I enjoyed Robot and Frank, I thought of it as a drama that just happened to be set in a world where robots are personal assistants. The cast was great and I was really pleased I caught it when it played locally.

Yes, but... I thought it was a strange choice to start off the show and it did feel a little tonally mismatched from the rest of the episode.

Interesting. I enjoyed the episode for the most part. I did get a feeling in the middle that someone was consciously trying to do things that people expect from "Community," and may have come close to crossing the line into stupidity, but overall I got a "we are genuinely trying to make the show...

I am really interested in the storyline with Crosby and Renee. So far, my feeling hasn't been that the show is trying to once again imply that Crosby is to blame for missing out on Jabbar's early years. It's only Renee dragging it out as a weapon to retailiate for hurt feelings. Crosby did make...

Completely in agreement with David and Matt, the scene with Crosby and Julia outside the restaurant was phenomenal and moved me a great deal. On a side note, regarding my multi-quote post from a few days back, I wanted to apologize to Mike. In the course of the past few days, I thought my...

That's one of the surprising things I find about my reaction to this show. I actually like when it makes me feel a struggle, to really question what is right. Which is why clear-cut wins (like Victor at the baseball game) and shallow "bad" guys (the Luncheonette's neighbor) make us feel cheated...

Wowsers... the crowd gets tougher and tougher. Can I just say that I don't hate that I'm defending this show? The middle of this season, yes, had some questionable moments, but these last two episodes have been extremely solid and I'm just as much on board as I have been in previous years. These...

I am really appreciative that Warner went through the effort to reconstruct the original ending of the film, but when we're talking about a studio that put out the "Blade Runner" set, "above and beyond" is set at a high bar. I was seriously disappointed that nobody considered searching for more...

I normally try not to be so snarky, but that cover is hideous. And though I would probably buy this set to have a complete collection of a show I once loved, I am so sad how this season wasted James Spader.

I want to write more later, but in no way did I feel it was a chore to watch the season premiere of "Parenthood." The episode felt elegantly structured to give a sample of where everyone's life was at the moment, and nothing felt any where near as contrived as the rush of events they piled on at...

Thank you, that's really awesome to hear on my first piece in a few years. I did some DVD covers probably about six or eight years ago. I enjoyed making covers for CDs and VHS tapes, so when I saw that whole sites developed around DVD covers, it was a natural for me. It was the fact that people...

Getting started on the original Gremlins...

I have been wanting to jump back in to custom covers for a while now, but never had the time. Finally, over the past week, I knocked together this custom for GREMLINS 2 that I've been wanting to do ever since Warner did the horrible photoshop re-design of basically the same artwork for their DVD.

I actually realized I posted her description of the scene on my own website back in the 90s:

I always hoped some deleted scenes would turn up for this movie. I'm a huge fan of an L.A. band called The Muffs and the singer, Kim Shattuck had a bit part that ended up on the cutting room floor.

I thought this week's episode was the most assured yet. It completely won me over and had me feeling like I just watched a great feature film. Only a couple moments (a joke here and there, the ultimate revelation of Will and his desk drawer) seemed to go too far, but I can overllook those...

Having just watched this episode, I wanted to offer a counterpoint. I will grant that Sorkin is using an actual tragedy in service of his point, however I never felt that it was distasteful. In my opinion, it was clear that the reason they did not call the death was because there was no second...

"The Vartabedian Conundrum" is the episode I was able to see live in person!

Technically, it was always in their hands. I did a bit of research a couple months ago and turned up that Subafilms (the Beatles' film company) had sued MGM/UA for distributing "Yellow Submarine" on VHS because their license was only for theatrical distribution. Subafilms and The Hearst...

Don't get rid of your 1999 DVD if the music-only track is important to you! It does not carry over to the new release. But as others have said, the image is spectacular and like experiencing a whole new film. It appears an issue with the mono audio track was corrected (a section was replaced...

My favorite exchange was almost a throwaway: Britta: "Corporate America has destroyed love!" Annie: "Again?"

And yet Beatles fans still debate the aspect ratio of the film. Any suggestions where one could find evidence of the intended aspect ratio of "Yellow Submarine" considering the upcoming Blu-ray issue? I'm already seeing people complain that 1.66 is a cropped aspect ratio.

Paul F. Tompkins talked about being considered for "The Office" in an interview on the KCRW show "The Business."

In theory, they could have had a plan to use Tori regardless of what Rachel did. Maybe if she hadn't opened it, she would have gotten to participate with Tori as well. :) I don't doubt that the producers are coming up with ideas behind the scenes to manipulate the game and the players, but I...

I picked this up at a going-out-of-business Borders. I've got no opinion on the board game, but I will say that the reprint of the official Goonies magazine is nice, and the cards that feature storyboards are cool and feature some information on deleted scenes.

Thanks for the contest. I have picked up every season of the show so far, and I would love to win a copy for a change. :D

Oh, I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that. And add to the awful writing some really shoddy direction by Kevin Connolly. A few times, I really questioned if the camera was focusing on what was going to communicate the appropriate information to the audience. For instance, on Drama's exit...

Another recent interview with Dan Harmon was on Marc Maron's WTF podcast. Maron will often touch on his neuroses, which in turn leads to similar candor from his guests, so if you want to get that kind of insight into Harmon, this is the place to go...

Not until the penis goes in.

I was just thinking the same thing in the shower this morning! I suppose it's the natural thought process from Starburns' line about how every class has to be about the other guys. So let's see a day with Starburns and the rest. Harmon's got to be on it.
