It used to be that to be called a genius, you had to invent a number! Now all you have to do is put a cover on an ipad.
(That joke belongs to Louis CK, and, yes, he's suing me for using it.)
Are you suggesting that the movie would have been better if Emilie De Ravin had run over Robert Pattinson with a steamroller, and then - SURPRISE! - he was a 'toon all along and it wasn't really 9/11? OMG it was him that mugged her mom and dropped a safe on her head back in 1991!
Hey, speaking of Triplets of Belleville, which really is the best, I saw the director's new movie The Illusionist a couple weeks ago, and it's really also terrific. But it's really also sad.
I was just happy to have a four-hour block of television programming that didn't have a single Geico ad. (let alone five or six, all with different spokespersons, all completely unrelated to insurance. HAY GEICO KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE GECKO, SO OBVIOULSY A GEkKO SHOULD SELL OUR INSURANCE.)
Not so much, though, because documentary crews have policies of inaction so as not to interfere with the real-life events. That's why there are nature documentaries where baby penguins get eaten by other larger animals. Tell me you wouldn't save a baby penguin if something were trying to eat it.
I was more bothered by the fact that Michael Scott has worked at Dunder Mifflin for 15 years and didn't know the office phone number.
I kind of wished they had been bumped in favor of a longer Amy Poehler interview. In fairness, though, I also wished the musical guest was bumped for Amy Poehler.
I feel like they just shoehorned it in between Community and The Office so people would watch. But, frankly, Parks and Recreation was perfect in that slot, and 30 Rock after The Office was also perfect. That lineup was amazing.
I want to nominate UNSTOPPABLE because of all the pre-hate Gabe piled on it, but I worked on it and was surprised that it was better than I thought it was going to be, but even I had low expectations, because how good can a movie about a runaway train starring Captain Kirk and that creepy dude who keeps popping up in creepy roles (Kevin Corrigan) and the dad from TRANSFORMERS be? It's on dvd next month.
Once I found some girl's student ID on the ground, and I looked up her email address on the school's directory and sent her an email about it, and I thought, "She'll be so thankful and we'll be friends, etc.!" But when I got it back to her, she said, "Great! You just saved me $20 bucks [to replace the card]. Thanks. Bye!" The same thing will happen here.
I was just upset that Paul McCartney mentioned Paul Rudd's wonderful ROLE MODELS during the monologue, but then he didn't perform the Wings song "Love Take Me Down (to the Streets)" that was featured so prominently in the film.
You know how there are things that are embarrassing when adults do them, but if a kid does them, it's somehow adorable? Like if a kid farted in public or danced in a diaper to a Beyonce song or stole a car? If an adult did these things, we'd all be ashamed of them. But it's okay/adorable for a kid to do it, because they don't know any better. And look at their cute faces! And stuff!
Yeah, yo-yo is definitely not one of those things. It's embarrassing at any age.
I think you've got your Pennsylvania geography a little messed up.
Fun fact! So does this movie! People from the small towns where this was filmed (me!) will notice their town names on the various maps throughout the movie. At one point, you see Port Allegany, PA, just north of Olean, PA. But Olean is in New York and is north of Port Allegany!
Obviously next time I go to Tony Scott Con, I'll have my question ready.
