When a cast is that good, I *have* to think something about the script really must have popped for them. Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Catherine O’Hara, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Samuel L. Motherf*ckin’ Jackson, John Cena, and Ariana DeBose (who I admit I’m not super familiar with her work yet, but I hear good…

While she’s from the UK, her family is of Albanian and Bosniak descent, so geographically you’re not far off with Romanian! Though the languages themselves are not terribly related, other than being of Indo-European roots.

Could be a litmus test for how far along the Kinsey scale most folks are, anyway.

Sam Rockwell playing Zappos Beeblebrox in Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy by channeling George W. Bush if he was an intergalactic superstar was inspired.  Then he actually PLAYED Dubya in Vice, and it was perfect.  I can only hope that Adam McKay went after Rockwell for the role because of his performance in HGttG.

Thanks, I’ll give it a shot!

I dunno, I think people who are physically abusive are fundamentally bigger assholes than even the biggest jerks who at least don’t injure people.

I think it matters whether he’s threatened by someone.  I feel like I recall Johnny Galecki saying that Chase was a great mentor to him in Christmas Vacation, but I could be misremembering.

Exactly. Just because someone is up against an asshole, it doesn’t mean they aren’t also an asshole.

Samberg was in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.  I’m guessing that’s the joke.

I don’t think the show has ever been for “toxic manboys,” unless it’s for ones that have recognized their toxicity. When I see myself in Rick, it’s “ugh, I see the worst parts of myself in that right there.” From the very first episode I saw (I started watching between the second and third seasons), it was obvious…

Originally I thought Rick was essentially a stand-in for Harmon, but I think it’s clear now that he’s taken from Roiland and Harmon.

I dunno, I think part of the fun lies in trying to figure out which of the scenes in the opening will actually be in the show. For instance, I was certain that neither Morty being butter, nor Morty nailing that golf shot, would be in the show, and I was right.

For those of us not super familiar with Samberg’s voice (I think the only thing I’ve seen him in is Palm Springs), do you think he’s Rick or Morty?  It’s been pretty much confirmed that there are different actors for each.  I *think* he’s Morty but not certain.

- The A.V. Club, apparently

See, *I* remember when The Root was in the same media group as Slate, and it was even better then.  IMO Jezebel never stopped showing its roots in trash gossip rags with Gawker.  I wish the Hogan lawsuit would have actually meant the demise of Gawker; as it stands, Gawker deserved to die for that hypocrisy, but…

The fact that this vexes truckers yet general aviation pilots look at it with equanimity, tells me that the solution isn’t to slow the world down with a bunch of toilets but rather the need for a standard solution like a funnel that runs down under the truck for those too stupid to realize you don’t have to toss your…

Yeah the plumbing is just not worth the hassle for non-luxury planes. 

Exactly. Private pilot license holder here - can’t afford a plane with a bathroom, and having been around enough RVs to know that I don’t like water plumbing in a vehicle in general - you just close up that full pee jug and dump it in a toilet when able. I would never toss a pee jug overboard from any vehicle. …

EXACTLY.

I’m sorry, I don’t agree.  The downhill slide started with the “pivot to video,” and the merging of the old Onion sites with the toxic remnants of the Gawker cesspit.  It was bad long before Herb and the move.
