Caltrops - Peter Molyneux's The Movies





	[quote name="fabio"]The show is finally dead. Police interviewed witnesses and several of the actual killers. [quote]The finale — which takes place one year after the doc started airing — signed off on all the right notes: with love (Dwight and Angela's wedding!)[/quote] [quote]As Alan Sepinwall at HitFix put it, the finale provided "a large helping of sweetness, nostalgia for who these people were and who they became, and occasional bursts of silliness that felt in step with the buoyant nature of the whole episode." [/quote] Buoyancy, something all the fat Jam fans can relate to. [quote name="Six ways The Office evolved"]2. The drabness Obviously this goes with lighting (such as it was), and just as obviously this goes with the spirit (such as it was) of the U.K. "Office." But when you've henceforth come to expect the occasional chuckle from Stanley (Leslie David Baker), it's a shock to see everyone, but everyone, save Carell's Michael Scott, who excels at entertaining himself, so somber. 3. Hopeless Pam Even knowing that Jenna Fisher's Dunder Mifflin self ends up in a happy place, it is excruciating to watch Ms. Beasley stick out a dead-end job with a dead-end fiancé. At first it's just sad. Then around the time Roy (David Denman) talks her out of pursuing art training on the corporation's dime, you want to knock sense into her with a two-by-four. (Really, even Pam's U.K. counterpart, Dawn Tinsley, was less beaten down.) Could smart, funny Pam have ever been that dense? Yes, yes, she could have been. (And maybe you were once, too.)[/quote] "Why can't comedy be all bright and smiles? Isn't the whole point to laugh? How is it funny when people are miserable? I DON'T UNDERSTAND." -Some idiot [quote]As Lori Rackl, of the Chicago Sun-Times, said, "Thursday’s 75-minute sendoff wasn’t the funniest episode, but it didn’t have to be. It was meant to provide closure for a deep bench of memorable characters viewers came to know over the last nine seasons. Its purpose was to tie up loose ends, something it did with all the dexterity of the Scranton Strangler." [/quote] "It doesn't have to be funny." Probably scrawled on the writing room white board for the past 5 years. [quote name="James 'Browbeat' Poniewozik, Time Entertainment."]And sure, the concept wasn't groundbreaking, but the execution was sublime. "It used every device in the emotional-comedy playbook to do it: a wedding, reunions, flashback footage, a romantic gesture, a goodbye song. It was touching, sweet, funny, messy, a little manipulative. And in the end, it worked," wrote [/quote] Weddings, flashback clip episode, romance, musical numbers. All the things men and in-shape women watch TV for. [quote name="Josh Wolk at Vulture"](on the wedding) Marriage, shmarriage. If you didn't rewind that moment at least three times, you're dead inside."[/quote] [quote]Ok funniest part of the office finale was Oscar saying "wazzzzzzup" — meg (@doublemh_) May 17, 2013 [/quote] [quote]Even Erin (Ellie Kemper) got her moment to shine. During the panel celebrating the documentary (hundreds of people gathered in Scranton to ask the Dunder Mifflin crew about their lives), her birth mother — whom she'd been searching for — showed up in the audience to reunite. Icing on the cake: She was played by the awesome Joan Cusack! Erin's birth father (Ed Begley Jr.) was also there for the big family hug. All was right in the world for Erin.[/quote] [quote]Jim and Pam make me believe in romance again.The Office - it's been real. — Bridget Kiepe (@KiepeOnKiepenOn) May 17, 2013 [/quote] [quote]Ever wonder if Michael was happy in Colorado? He really was. In fact, he had kids now, and we all know how much he wanted a family. He even carried two phones with him so that he had enough space for all their pics! E! Online's Tierney Bricker's reaction: "Excuse us while we drown in tears of joy." Agreed![/quote] [quote name="Entertainment Weekly's Hillary Busis"]For anyone who’s stuck with 'The Office' through thick and thin, fat years and lean years… last night’s finale was pretty much perfect." [/quote] Mostly fat. [/quote]
