Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Yeah, it does. Good ear! (I half-expected to see Robin Sparkles prance across the background of that clip!)

From Fresh Air with Terry Gross yesterday. He was a very engaging, interesting interviewee.

Movies Rainn Wilson, From 'Office' Drone To 'Rocker' Star

Twitchy undertaker, cubicle fiend, sassy convenience-store clerk — Rainn Wilson has long gravitated toward eccentric characters. But is The Office actor attempting the leap to sex symbol through his titular role in The Rocker? Given the hair-metal coif and the still-goofy humor, probably not.

In costume.

Risking back injury.

Four tiered.

Though my favorite is the 21 and 24 cosplay duo.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So, I caught up with the Venture Brothers. I agree with Corwood - I have no idea what this show is anymore (besides convoluted, weird and oddly compelling). There are moments of humor (sometimes LOL-worthy), but I can't remotely call it a comedy anymore. I think it's some kind of work of genius - I mean the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen parody with Samuel Clemens and Oscar Wilde? Brilliant! - but I'm not sure it even belongs with the other Adult Swim shows at this point.

I thought the Lepidopterists episode was funny, but otherwise it's been low on laughs. I did enjoy the last episode though.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What I've found odd is how many episodes this season have focused on flashbacks.

Maybe they are gearing up for a big Watchmen tribute.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Maybe they are gearing up for a big Watchmen tribute.

Ooh I just got all tingly.
