Even if it wasn't his decision alone (but I refuse to believe it's a coincidence), I felt it unnecessary and horribly conceived even by comic book resurrection standards.

@Harvey Corman — No, that's why Guinness wanted Kenobi to die. Different story.

The two reasons why I stopped buying Marvel comics were
1) All the bullshit retcons to undo Morrison's story because he wrote Magneto like he was some sort of supervillain or something
2) Whedon's resurrection of Colossus because Kitty Pryde's his favorite character ever

I'm with you there, Zoidberg. I watched the show for a long time, and I honestly don't think any of the THoHs got any better than five.

Obsessed — Actors who are only actors because they sold a bunch of records and got bored are treated on a different continuum than regular actors. Compared to other musicians-turned-actors, Madonna's up there.

CC Baxter — Will Smith took a bit of a risk with "Six Degrees of Separation" for the sake of showing producers he had range. Now the industry just ignores it as a rule.

Supposedly, he's still in there somewhere
A friend of mine used to work as kind of a VIP wrangler for Disney for a time. We got to talking a while back about Eddie Murphy — I can't remember why, at the time — and he was talking about how he got to meet him when he came out to promote the Haunted Mansion. To hear him…

I think one of the weakest points about Season One, fundamentally, was that when it first aired, most of us only knew about the "Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay" pilot. Which was fucking awful. To me, the show started getting good when I realized that "Turtle Bay" was pretty much a different show altogether (and also…

I think half the problem with Hatred is the fine line between pedophile humor and pedophilia humor. There's more 'funny' on the former side than on the latter.

Not how I'd heard it
I'd always heard that Han Solo dying was Harrison Ford's idea, to give Jedi an echo of the impact that the original movie had when Kenobi died.

Awkward
You know how awkward it is being friends with people who think the remake was good?

Deja vu
Didn't we, as a collective internet, already know this?

I find Baruchel's face unsettling for some reason
I dunno why, but for some reason to me Baruchel's face just looks… I dunno, plastic-y. Like he's a shitty CG effect jammed into live-action. Maybe it's because I actually haven't seen him in anything and have only seen him in screen shots and such and he just has one…

Y'know, Prof. Provolone… it is possible that not all critics subscribe to your ethic.

One thing I do find interesting is when a critic's score doesn't seem to match up with the ways they describe a movie. You get films where a critic gives a number of reasons why it didn't work, what went wrong, etc., while the score is still a 3 out of 4 because non-critics might enjoy it. It's like "For those of you…

Critics are still pretty capable of murdering a movie's box office numbers, though. There are plenty of movies that are not terrible but a bad review (either in the sense of 'the critic didn't like it' _or_ 'inaccurate as to what the movie contained') chases away a crowd that may have appreciated it. And sometimes…

He might have a _slight_ point
While I don't necessarily agree with Kevin Smith's tirades in general, I can't deny that I'd be curious to see what effect it would have on reviews if the reviewers had to keep in mind "I had to pay 7.50 to see this" like the people reading the reviews.

Actually, Uwe Boll is a pretty experienced and talented boxer. He doesn't challenge critics because he has a sense of humor. It's because he wants to sucker-punch them because they assume that all he has is a sense of humor.

You're welcome.

This is a useful review
So if I'm not a fan of Rob Corddry, don't even know who Craig Robinson is, and would rather set John Cusack on fire than watch him, I can skip this one. Good to know.
