Can I just say that Chloe was written really well this week and Mary Lynn Rajskub did an amazing job playing her.  i don't know what jack was thinking asking her to come back to the CIA,the place she was being tortured just hours ago,the human mind runs from torture and the places it has happened.  he is lucky Chloe was able to keep it together as long as she did.  in most cases people who have been tortured shut down or fall victim to some other form of stress or PTSD.  Chloe is a really strong character but everyone has there limits and I am glad the show showed that and I think Rajskub did a great job playing it.  I hope Chloe gets some form of happy ending because she has been through enough.

Now that was good old fashioned 24!  I think that was the best episode so far this season,it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and Jack got a renegade Shepard moment!

I'm glad he didn't let her finish her speech,that was one of the best moments in the history of the show.

I loved every second of tonight's episode.

 I thought it was a really good movie that capture the spirit of the 1954 original better then any film in the franchise since and the focus on the human characters made everything extremely intense. 

 Mmmmm....the trailers maybe tried to capture the feeling of the original 1954 film. But I'd say this film captured the feeling more of something like Godzilla vs. Mothra. Either way I loved the film.

 That is a good comparison too,and it may fit better with there being more then one monster.  I just think 54 because the movie is really about the monsters as a force of nature and how they their battles effect the human characters and whenever I see a monster movie try to do that I think Gidzilla 54 because that is the movie that did it best.

Speaking of Mothra I wonder if there is a sequels will they bring her into the mix.

You know you have played Mass Effect too many times when you have to reinstall the game and you can tell by the names of the files being installed what part of the plot is being written to your hard drive without even thinking about it.

Yes, and I have to avoid speaking English. Les Canadiens find that offensive in the Frenchier areas.

I suggest you speak deliberately mispronounced French just to get back at them. ;-) 

 This plan is Dr.Crow approved!

Good night,I can't believe I had never heard of this character before.  That is a huge gap in my education.

Yeah same here.  I am just glad I finally know where that racoon character from the Marvel Vs. Capcom games comes from.

I had to look that up,sorry to hear that.  That doesn't sound fun.

Oh and be sure to be snooty to everyone and eat lots of snails and watch nothing but Jerry Lewis movies or you will not fit in at all and you will be shunned.

You are going to Quebec?  You are luck I here everyone one if Quebec is issued a rideable Moose and a complete Red Green show boxset by the government. Best of luck and have fun.

Yeah got into the films around the time the uncut 54 version came out on DvD for the first time and moviestop had a bunch of them on sale on BluRay so I picked them up.  I love giant monsters of every kind.

Sure.  I woke up today and found I had sneezed in my sleep and my face was covered with snot. Oh and my ass started bleeding again,and right now I feel like I am going to throw up.

Is that better?

 Well good.

Then again i feel pretty stupid right now too.  I just spent ten bucks on the first two seasons of T.J Hooker.

Mostly it's lots of bread and hamburger since that is what we can afford right now.

WRONG!

MST3K Vs. Gamera.

Now don't you feel dumb?:)

My internet connection is so slow I have not been able to load anything other then this page for a week and the only reason this page will load is that I have not closed firefox.  Google will not even load and I am using the only internet service there is in my part of the country. it costs a fortune and it doesn't even work.  We really need a government run ISP in this country because the private sector is nothing but one giant fraud.

The word Bitch is not being used nearly enough in this thread or the world in general.

Gamera is really neat,Gamera is filled with meat,we believe in Gamera!

Guess what I got for my birthday:)

I am so sick of having to spend an hour every morning on the toilet.

Audio tape and Mp3s do exist.  I had a bunch of tapes of the old radio shows when I was a kid.  I think it's a shame radio drama and comedy pretty much died in this country. The Jack Benny Program was and still is one of my favorite comedies of all time.

 My father has tapes and Lps of his program and other old radio shows.  Nothing like that stuff today.   Imagine great comendy where every other joke isn't dirty.  Great stuff. 

 

 Yeah and when it was dirty the joke was that they were being clever about it to get it past the censors and make sure it would go over the kid's heads.  Groucho Marx and Bob Hope were kind of the masters of that. Telling a joke that as a kid you think is just silly and then when you are an adult you figure out the double meaning.

The Benny/Allen feud is one of the funniest running gags in history if you ask me and they didn't get dirty in that they just picked out each other with clever retorts and sending deadly poplar bears through the mail. Oh and who can forget Mel Blanc being driven to suicide on a Christmas episode!

it wasn't just comedy,Dragnet managed to be what I think is still the most hard hitting and realistic cop show ever made without having to cross the line.  I mean they did a show about child rape where they didn't shy away from showing how bad it was and yet they somehow did it without having to make you listen to it happening,now that is good writing.

Oh and what amazes me is that Burns and Allen managed to do the dumb blond bit for decades and it never once came off as sexist,just as a good comedy bit. I think that could be down to the fact that they were both very smart and George Burns really did love Gracie Allen a lot.

Say what you will about vaudeville but it produced some great talent that managed to stand the test of time.  Reading George Burns and Groucho Marx's books about their lives show that it was a rough and very interesting time and anyone who made their way through it tended to know what they were doing and how comedy worked and that it was based on wit and not just being dirty.

I am so glad my mom had two cases of old radio shows and my PBS station played so many reruns of the TV versions when I was a kid because I think people who didn't grow up on this stuff are really missing out on some great stuff.

Yeah for instance I know most people hated this movie and thought it was garbage and he did too but I like that at the end of his Man of Steel review he put his finger right on why people like myself and Angry Joe really loved the movie and while he didn't like it he is smart enough to understand why we do and that it is not because we are idiots. 

I really like it when he does a movie like lost in space because in a movie like that the stupid piles up so fast that I have a hard time explaining exactly what I didn't like I just remember that it was a bad movie but he is very good at putting his finger on what is bad or good about a movie or why it is loved or hated.  I find he is much better at explaining stuff like that then most film critics so while I watch his show for the laughs I also find myself feeling informed at the end of an episode and I love that he has a real passion for film and has fun with reviewing it.

 But then who will stop the alien spirits from stealing my precious bodily fluids?

Yeah I love the Nostalgia Critic and think it is as good as it ever was and I like seeing him interact with other characters. Also he is far funnier when he is yelling at movies then I ever am and he has brought movies to my attention I wouldn't know a think about with out him. So yeah I love the show and the character. I am also I huge Warner brothers and Daffy Duck fan.
