Until we all get roped into watching it.

Yesterday I was full of big thoughts for a long-winded rebuttal of this argument, but today I’m feeling lazy so I’ll just do unconnected points and try to keep them brief.

Another sign you’re n0t dealing with a great rhetorician is when they start a statement of pure opinion with “Think about it.” As if the only possible source of disagreement could be that people just aren’t thinking and it’s your job to set them straight.

I’m gonna take issue with “never equaled,” too. Tell me this wouldn’t be your favorite Wes Anderson movie if it ever actually got made:

Avatar: “But YOU won Best Picture!”

I’m not usually this guy, but...

I don’t care enough to investigate, no, but I always care enough to enjoy when somebody else has done the work for me and wants to share it. What else are comments sections for?

One film that I’ve idly wondered about in this respect is Argo; it’s another “based on a true story” historical drama, but I haven’t cared enough to actually investigate which parts were faked up for the movie.

Come on people, keep up! Wasn’t this already explained in a Cheetos commercial two years ago?

I think he could certainly carry a single episode. Maybe some kind of 5-hour/10 episode anthology limited series focusing on one Lassoverse character at a time? It worked for Arrested Development...

Granted that I’ve only got the surface treatment of the issue that the AV Club’s summary of someone else’s article provides, but to me the philosophy seems to be “Pablo Picasso, the reason I have your attention, doesn’t deserve your attention! Women artists do. Here are some women artists to pay attention to instead.”

It is framed in an ambiguous way, with the montage bookended by Ted boarding his flight and then waking up as it ends. I’d say there is support for either interpretation, and it also leaves everyone in a nice spot to either continue the story or be satisfied with the endings shown.

If we can’t rely on gin-soaked Arsenal fans for reliable information, I don’t even know what to say about the world we live in.

One lingering question I was left with was whether a Premier League team would actually allow public ownership. Everybody loves the story of the hometown Green Bay Packers and their fan-owned stock, but fewer know that the NFL owners decided (in 1980) to change the rules so that it can never happen again.

The trailers have done their job of washing the sour taste of Miller’s garbage behavior out of my mouth, as somebody who pretty much only goes out to the multiplex for superhero or sci-fi movies anymore.

I really loved how Hader played that moment. You get that long, intense silence where you can physically see the weight of his long, horrible journey settling on him (mirroring the bit earlier, where Hank has heard Fuches strip away every shred of his self-justification and crumbles) and then he opens his mouth and…

Just before Barry walks in we see Gene reading press clippings showing him that he’s lost the only two things that ever really motivated him: a credible shot at big, big fame and a loving relationship with his son. His life was over in every way that mattered, but he did manage to make Barry pay for Janice’s murder,…

So... a rumor that I heard — which is probably worth what most rumors are, I suppose — is that Juno Temple did not have as much availability for filming as she did in previous seasons, because she was making something else. So if Keeley feels isolated from the main cast and trapped in her own little world of small…

I was just thinking about this in terms of History of the World Part II, which some circles seemed eager to characterize as a lame, unfunny cash-grab by Mel Brooks.

Comedy is of course subjective, but I saw plenty of perfectly acceptable theatrical comedies in the 21st century: Baby Mama (2008), The Other Guys (2010), Horrible Bosses (2011), 21 Jump Street (2012), Sisters (2015), and Keanu (2016) were all enjoyable from where I sit. (Some might say some of them are action…
