  1. 1. Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Whiplash 3. Gone Girl 4. X Men: Days of Future Past 5. Foxcatcher 6. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 7. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I 8. Top Five 9. The Drop 10. 22 Jump Street
  2. Has anyone even bothered with Season 3 of House of Cards.
  3. Given just fragmented the entertainment landscape is these days, I don't see that big of a drop off from a network sitcom to basic cable. Most of the critically acclaimed shows are on cable. I would say that Jon Stewart is just about as culturally significant as anybody on network TV right now. I would love Poehler but that seems unlikely. I just don't think there's anybody out there that Comedy Central can get that won't be a major letdown to the brand. They should honestly just retire the format and go in a different direction, maybe revive the old Politically Incorrect format or something along the lines of what the TV version of Loveline was.
  4. I'm almost speechless after watching Whiplash. That was so fucking intense. Also, it's weird as fuck seeing a kid you went to high school with in an Oscar-nominated movie.
  5. I can Hawke playing Jeff Jarrett, Pratt as Buff Bagwell but I'm just having a hard time figuring out who Denzel plays. A re-imagined Ric Flair?
  6. Never the biggest Star Trek fan but he was an integral part of one of the best Simpsons episodes ever
  7. Scrubs is a sitcom. There's no such thing as a half-hour network drama. Just off the top of my head, here are my favorites in no particular order: Seinfeld, Scrubs, The Office (US), 30 Rock, Parks & Rec, How I Met Your Mother, Saved by the Bell
  8. Mike Schur told Alan Sepinwall that the viewer has all the information they need from that scene. I'll spoiler the details:
  9. It's right around 4 or 5. The Bunk/McNulty "fuck" is what does it for a lot of people.
  10. I just watched The Drop, add it to the list. What an amazing movie.
  11. Harris Wittels, a writer and Executive Producer on Parks & Rec who appeared as Harris from Animal Control and also the creator of #Humblebrag on Twitter, has died of an apparent drug overdose at the age of 30. This...has me speechless and I have no idea why. I loved his character on "Parks." Man, fuck drugs.
  12. Just thinking off the top of my head that it would have to involve a "cure" and what the struggle to rebuild society would be and what would society would be. What would be left of any kind of government structure? Would it turn out that some people were immune to the disease and would society evolve into the carriers being segregated and what not? This notion of finding a new setting, Rick giving a speech about building a new life and the eventual clash with the guy in charge is getting old.
  13. This show is going to suffer through AMC milking every nickel possible out of the show for years to come and Kirkman apparently having no real reason to end the comic any time soon. We're just about the "getting the explanation of Jack's Chinese tattoos" moment of this show where an episode was spent literally of them wandering around with no place to go. I couldn't agree more that show needs a change of scenery, not just a new setting but something that turns the series completely upside down.
  14. I feel like Al Casino is the name of a mob boss in fourth-rate Godfather ripoff.
  15. Please talk more about how you hate Europe and bicycles.

  16. I'm not sure what his contract status is and if he would want to leave ESPN but I think Keith Olbermann would be the perfect choice to take over
  17. People seem to forget that when Jon Stewart took the gig he was almost an after thought. His own late night show failed and the aura of being the "hot young stand up" had worn off. When he took over for Kilborn, the show much more resembled a traditional talk show. It's amazing how much the late night landscape has changed in the past year.
  18. My husband totally does and that is why I've never rewatched the Comeback. I tried to get him to watch the Office and he just felt frustrated with Michael Scott and said "I can't watch this stupid show anymore". There are few moments like that where I can't watch some of Michael Scott's antics now that I know what's coming. I won't go near "Scott's Tots" with a 10-foot pole.
  19. The Town is amazing. I would say that and The Departed are the best of the genre in the past 20 or so years.
