There's a moment in the original run where a drunken Lucille admits she always liked Michael's wife, and I wondered if that was actually a dark omen and that Tracey was another case of Michael's blinders.

I guess that was Mireille Enos' Emmy submission, huh?

The logic that says that the international director made a global movie of east and west coming together to save the world, but of course, the starring woman of color is nowhere to be seen in the promotional material.

As opposed to autistic detective shows?

I actually kind of hope this movie bombs as payback to the racist-ass marketers who've gone out of their way to avoid giving even the slightest impression that this movie has some Asian woman as its female lead.

It reminds me of the Calvin & Hobbes strip about the tyrannosaurus rexes in F-16s. I come down on the Hobbes side of the argument.

That's two hours and ten minutes. That's positively brisk by current standards. For Christopher Nolan (or Peter Jackson) movies, that usually only gets you up to the end of act 2.

I believe her theory was that Perfecto thought she was a real 17 year old using a fake ID to get in the bar.

How many scenes in that episode end with one man pressed up against
another, inadvertently simulating anal sex? And how many of those scenes
involve relatives?

I thought I caught the word "cunt-punt" in that tirade. Not on the level of GOB's sexual harassment talk, but a worthy entry to the Bluth bleep canon.

The GOB-Michael fight in the kiddy playroom probably seemed like it was gonna be comedy gold on paper, but that was one of the more disappointingly lame callbacks of the season. I always get a kick out of the "balls in the air" song though. All the music choices throughout the season were great, old and new. I liked

This was basically the most Venture Bros. a Venture Bros. episode can be. Hyperdense. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I've only ever seen about half of The Killing's episodes, but I checked in on this one because it's the Sunday after a holiday weekend with literally nothing else on and AMC is apparently reairing the episode over and over again all night. And the few episodes I've seen this season were mostly interesting and by all

Does anyone know what the first tv show or movie to do the non-linear/overlapping narrative gimmick? That must have been crazy groundbreaking for whoever invented it, but nowadays it's just like "oh yeah, here's the part where Brock finishes Gather's line, and then it'll cut to Rusty and then it'll cut back to

He never heard the bullet years and years of poor lifestyle choices that larded up his arteries.

"I thought she was…hair."

I like to think great thought was put into the question of how to improve on GOB's Final Countdown entrance in the last six years. The answer?

I actually really appreciated that this movie admitted that the US military has near-superhero capabilities of its own. Unlike The Avengers, whose starwhales would have had a rough go against a squadron of F-18s rather than Scarlett Johannson on a speeder.

Having now seen it, Zod is organic to the plot (the part where he gets sent into the Phantom Zone for four minutes before Krypton explodes doesn't make a ton of sense) and he's one of the strongest parts of the movie.
