Well in that case, isn't every show filler in our lives? Instead of watching The Wire or Game of Thrones or Black Mirror, we could be out living life, but nope.
I mean, that's technically true. All recreational stuff could be considered life filler. But isn't this more about TV shows that some people might consider unimportant and just made to fill time? Like Cops and everything on HGTV.
I guess. I was just saying before though, I don't think this particular joke works because I know people who go out of their way to watch New Girl (the AV Club calls it the best comedy on TV, of all things), but I don't think anyone does the same for The Mindy Project.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Agreed.

Cut off 2 heads from that hydra beast known as Diamanda's Dr. Who retrospective and... of course, another grows back the very next day. (She's up to Season 11 now.)
Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

Saying that all shows are filler comes from the same logic that believes museums and stuff are pointless. It's emotionally sterile.

Neither do I. Doesn't mean that no one else does.

But nobody likes The Mindy Project, which is my point.

Life is just filler until we're dead.

Now if we can stop being an asshole, new top 11.

Good list. I'd personally find room for Barney and Robin, or even Marshall and Lily. Probably the former, since over the years, it really does feel that Robin has grown in love with everything about Barney, as impossible as it may seem.

Oh...

HELLS YES:

This is one I've personally been waiting for. Since I saw the movie. Last year. Which, with other movies, wouldn't be so long. This one... a whole other story.

So, having seen The Graduate a few days ago, I watched Doug's Editorial where he talks about the movie's ending. When I learned that there is apparently debate on the meaning of the ending, I was legitimately surprised. I just thought "Really?". The intent of the ending seems pretty clear to me. If they wanted to leave open the possibility that this couple could go on to live a happy life together, they would have handled that completely differently. It wouldn't have shown them sitting on the bus and visibly losing their initial excitement. And if they wanted to imply that there's a chance this could end well for them, I think the couple would have had more chemistry. Benjamin saying "Let's get married" came absolutely out of nowhere.

But anyway, good video. I'm glad Doug made a point of saying the actions of their parents aren't necessarily right. Can't ignore the fact that there is really no way you can excuse Mrs. Robinson's actions. But yeah, Elaine is doomed.

I just can't imagine how some people can look at the movie as creating a good future for them.

I got my Emanuelle:

And it was glorious.    ;D


Speaking of Diamanda... I never go to Twitter... but... she just announced...
https://www.facebook.com/DiamandaHagan/posts/692076620857394
SHE AND RANTASMO (of Lindsay's Chez Apocalypse crew) ARE DOING A Vegas in Space CROSSOVER!! A movie I actually own a copy of!

I don't care how bad Diamanda crossovers usually are, this one will be an exception... it just will!

Also, Diamanda announced she's doing a Myra Breckinridge crossover with Cinema Snob... something I will also check out.


And, since I'm not a big Carpenter fan I think it's worth mentioning, Lupa did a neat little "why is this a cult movie" reaction vid on They Live that at least gets the ball rolling on seeing that (in my opinion, hugely overrated) film in a different light:

Geez Bill Cosby, what the hell was up with that movie?

Great review, btw.
