I really liked the first film, but this was just simply all over the place. This thing needed to be tightened up big time. Too many characters, too convoluted, too many fight scenes that didn't further the story (the party scene in particular) and too many attempts and snarky one-liners from...

He looks defeated....maybe deservedly so.

I'm a graphic artist and use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and even Quark daily. After looking at the graphics you're trying to (re)create, definitely use Illustrator for these. The question is are you trying to re-create just these, or are you having to create many graphics like these in...

I don't think he makes the finals if he does that move. He'd have to break up his alliance with Nat, Mick and Jaison and vote one of them out to do so, (hindsight says vote off Nat) and if he did, then the next day you'd definitely see Mick looking to flip and cut a side deal with Shambo, Jaison...

I just don't buy it that Russell should have been more humble and that that would have made any difference. Remember when Russell found the idol and played it the first time? There was a shot of Laura well before any cockiness took place from Russell, and she looked FURIOUS right after he played...

I gotta completely disagree with you there. You can't have it both ways. If the jury can't fail because there are no rules so-to-speak, then by that same logic Russell couldn't have 'failed miserably at the latter" because (according to your own logic there) there are no rules. Yes, there is no...

I was thinking about the reunion show and something struck me with what Russell said at the live broadcast and I hope I didn't accidently figure out the winner of all-stars next season. I didn't read this anywhere, or find it on some gossip site, but I wanted to spoilerize it just in case, hey...

I actually agree with what you're saying to a certain point about Cerie. However, early on (maybe even the first episode), she was headed out the door and it was essentially a coin flip as to whether she was being voted off. It was between her and that other woman (forgot her name) as to who was...

Sorry, but that's absurd. His social game wasn't horrible at all. There might not have been anything he could have done to sway the jury. He was facing a jury largely made up of passive non-players who got played by Russell and were too smug to admit he outplayed them. He wasn't getting their...

Just watched the latest episode about Larry and his pants from Banana Republic. As Larry was leaving during the fire drill, for a split second, they show a cameo with Ben Affleck (with a beard) who never returns during the episode. I saw it in real time and thought, "Was that Ben Affleck??" and...

Quote: No 30 Rock or The Office? Wow, tough crowd...

I loved this extra but it's a true shame that this specific extra was wasn't produced in HD. C'mon. The film looked beautiful in HD, and then when that extra was played it looked like some dumbed down VHS quality footage by comparison. All extras for films this new should be produced in HD.

The Feature: 3.5/5?? Only 3.5?? Wow. It was my favorite film of the year by far.

HULU Link: Hulu - The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien: Mon, Jun 1, 2009 - Watch the full episode now. Enjoy!

Since we're chiming in on the worst contestants ever, I'd throw in Crystal from Survivor Gabon. An Olympic Gold medalist who was utterly pathetic at challenges, just rode the coat tails of the gamer kid and had one of the most annoying attitudes in Survivor history. Argh. Man, last season was...
