How is it that every Pixar film is an absolute gem, yet every other animated movie from every other large American studio is just okay? Oh right -- John Lasseter. I watched The Wizard of Oz plenty of times when I was a kid, and I admire it as an important film in the American film canon...but...would I ever watch it again? Probably not. Man, Jennifer Aniston just can't seem to pick good movies in which to star, huh? Management was a dud despite the presence of the great Steve Zahn (see him in Rescue Dawn and Safe Men). Away We Go has more of an Eggers feel to it than a Mendes stamp, huh? Does anyone not like John Krasinski?

Quality television has been so completed co-opted by paid and basic cable that absolutely ordinary shows like How I Met Your Mother and The Unit are actually critically acclaimed hits. It's a shame that Life on Mars was not given more time to grow as a show. But that's life these days. You're either a hit right away or your days are numbered. I've seen a lot of funny shit on the Internet, but have never so much as cracked a smile watching anything from The Guild. Has anyone? Naked and Violent is a great title, but Blind Beast vs. Killer Dwarf is even better. Who even cares what they're about?

Love Liza is just now getting a release?! SEE THIS MOVIE!
I don't think saying How I Met Your Mother is an "ordinary" show is accurate. It would be better described as something that's actually funny and worth watching unlike 95% of other programming.
NPH and Jason Segel are both funnier when they do things other than HIMYM. I'm not saying it's a terrible show. It's just more of a "Mad About You" than a "Seinfeld".
Love Liza is stunning. I cried.
