that movie and that it entered public consciousness at a level documentaries rarely reach.
Jesus, Spurlock. You're one of a tiny handful of documentary filmmakers who makes a great living at his chosen field. You're also one of the few who could probably get the cash to make a film about almost any subject. But you had to phone it in and pluck the lowest of low hanging fruit, didn't you? Let me guess, we're…
I don't know why exactly but that picture makes me think Watt and pals are pondering a dare to hump each other.
I think it's a safe bet that when they formed the band in 1986 none of the guys owned a computer. There's a good chance none of them even owned a typewriter.
Your outrage over not finding enjoyment in a seventy year old comic strip for children is duly noted.
Who are you talking to?
Back to the 80s with Gary Panter and the Raw Magazine crew, yes, but you can even look further to Bill Griffith (Zippy the Pinhead), Art Spiegelman (later of Raw) and other underground cartoonists of the 70s.
It's generally cartoonists who are obsessed with Nancy, not people who just like reading comic strips. If you're actually looking to be entertained Nancy is a terrible read, but if you're the type who wants to dissect the language of cartooning down to its purest elements Nancy is the perfect place to start.
Yeah, and what's up with breakfast burritos? Burritos are for lunch!
How many people even pay attention to TV critics anyway? TV show reviews are mostly ignored and critic's opinions are a pretty poor gauge of how well a show is going to do with the unwashed masses.
I would almost recommend working backwards, since Get a Life started as an almost traditional 90s Fox sitcom (which is to say, a weird 99 cent store version of what they thought a sitcom was) and got more and more insane the closer they got to cancellation.
Going from worker to management takes a skill set a lot of people who've been musicians all of their lives just don't have. Likewise there are people who are really good at songwriting, producing and management who never had success as a musician. I think that's a harder transition than you might think, yeah some…
I haven't seen the movie and I have no reason to think this isn't a bunch of MPAA soccer moms overreacting.
That'll show 'em!
He seems like an affable and genuinely nice guy with a good sense of humor, he's been involved in some things I really, really liked (like Windy City Heat) and his show, while not essential viewing by any means or anywhere near as amazing as NBC Letterman or vintage Conan, is reliably "good enough" and sometimes…
I guess so, but for whatever reason different days really do inspire more loyalty from the viewers. A show that grabs an audience on Sunday night seems to inspire tremendous loyalty no matter how far it goes off the rails, perhaps because that's a kind of depressing night where people find comfort in routine. Whereas…
Yeah seriously. What the fuck more do we need to hear about Parks and Recreation and Party Down? I love both of those shows of course, but the stuff I care about is there on the screen, you know, in the shows themselves. I guess they could both talk about what a delight Adam Scott is to work with, that should be a…
Y'know, much of the best entertainment from the black-and-white days came from Jews. Maybe if you keep that in mind, you can muster up enough German guilt to let yourself enjoy some classic movies.
