Oh crap. Now I have to start looking presentable.

Now I have to listen to the episode again so I know if I was mean to him. I think I was meaner on the forum than on the air, but now I need to know.

I think it's amusing that an episode inspired by the question of what it means to be in a position where the people we talk about might actually notice, and how fortunate we were that the first major occurrence was cool about it, was noticed and responded to by a person we talked about and he was cool about it.

I'm starting to wonder if you actually listen to the show very much. Not as an attack or anything, just... I'm not sure where you're getting this impression of what the show is.

At any rate, we've got an episode coming up  (already recorded) all about where we see ourselves in the context of storytelling and criticism, so we can debate it in the release thread whenever that goes up if we feel the need, and let this thread go back to movie suggestions.

DREDD.

Also AVENGERS. I think people responded to it because the characters had legitimately different points of view, rather than having the same point of view and just arguing about who's in charge.

The original MEN IN BLACK did this wonderfully and perhaps the latest one failed to have the same energy because it lacked the interplay.

I think this was probably part of the appeal of LOOPER, too, although like a number of other things I think the film failed to leverage the guy-as-his-own-foil as much as it might have.

I'm not pissed off that you're posting the videos, but I know I will be if I watch them. If you think Smith (who I've given up on in the last few years -- anything before he discovered pot is entertaining enough) or Matthew have an interesting point, I'm happy to discuss the point if you summarize it here. But I don't have the patience to sift through their blather to find it myself.
