"Movie Reviews"
This week saw the release of The Muppets, as well as rumors of a Flight of the Conchords movie, and further progress on the much-discussed Arrested Development movie.

I was exactly as excited about last week’s opening of The Muppets as I was for The Great Muppet Caper. I was six at the time. That’s either a sign of a durable franchise or my lack of personal growth. Or possibly both. Regardless, I’ve been obsessing over the new movie, and every new piece [...]

Dream Crossovers – Party Down, Greendale!
26 Jan 2012
You know what I’m starting to miss? Crossovers. Sure, NBC kind of drove them into the ground back in the “Must See TV” era, using them to try to trick people into watching things like The Single Guy. (“If Ross from Friends likes him, shouldn’t you?” was the unspoken rhetorical question.) It’s been a while [...]
