It's been seven years since Jean Gray died again and she hasn't come back.

Is "sugar" even street slang for coke?
Did you really have to describe Phife Dawg's diabetes as "addiction to sugar". For a while there I wasn't sure if you were talking about that or if he was addicted to cocaine.

The Handicap Spot
I have to disagree with your grade and your general attitude about this episode. In my opinion, The Handicap Spot is one of the lesser Seinfeld episodes when compared to the other episodes in the series and especially the season. The characterizations are all wrong and not just with Frank Costanza.…

Fincher and the producer also seemed to be defensive about their film. What with "thanking" Zuckerberg over and over again and at one point yelling the word "Metaphor" like it wasn't obvious enough.

Pretty sure this is after a long break for the high school kids since one kid mentioned baseball camp, which I guess happens in the winter in California because why the hell not.

"From the moment Joel said the bird was OK, when it totally wasn't, I was all "Don't lie to the kid!" - what possible good can come from it? Are you going to somehow replace it with a live bird? Kids are eventually going to find out things die. That's what hamsters and gerbils and anoles were invented for.

Damon Lindelof's Numbers Were Wrong
According to the official site for the lottery the actual number of people who played the LOST number could potentially be 25,000 people.

Yea if you really want to talk about a failing Tina Fey project we have to talk about Baby Mama.

The first episodes of Jay & Silent Bob Get Old where they go through Jason Mewes' entire history with drugs are amazing.

First knew him as Johnny Gavin on Rescue Me. SPOILLLERS!!! Until he died. Like everyone else on that show.

Proof that I watched way too much tv as a kid.
There was a Saved By The Bell Christmas Carol episode.l The gang was working at the mall, and there was a homeless guy and his daughter. And a performance of a Christmas Carol starring Screech. That's about all I remember but its enough to make me feel ashamed.

That last statement was in general and not aimed at Sean or anyone in particular.

If you believe adaptation = "idea recycling" I want you to take this to heart:

@Sean And I'm saying that I wouldn't call The Haunted Mansion and a The Incredible Hulk tv series "safe" since they could easily fail. They have failed before. In these cases the studios are putting their money not on the property but on the creator. Which is something I support seeing as how the creator has a…

@Blarg But the problem with Alice in Wonderland wasn't that it was based on Alice in Wonderland. The problem was that Tim Burton's once original ideas were tired retreads now.

But you're calling his movies inane safe bets 1) without having seen them or 2) acknowledging that they are actually very good and original.

Oh yea that 8 page interview was just teeming with incendiary statements about Hollywood. Yet you chose to splice 4 statements from 2 different people that were an answer to one question into one sentence and stick them in a story that is only really about one of them.

Yea. I wish I had the time to explain the nuance of everything I say. Most people don't. Fortunately I don't have snarky bloggers getting ready to report every single thing I say.

Yes The Haunted Mansion is soooooo safe. There is no way a movie based on The Haunted Mansion could EVER fail.

But certainly even the sequels he himself chooses to make (I'm talking about Hellboy 2 and Haunted Mansion here) aren't obviously cash grabs. Hellboy wasn't a wildly successful movie mainly because Hellboy is an off putting hero that started out in a comic that barely anyone is aware of. And if making a movie with…
