I think Episodes is coming back. I thought that show was great.

There are some recent Gogol translations that are pretty great. Long live The Nose.

I love her in What Planet Are You From? A sadly underappreciated movie.

I was trying to be funny, but thanks! Made myself laugh and that’s all that truly matters in these trying times.

What is the song?

Ugh. That Robert Redford version is so boring. This, at least, looks like a movie.

I agree. I didn’t laugh once. Intellectually, I kind of knew I should be laughing, but nothing seemed to tickle the old funny bone. I hated In The Loop, too, so I guess this guy just doesn’t do it for me. He seems to try too hard, or something.

Hey, the world has always sucked. During the 1828 campaign, J.Q. Adams accused Andrew Jackson’s wife of being a bigamist (she technically was). One thing that should be said is that people are nostalgic for the “simpler” time of when they were kids because they were kids then and they didn’t have to deal with real world bullshit. Of course it seemed simpler. But, it never was.

As a resident of Glendale (really) I’d vote for anyone that can get the guys who work at the BMW dealership to stop taking all the parking spaces on my street. But, may I remind Ms Kardashian that we’re run by a city council and the title of mayor is largely meaningless.

The sex scene with that guy was true comedy. Hilarious. I don’t get the criticism of a lack of perspective or realism. For one, reality is boring. And, there were things that did ring true. Like, no one I know in Brooklyn is actually from New York. They all come from the boonies of the midwest or upstate NY and seemed to have this idea that just showing up in the Big City was all they needed to do to be successful and now they’re spinning their wheels. I don’t think Lena Dunham is claiming to be the voice of a generation. Just her character is.

It reminded me of Monkeybone (which I only saw the trailer for as well) but with a British guy instead of Chris Kattan, and that movie came out in 2001, so maybe Monkeybone is the defining artistic statement of that era.

It seemed like Community got a new makeup artist, or something, because Britta and Annie looked really weird. Almost like they were airbrushed (primitive Photoshopping, kids).

My brother never went to college. He used to work in construction driving a bulldozer. He would work for 6 months then spend most of his money the other 6 months traveling all around the world mostly fishing. He didn’t spend money on anything else except food and the small house he rented in upstate New York. What little money he did save, he eventually used to buy a house and fishing boat in Panama when he was 40 where he started his own business taking tourists out. He was the happiest guy I ever knew. Not really trying to counter your point, but just saying it can be done. It’s not easy is the key.

Every week I realize more and more how much I like Kenny. Nothing gets past that guy.

True story: my dentist used to be Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s dentist, too. I know. Pretty sweet, right?

Mosquitos are a big nuisance when trampolining, apparently.

Wonderful! I hope this goes viral and these people end up on the Today show because ol’ Matt Lauer would have a field day with this crew.

Well, that was depressing, but I totally agree.

Is it weird that Men in Black ripped off Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me?

What better way to honor out troops than by playing patriotic tunes on an instrument invented by a Soviet spy

No.

I thought Meryl Streep and Glenn Close should have been disqualified because no one saw their movies, but I guess the Academy just loves wigs too much.

Not that anyone else cares, but I’m really happy George Kuchar made the montage of dead people.

I think Mavis has a couple moments where she seems to realize she needs to change, but other people brush it off for her. She tells her mother she thinks she’s an alcoholic, but her mother kind of pooh-pooh’s the idea. And, at the end when she’s talking to Patton Oswalt’s sister, she is kind of admitting that she’s a loser, but the lady keeps telling her how awesome she is, so she goes back to being same old Mavis. Pretty happily, which is funny.

One thing I always wonder about these end of the world movies is, would Brian Williams or whoever really be on tv? If we all knew the world is going to end, we’re not going to work. Why should they?
