The best part about the Law & Order thing is how it screams AUTHENTICITY when every character is constantly eating Chinese take-out and food truck hotdogs because in NOO YAWK nobody ever eats, you know, a salad or an orange or something they made at home.
Probably so they can charge $55.99 (list price of the season 4 DVD set) for the “Season 5″ DVD set, whereas people might not be willing to pay as much for an 8 episode season if they sold them separately as season 5 and season 6.
Best part is his little self-satisfied glance to those other folks at the end. “I did it! I made the lion back down! He totally backed down because he realized I am awesome and manly and because I kind of slumped my shoulder and shook my stupid hair around and not because he realized the futility of trying to get at me through this 2 foot thick glass.”
Turns out it’s Man.
Seriously though, how is it that nobody says “You sunk my Battleship™!” in any of the trailers? That’s like, the one goddamn thing they had to include in order for the movie to have anything to do with the board game. Somebody’s gotta say it at some point during the movie, right? Probably Liam Neeson?
“I’m gettin’ too old for this ship.”
Meanwhile NBC just extends The Today Show by another two hours, making it a direct competitor for this show.
-Also, about the word she won’t say, she “grew up with that word and was fine with it”.
Yeah, I can’t really imagine being excited if they brought back Arrested Development, but with some goons from another network running it instead of Mitchell Hurwitz.
Yeah, he seems like he’s probably really hard to work with or for, and brought this on himself to some non-insignificant degree. However, I can’t help but think that regardless, Community will be vastly different without him and anything after this season will end up being considered “non-canon” by fans of the current iteration of the show.
While this sounds pretty stupid, I will say that the opening Parkour-esque sequence of Casino Royale was pretty much the only good part of that movie.
I elected not to attend my commencement ceremony because I already know how Websters defines “commencement” and who cares.
“It doesn’t matter except in the sense that it’s the entire reason the service exists and the metric by which it is deemed profitable or a waste”
Netflix is a nice middle-ground, although you’re also generally not able to watch anything that isn’t already out on DVD, so it’s not really competing with Hulu on the “watch last nights TV the next day” (or whatever the Hulu lag period is) front.
If they come out with some kind of internet-only subscription as Gabe suggests, that might not be the worst option, as it would probably be essentially equivalent to what Hulu Plus is right now.
The real problem for consumers is that each of these services has different deals with each of these subscription-based services, it’s bad for the consumers when you need to subscribe to four different streaming video services just to watch the four shows you want because one is on Fox and one is on NBC and one is on AMC or whatever.
Cable companies not offering any kind of a-la carte “only the stuff you want” type subscriptions is an old complaint, but one that does seem like more and more of a glaring oversight as technology progresses.
I can understand why it wasn’t feasible for them to offer such a thing when cable was just an analog signal and you either got it or you didn’t, but if you’re essentially paying for access to a website, there are a million ways they could define various subscription packages (selected channels, selected shows, number of streaming hours per month, etc).
Is ParkROAR literally just running around roaring like a dinosaur in a park? Please say yes.
This is where we find out that J. K. Rowling just visited this school surreptitiously and wrote down everything that happened to these kids, like that episode of Futurama where Leela had the Yo-Gabba-Gabba esque kids show.
If you’ve ever seen the movie All the Real Girls, this is basically what she looks like in that movie. It’s not that mind blowing really, she looks like herself but without pancake makeup and false eyelashes?
I just watched that movie about Kevin Clash (“Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Story”), and there’s a part where it shows his daughter’s sweet 16 party, and he has videos like this featuring Jack Black and other celebrities wishing his daughter a happy birthday. I was like “oh, so that’s what the obscenely wealthy do with their money!”
I wonder if Joe from Sewage also has a bolt in his brain, because he behaves exactly the same way on that show…
Complaining that your friends’ lives have been taken over by having children is the only thing more cliched and annoying than complaining that your own life has been taken over by your having children.
Yeah, it was the rare one of Jeff’s speeches that actually seemed legitimately profound
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. It reminded me of on Newsradio how there was one season where everyone had super weird, ill-fitting wardrobe.
“Read the banana” is the new “wake up and smell the coffee” or “face the facts”
It’s kind of odd considering they switched the order of this episode and last week’s (this one references everyone being back from holiday break at the beginning). This one ends on such a portentous note for Troy and Abed’s relationship, yet the next episode (last week’s) has them immediately back in best friends mode and pulling off a 24 hour stretch in the dreamatorium together.
I like how he says “they’re both going to go on to great success,” as if nobody knew who they were before and now they’re like “Oh yeah, he’s the guy from THE APPRENTICE, right? A household name for only that reason! Whoop whoop whoop! Wait a minute, why did I just do that? Why am I spinning my arm around over my head? I DON’T EVEN KNOW LOL”
