Maybe he can call up Samantha Morton for some moral support.

Nothing in the TSA rulebook says a dog _can't_ hijack a plane.

He's in the Crust!

I think Transformers were kids movies in a lot of ways, not just that they starred robots. In fact i think that's one of the biggest things wrong with them: that there's so much pitiful comedy for 9 year-olds in there that it's hard to laugh at the stupidity and audaciousness of the "serious" stuff.

It does, but presumably Brian's rating of other related things has changed very little in this span, so the prediction tanking would still be based on a bunch of low ratings of this show from other viewers.

It's so sad that even after she abandons her principles and resorts to stealing someone's act, she's terrible at that too. Even the non-comedian "funny guy" at the office who just quotes catchphrases would have the good sense to not try to pull of "I'm round and brown and here to get down*"

Yeah so either those guys hired an agent who just happened to have an acronym for their name as his name, or he changed it to suit the job.

I love that diminutive of "worker" sounds cutesy at first, like a term of endearment, and then you realize it could also mean "child laborer."

There's a chance it'll be like seeing classic simpsons seasons today; that you'll realize you've heard a lot of its best jokes done badly and out of context for years and this unfairly hurts the source material. And that might make it disappointing to some degree, but it'll still be really good.

I liked Lord of the Rings fine, but was really taken aback by the idea of it being a "best of" anything in terms of anything but influence. But then i couldn't actually come up with a counterexample for a long time. I think i may have actually grown to just not like fantasy very much over the years.

Yes, because we're adolescent nerd fantasy connoisseurs.

I'm hopeful that he will just make it into another of the heavily nostalgic sci fi adventures he's known for, since that seems like the strongest connection between the two. I mean, he's got a way with using overall style and setting to convey that sort of thing slightly more elegantly than this sounds.

I haven't read it. Is it basically a completely unfunny American Pie or Superbad type thing, because i think that genre is the male Twilight analogue.

Shazam is also what he says to turn into Captain Marvel and maybe also the guy who gave him that power, is that right?

Haven't we all given birth to our own rapists in one form or another? No? That's incredibly messed up you say? Well never mind then.

I still definitely don't understand it. I did not actually realize the Danvers in Supergirl weren't supposed to be family members of Carol's (because that's a different publisher) until this comment section.

Huh really? I assumed they were in there with Comcast based on some other offers.

I'd say the idea is that this the studio saying "What we have right now isn't a good movie, but we're going to fix it!" And then either they're wrong and "fixing" it hurts, or they're right, and their track record on fixing such things at this late phase is at least a little bit worse than the overall rate of good…

How sad is it seeing 30 Rock revived in the form of unironic advertising for its parent telecom?

Well, they had that part down, but then had to match the tone of a vaudeville show about a bickering couple refusing to ask for directions in a bad neighborhood too. Star Wars tonal consistency: why start now?
