I will gladly take my lumps for this, but I liked Serendipity. I even own it on DVD. There is something just dependable about the way John Cusak has played exactly the same character the last 15 or so years. I don't have to stretch. And Kate Beckinsale can do no wrong in my book. You know, that's a lie. Click was terrible.
Can we write Bravo and ask them to please cut the interview portions with Michael V.? The way he sits there looking all souful and speaks in a way that imples he's imparting a small portion of vast culinary knowledge to us sickens me. I am fored to watch Top Chef on an old TV with a glass screen to resist the urge to punch him in the mouth.
The first 2 eps this season made me physically ill, so I'm just now catching up, but after Tim Love crossed the line with "Chicken-Fried strawberries" on Top Chef Masters, I put nothing past him.
Opps, sorry.
Dear God,
Correction. Please make it 40 years, in a middle eastern desert, as opposed to a few months in Mexico, in a country both that has seen Entourage and has Al Qaeda. Rain down drought, famine, and pestilence on them all. And please make sure there are no women. None at all. Sorry about the confusion.

This wasn't even the silliest episode of the season, so I could appreciate that. But I have to agree with Jacob, Chuck is an Opium man and I doubt he accepts anything less.
Hi Paige, thanks for joining us. Gabe totally missed the reveal that the Peter we've watched the entire season is, in fact, the Peter from the other world. As Walter's son from our world died from a childhood illness. Yes, Walter and his wife kidnapped the kid they have from themselves in a parallel universe. And this is perfectly fine.
"I can't tell you how many times I've been in a romantic situation where I thought, fuck this, no one treats me this way, DETONATE THE HYDROGEN BOMB. "
I'm totally telling that story to my grandkids.
Wow, this show makes me hate myself every week. Is this what happens on this show. These teenagers spend all season beating up on each other (but of course not literally), then the richest of them come together at the end of the season to tackle the dumbest problem. Because they are rich teens and have the skills and resources to topple major corporations, cover up crime, blackmail entire police precincts, and leave the country for weeks on end in the middle of a school year.
It's just as funny if you read it, or listen to Keith Olbermann tell it. Mr. Ebert, I may not always agree with your taste in movies, but you are spot on in your distaste of conservative lizard-skulled demons summoned by a racist sorcerer
Not agreed exactly. The ass aliens was a terrible, terrible thing. But this movie was Thomas Jane at his comedic best and when I saw it I had no idea it wasn't meant to be funny.
I'm going to go along with the pack. I enjoyed the ep. The only unexpected thing was the sudden crazy of ole girl and her assault on Lapidus. He was meant to be one of the original castaways, so it will be interesting to see what the island has in store for him, since he's missed most of the fun.
Poignant, direct, and a wake up call to the masses. Public Enemy for the new millennium. I cannot wait until my 15 year old brother get hold to the lyrics.
I kinda figured that no matter what kind of douche Ben turned out to be, they'd resolve to save him because they didn't want things to get worse. He did sort of civilize The Others. Who knows if they would have made it a week on the island if the Dharma/Hostiles war was still going on in 2004. Also, it was fun to learn how Ben became cold-hearted enough to kill all the people he grew up around. OMG! Sayid made him what he is TODAY!
Sad that Carla could have taken this whole thing had she not fucked both herself and her 3rd and 4th courses by listening to Casey. And so we learn again that slow and poorly groomed wins the race. I has a :(
I'm also of the opinion that Ben got knocked around quite a bit killing Penny. But he had to kill Penny don't you see? That way, Desmond has to go back to the island to settle the score. He's on the plane right behind them. We'll see him killed yet!
I have joined Team Carla for the Finale Finale, and reserve the right to be genuinely appalled when Stefan wins. And never watch Top Chef again should Hosea. That is all.
Anybody else notice that Fabio's english seems to have gotten worse over the course of the season? Either that Or I was hate attention paying to Leah so much that I just missed it.
Put me in this column. Am I the only one certain that Leah is fucking a producer? the second obvious time that she should have gone home and another, better chef is auf'd. Sorry wrong Bravo show. But I think you get my point
Remember when untalented singers stayed out of rap feuds? I mean, did Keith Sweat ever step in to a war of dumb ass words between Dr. Dre and Easy E? No.
I was baffled by how Dan spent the entire episode trying to hookup with the teacher, but also denying that he wanted to hook up with the teacher. All the while ignoring his known slut of a girlfriend in an obvious attempt at hooking up with said teacher. That said, clearly the writers are going to go toward a Serena/Dan reconciliation from now on to get rid of even worse plot device lovers; i.e. Aaron. Only to break them up 3 eps later. Ok, I'm on the kill Dan/Serena bandwagon. Can't one of them catch Gonnorhea and die already?
You guys. If we keep calling for the deaths of Serena and Dan and they happen, then who's deaths would we call for? Aside from Jenny, Nate, Rufus, Vanessa...oh you get what I mean. Every show with a little drama needs a couple that is terrible and must die. But personally I'd like to see Serena and Dan survive through when everyone magically gets accepted to Yale so that they can die while doing things as freshmen that would make most 30 year olds cringe. My personal wish? Dan dies of alcohol poisioning at a kegger and Serena does an LSD fueled dive off the Empire State Building in mourning for her lost love.
Stefan is the villian because he's a European jackass, who happens to be an amazing cook. Top Chef fans were ruined last season by Richard, who crushed it nearly every challenge and was a damn nice guy to boot. Think of him as this season's Lisa from season 4. Talented, but still kind of an asshole.
Gotta agree with a few comments. Hudson Hawk was horrid on purpose so successfully, in fact, I own it on DVD and pop it in when ever I catch CSI: Miami just to watch Bruce Willis punch David Caruso in the nose. Well ,then and whenever I see 'Jade' in my TV listings. I also have to throw my support behind Ultraviolet. I generally laugh at terrible movies. I could only watch horrified as this utter crapfest destroyed my every hope for mankind. Throw William Fichtner in for good measure, and by the time the credits rolled, my cousin was calling me in off the rails of my balcony. And I once sat through an all night film fest showing Sleepaway Camp, The Mad Man Mars, and Hot Wet American Summer.
While Trenita is an interesting character to be sure, but if you click the link you will find Amanda. She's a 23 y/o regional manager who admits her guilty pleasure is evicting people then promptly goes off on a tangent that ends up with her covertly confessing that she is a furry and her costume is probably a cat.
Gabe,
While I in large part agree with your conclusions, (except about Kevin smith, but that's another matter) there was one saving grace in this film for me. After the rediculousness past the hour mark, I was comforted in the notion that I'd heard Sarah Michelle Gellar finally admit that she liked to be fucked hard. Even if it was in character, that soundbite will fuel Buffy fantasies for years to come.
Spike and Lisa should have both already been gone. Lisa has consistently sucked. For me, Spike wavered between being such a complete douche I'd gladly punch him in the face and "kinda funny" so wearing that hat could be excused. Blaise will take on 3 women and rise victoriously wearing his pink shirt and headband standing atop their broken and dill sauce covered bodies.
Indeed. He had talent, but he was an asshole. But I would have been just as pleased if the ax came down on Lisa. Were Dale smart, he would not have argued with Lisa for control. I would have let that perpetually agitated tramp dig her own grave. And also, how many more eliminations can Spike survive with the extremely tired "It wasn't me" excuse?
I totally watched this to get my teen superhero team fix after Power Rangers went off. The alien bird was the absolute shit. And no, I'm not ashamed. Big Bad Beetle Borgs or VR Troopers next!
