Believe in yourself!

Woof!

I really liked that Pete was playing the second movement of Beethoven’s symphony at the start of the “second movement” of the episode. Bravo! But Ken’s little story at the end made me cringe a bit.

Also, the weird transitions really took me out of the episode. But who cares? More fighting! I hope Pete cries at least three more times this season.

Does it count if I dislike how much I can’t stop liking him? No? Good, cause I’m just lying to myself.

I had the same thought. “I’m not French, I’m Canadian,” sounded really strange to me. At least say “French Canadian.” But I guess only Canadians would be so sensitive to Quebec nationalism. Even writing this comment is hard! So touchy!

Great. Now I want a grilled cheese.

Is it redundant to claim I’m a drunk Canadiens fan?

I haven’t watched a game in years, djfreshie, but my Habs fan self just painfully shook through me, like a snake shedding its skin. Also, I’m drunk.

But can it serve me drinks?

I agree with all three of you. I was really thrown when I read the “vagina dentata” thing. I love Gabe’s writing, but this whole post made me uneasy. There’s some weird insults based on assumptions in this post. I don’t like Anne Hathaway at all, but can’t we laugh at her without talking about her vagina? I’m gonna write “vagina” one more time for fun.

I appreciate the gesture, Gabe, but I don’t need 15 minutes of this. No.

I think you guys spelled Downtown Abbey wrong. Haha, maroons.

The Lady IS a Tramp? No. The Baby is a Tramp. That is a baby. The Baby and the Tramp. Ugh.

I disagree, wholeheartedly, that Tree of Life should be on this list. I respect the risks it took. I appreciate that. But, about 3 minutes into the origin of life sequence I was furiously angry.

I thought the whole movie was trying to evoke that feeling of being in awe of the sublime, all of life, but anything can evoke that awe. What’s difficult is making a meaningful comment on it, drawing conclusions from the sublime. I guess the whispered prayers and path of light/path of darkness were trying to do that, but they felt totally empty to me.

The movie was beautiful and powerful in feeling, but it never carried that into any thought. Vagueness and hinting at unspecified significance in things is frustrating. It eludes the problem. By the end, the beach scene, I was just spewing. I don’t think you can sustain that feeling of awe for two hours. I totally applaud the movie for its insane, huge scope, but I think it failed to say anything solid about what it showed.

But I loved the dinosaurs.

Oh, boy. You’d have really enjoyed my aunt’s tirade when there was a yoga dance (?) in my mentally-challenged great uncle’s Christmas play last week.

“They’re worshiping a demon!”

Yeah! What about us silent enjoyers? Where’s the post especially for us to silently enjoy?

A Notes From Underground joke that involves robots? Don’t kill me, Kelly. I didn’t know that was exactly what I wanted, but I got it.

“BAM!” – Emeril Lagasse

I don’t think Ebert was joshing. He was probably just trying to remind us that drink driving is the worst.
