Just thought I’d chime in: the proposed law regarding compensation for reviews may be one of the most dangerous the web has ever seen:

Money shot: “Nobody likes deceptive advertising or fishy bloggers. But I’d rather wade through steaming piles of unethical crap on the Web than give the FTC Javertian powers to pursue shady advertorial. This is one of those cases in which the government’s solution is 10 times worse than the problem.”
I’m a girl who love’s Star wars & i’m sick to Death of the Prequel hate & ben foster need’s to give up acting! He sucks!
I was surprised that the Toy Story 3D double feature did so well. People really love those movies.
And yup, Soul is a delusional, sad little man:)
Yeah, The Invention of Lying is a movie with a great premise, but poor execution. Somehow not being able to lie causes you to blurt everything on your mind uncontrolably? Also, it was billed as a romantic comedy, but turned out to be some bizarre, preachy atheist “propaganda” as you described it. I definitely felt tricked.
My guess is you guys missed the wonderful “Rodger Dodger” in 2002, but Jesse Eisenberg, who is in fact five years older than Michael Cera, has been doing his thing for a while now. He just hasn’t made wise career decisions.
I really like that flick, Kris. And I forgot that Jesse Eisenberg was the kid. I just remember how damned unlikeable Campbell Scott was (intentionally so). I also thought that I would be seeing big things from the director in the future. It’s seven years later and I haven’t heard anyone say “Dylan Kidd” in a long time.
While I felt that the Invention of Lying was underwhelming I think you missed the point about almost every character being rude. Gervais (as the narrator) already mentions in the first minute that because no one can lie, everyone always says what they think.
Hey Josh great podcast i am going to go see Zombieland now and your gave me a great b day present last september when u did it on my b day thanks for great podcast pleas do more
Excellent fun on this podcast!
I thought Eisenberg nearly sunk Zombieland. I didn’t buy for one second that he would have been one of a handful of survivors…and I didn’t buy that he was the author of the rules for survival.
I also thought that several key scenes got the short shrift…especially the big showdown with Woody Harrelson.
Why doesn’t he ever put Rodney on these podcasts, he writes a majority of the articles on the site.
YOu were going to talk about Percy jackson last time but didn’t due to time. Are you ever going to?
I love it when John got pissed about The Invention of Lying lmao!
I need to see Zombieland.
Why is it that you surround yourself with hot chicks for these then go audio only.
Think of the readers John!!
At least he puts pictures up and did that one video podcast with Christina.
Man, I really want to listen to this but it’s midnight and I have school tomorrow.
