Yeah, Dan every once in a while will construct this strawman of the nutjob conservative who simultaneously thinks sex is SO unimportant that people should be able to do without it, and also thinks it's SO important that to have it with a third party while married is the worst thing you can do. And I sort of am that…

Wouldn't that be more of a Doctor Penis?

I think this is less about TINAIM being "full enough of yourself think you're justified" than about a hyperbolic reaction to Dan's harsher-than-usual tone in response to this particular letter. It could just be that Dan's tired of writing the same shit every week - as you and others have said, he's pretty consistent…

I have nothing against homosexuals, but what kind of sick son of a bitch hates donkeys?

Oh, I love Losing My Religion. I just think that one particular line, especially considered on its own, is pretty dumb.

I never actually noticed how stupid that line is until I heard Dia Frampton from "The Voice" cover it. Her breathless-cutesy delivery just amplifies the awfulness, rather than (relatively) masking it the way Stipe's does.

I hate Rush and I hate Ayn Rand, but I love the Diff'rent Strokes theme, so you're all right by me.

Hey, the wisdom of "Stand" changed my life. Before it, I was always standing in places where I did not live, and then the people who lived there would call the police.

Based on me wanting to harm myself just from reading your comment, I'm guessing the suicide hotline?

The thing is, you can't negotiate relationships that way—-"You did something to me that was, on a scale of zero-to-ten, eight bad, and I said I forgave you, but now I get to do something to you that's three bad. I still owe you five bad, which I can use in the future." Doesn't work. What's neat about this is, I see…

Honestly, there was a minute there where I thought Barney was saying that his job was to "please" the proto-Barney asshole who stole his girlfriend, and then when they revealed that it wasn't that, I was so relieved.

The use of a (relatively) young man for Roman Castevet makes me nervous about this thing's potential loyalty to its source material. They couldn't get Sidney Blackmer?

Erik, I love your reviews. It's too bad that on alternating weeks, the AVClub has other men in this house - radioactive men.

I know, right? I really feel like I need to do something about this, so I've taken it out of the library about thirty-five times, and…nope, still haven't gotten around to actually watching it. The librarians must think, wow, this dude loves The Matrix SO MUCH.

Fifteen years down, and I still not only haven't seen "The Matrix", I also have no idea what its premise is. I don't know whether to be ashamed of that or proud of that. So, there's Keanu Reeves, and there's…some sort of matrix, I gather from the title, and that's about all I've got.

If I recall correctly, the book "Fight Club" pretty much gives away the ending from the get-go - I guess it's possible to read it as hint-dropping and not just as out-and-out saying what the "twist ending" is, but it's pretty close either way. This was before Palahniuk, like Shyamalan, became the 1. ??? 2. TWIST…

If my experience with her is any indication, whether she's single has absolutely no bearing on whether she'll sleep with you. But I wouldn't wish her on you. You seem like a…good fellow.

Good for you! You'll love it.

Hooray, I was right about something!

Yeah, that's exactly Travis: too awkward and ungainly to even give his tough-guy monologue, and also, thinking "screwheads" was something to say.
