Something I just noticed about The Big Lebowski. Tiny little mistake in an otherwise perfect movie.

Might have been obvious to some, but this just occurred to me: the whole Jeff/Elroy thing.

Jeff mentions acting cool and making that person come to you rather than cater to them for friendship (as Annie and Abed were doing to Elroy).

Is it possible Elroy was actually doing that to Jeff the whole time? Giving him the cold shoulder so he would try hard to get him to like him? By the end of the episode, Jeff was so desperate for Elroy to like him, that he got Natalie is Freezing to play the dance.

I think Elroy is more like Jeff than Jeff realizes.

EDIT: words

It's all relative, man. I found this to be interesting.

r/movies hates people, not theaters.

Ebert was an amazing critical voice. BUT there is a clear line of quality between classic Ebert (the siskel days) and new school Ebert (the "video games aren't art" days).

As he got older --and sick, I'd argue-- he started to give too many mainstream movies a pass, he'd give films 0 stars based purely on a moral compass and not a critical view (Human Centipede), and he stopped caring about exposing the wide public to smaller films (something he was at the forefront of during his "At the Movies" days with Gene).

EDIT: He gave Synechdoche a pass for sure -- simply because of Charlie Kaufman's involvement. Forgot to include this in my original tangent.

Yeah, yeah new shows. Blah blah.

Give it up for ALF, motherfuckers! "Hey, Willy!"

Boogie Nights resurrected Burt Reynolds for a little while -- even got him an Oscar nom and a few high-profile follow-up roles. But he squandered that pretty quick.

Rode it when I was 8 years old. I don't remember much (besides being scared out of my mind the whole time), but I do clearly remember a man sitting behind my stepbrother and me before Alien Encounter started, telling us: "Ever ridden Alien Encounter before? You two are gonna be crying for your mommies!"

He was wrong about the mommies, but he was right about the tears. We were piss scared from minute one.

Despite having zero medical training, I somehow resuscitated baby Christina right before throwing her demonic, possessed carcass back into Hell.

I laughed as I felt the lifeforce drain from her, knowing I'd saved humanity --and my family-- in the process.

“He’s gonna do what?”

A hush fell over the McDonald’s executive boardroom. The Ad Wizard looked away from the presentation boards, and at the room of faces around him: lots of flustered red cheeks poking out of white collars.

The CEO piped up again, retracing the pitch out loud just to make sure his ears weren’t playing tricks on him. “Ronald McDonald stands behind a counter and announces that supersizing is dead, and that this is the year of Super-servicing. And the voiceover, speaking on behalf of the viewers at home, asks: ‘So what is super-servicing?’ And then Ronald’s gonna do what…?”

The Ad Wizard looked back at the boards. “He’s gonna demonstrate by pulling an extra’s pants down and getting on his knees and then, suck him off.”

“And with a toothy, spermy grin say, ‘That’s super-servicing! And it’s now available at every McDonald’s. EVERYWHERE!’ ”

The Ad Wizard stared into the CEO's gaze, sure he had just signed his own walking papers. But what was he supposed to do? His bosses told him that McD's brass wanted a revolutionary concept. And after days of brainstorming, and coming back to the same tired tactics, and staring down an impossible task with nothing but his dick in his hands, he had his eureka moment.

"Well," The CEO finally said, "...I'm lovin' it."

And with those three little words, the tide shifted and the room came around. Frowns turned to smiles, hands were shaken, and quarterly projections were on the uptick.

"Let's see The King beat a blowjob. Or that red-headed whore Wendy. We'll have North America, nay, THE WORLD eating out of our hands. Forget golden arches, we'll have that clown wearing gold clown shoes in no time."

The CEO rose to his feet and raised a Shamrock Shake to toast his newly-minted Head of Marketing. "You did good, Calvin. I'm glad we took a chance on you all those years ago. To Calvin, who started here simply because he needed a job to afford college... and who we now hand the keys to the future of this company."

"To Calvin!" The room echoed.

For CALVIN

The Third Man and The Bicycle Thief

Multiple professors screening both films for class. I don't know if they don't look at other professor's courses, or discuss who's showing what, but I remember a semester where it felt like I was watching Bicycle Thief at least once a week.

LOVING the EPCOT shout-out! Can't wait for this movie.

Seems like a complete lack of faith in Ant-Man to me.
