I do not know how to live life and therefore had not seen the first one but these were just a delight!

booo I don’t know how to post a picture.

I was also really torn about who to root for in the Daisy-William thing, because everyone is pushing her to love him and dammit sometimes you just can’t love someone no matter how much you should. BUT he just wants to take care of her! But she’s just trying to do the right thing! But but but!

Hey at least that holds up the “sanctity of marriage” argument.

Birdsong? I liked it. Fairly scandalous. I got super into him after Pillars of the Earth.

I feel like P&R isn’t as laugh-out-loud funny as it used to be, but it’s still my favorite. I actually applauded for Leslie. I thought April and Andy were hilarious, posturing as rich people. Ron is still the best.

Moriarty’s line “Honey, you should see me in a crown” is perfection, though–best delivery. I had to keep rewinding that moment.

Talk to me when you make more than 3 episodes a series, Ben. Quantity over quality!

I try to be respectful of cultural differences but I cannot stop laughing at the taxi driver named Wong Wei.

Yeah I had to stop watching because I felt so bad for him. Jerk parents!

That baby looks just like Wallace Shawn.

If you’re near a library, mine had it pretty much immediately after it came out on DVD!

I just kind of laughed in disbelief at every comment. I did like the one about letting nature take its course. But with all those dreamy pictures, I don’t believe Ned Hepburn was convinced.

With your brother and your friends who are also siblings, and it’s The Lion King, and you sit in the front row and spill your giant tub of popcorn on the floor right at the beginning and you’re in hysterics the whole rest of the movie and Mufasa’s death therefore is not moving because you can’t stop laughing. Later you’ll go to your friends’ house and play poker and keep laughing about nothing (literally, the words “cup” and “dollar bill” will set you off and it will be a running joke even 17 years later at your friend’s wedding). Actually that’s probably the best way to watch a movie.

How about Armageddon with your extended family, where you’re sitting by your dad and you just sob and sob and sob when Bruce Willis sacrifices himself for Ben Affleck and it’s super embarrassing? That was a bad way to watch a movie.

Great post/story/video/life.

Ahhhh the ducklings! You are #1 in my heart!

But really, I can only make myself watch other TNTV when P&R is on, which is probably dumb because I still check the open thread every week!

Bring back Parks & Rec! Seriously, when does that come back?

I could take one for the team and keep Gale occupied, because I really care about you guys and this venture. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

So you won’t sacrifice your arms and some bread for the girl you lurve? Not interested.

Ooooh let’s turn it into a commune and we’ll make soap and candles and do tours to make enough money to feed our goats. I wanna live on a commune so bad.

Ah I was typing my comment forever but the Katniss/Peeta thing is addressed in the book. Actually a lot of your points are addressed in the series, I think, so if you have a week(end?) to spare you could knock them out pretty quickly. And you might still have criticisms after reading, but those points at least are answered.
