Dude, you have no grounds to talk.

Unless the protagonist was Jamie Madrox, I'm pretty sure the line "Great throwaway scene of the protagonist cheating on himself with his girlfriend, doggystyle" doesn't make any sense.

Started watching the last Season of Futurama.  Man, this show really does deserve to be cancelled.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

If it's reminiscent of Dr Horrible, it can't be that bad.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

To Money:

[spoiler]Recalling that Pinkman's cooks are about as good as Walt's, here's a wild guess: the best way out for Walt once the Panzerarmee showed up is to sell Pinkman into meth slavery to Lydia.  The M60 and ricin stuff?  That's Walt on his way to get Jesse back.  It's the old redemption arc.  Realizing how he's harmed his own family--because Hank's dead as an MRF--he'll come back around to being a quasi-good dude. :hmm: [/spoiler]

I disagree.  [spoiler]This will be a tragedy in the classical sense.  There will be no redemption.[/spoiler]

Just watched Zero Dark Thirty.  I was expecting a lot, lot more.

Did not care for that film at all.  Lot of scenes where people are doing stuff and I have no idea why.

Continued Band of Brothers. They're gonna have the geezers begin every episode? Breaks immersion.

I've watched a couple episodes of Shark Tank.  Hopeful young entrepeneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of investors in the hopes of attracting venture capital.  Mildly entertaining, and an ossum commentary on our society.

Just got caught up on the second season of The Newsroom. I really like that show, even if it is a bit heavy handed and obvious. Sorkin does great dialogue, and while the message is applied with a spatula, it is a message I mostly agree with, which makes it a bit easier to take.

My kid has been watching Sanjay and Craig on Nickelodeon.  Pretty damned funny for a kids show.

Yes and watch it. Compliments the the whole series. Watch and respect.

Those units didnt do one year rotations. They were there till the job was done.

I skipped the geezers when I watched it.

I've been watching through it too (I'm a few episodes in), and I'm kinda shocked by how little I care about this Maggie character.  I can understand how her roommate must be exhausted from all her drama.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
