A grown-ass woman with how many cats?

Dead baby jokes are one of those things that, when you're a teenager and being edgy to be edgy, are basically funny because babies are sort of more of an annoying concept and less of a real thing that you care about, but then you non-specifically get to an age where someone you know has had a miscarriage - or even an

And if you mess up the cook, the headset explodes, releasing toxic, burning gasses!

I totally forgot Alan Ball wrote that movie. That explains so much.

You can't have beat him to the punch when it's explicitly what I was thinking about when I wrote that!

You are not. That is a thing that happened in this movie.

He knew that he had to prepare for his greatest audition challenge: to be cast as an extra in Westworld.

Like a lot of stuff from the late '90s, it's fine, but it's also fairly stuck in its historical context. It's a neat concept and it's largely well-executed, but it's also pretty trite and silly, while thinking it's astonishingly deep.

This movie concept was clearly created by the Family-Guy-by-way-of-South-Park "manatees collect balls with words on them" method.

Was there really any doubt?

Surely Justin Bieber can still be snarked about.

Hollywood, despite plenty of recent examples to the contrary, seems to have totally forgotten that you can make a great-looking movie for $25-$75M, with far less risk if it bombs and a much higher upside if it doesn't. You'd think movies like Deadpool or Lucy or John Wick would be proof enough of concept that they

China has some fascinating and inconsistently enforced rules about depictions of the dead/undead. Ghosts and reanimated skeletons, in particular, cause a lot of problems. WoW had to develop completely different models for the undead to secure Chinese approval.

Right. And the whole premise is "the fat friend kills a stripper by accident - hijinks ensue."

That definitely is the joke. I just remain utterly baffled why they were convinced that it was a good joke.

Based on the preview that ran ahead of Wonder Woman today, you definitely shouldn't see that new movie she's in with Scarlett Johansson.

It was Chris Hemsworth (Thor), and I thought he was hilarious in GB. And he has also showed pretty consistently great comedic timing in the MCU.

With the caveat that, on the whole, I enjoyed the 2016 GB, that moment was so bizarre. So much time was spent setting up a giant dance number….that got stuck in the credits instead. Definitely not a good sign for a movie when a big climactic set piece just gets chucked out of the narrative.

I think those grades are a little on the harsh side, but it's pretty telling that Alasdair couldn't bring himself to give this episode a C. You have to go all the way back to "Name of the Doctor" to find the next most recent C in the reviews here.

Jacqueline in general is a great character and Jane Krakowski a great actress, but I would be hard pressed to think of a more tone deaf, poorly conceived "joke" than having her actually be Native American. I think they think that leaning into the curve with everything that happens with the Redskins somehow redeems it?
