I wasn't super into his material on Caligula, but I love Jeselnik's delivery/sociopathically confident stage persona. I've thought a lot about what makes his "offensive" or "edgy" stuff not as shitty as comedians like Daniel Tosh, and it's probably some combination of his stage persona being clearly distinct from his…

Um, okay, I would have just ignored this comment if it weren't quite so condescending, but fuck it: one of us is definitely ignoring large swathes of the text and I don't think it's me. Like yeah, it's a big part of Emma's character that she refuses to be in the wrong and kind of lacks empathy, but 1) she still…

Oh man, 2009 BBC Emma is the definitive Emma adaptation for me. The chemistry between Romola Garai and JLM is delightful and almost makes me forget how inherently creepy* the Emma/Knightley relationship is in the book (it probably helps that JLM is only 10 years older than Garai). But yeah, between like Knightley,…

Wait, since when is The Golden Compass not YA? (Although like honestly what does YA even mean)

To be fair, I'm 1) kind of a huge asshole and 2) still young enough that none of my friends or cousins have kids so I haven't really needed to be "diplomatic" about it yet.

Weird, I'd say that Hudson Yang is far better than the younger kids, in the sense that his line readings don't feel quite as forced. But I also can't really stand hearing children talk, so that may be on me.

For a CBS show that isn't The Good Wife? Uh yeah, probably. I'm not saying that Elementary is unworthy of their talents, or even that they're more talented than the actors who are on Elementary, just…once you get a big movie franchise, you're less likely to appear on network procedurals. The level of prestige…

I'm not totally sure what outfit you're referring to, but man, I love that they don't just put Lucy Liu in generically stylish clothes. Joan's wardrobe makes so much sense for her character/does a lot of characterization work of its own and I have way more to say about it than I can say in a sort of pithy comment but…

Okay, I haven't read that many of her interviews, so I hope you're right. It's just that her season 2 appearances were before her Hunger Games bump in fame, I think? But that might not matter at all (hopefully).

Unfortunately (for Elementary, not in general) Natalie Dormer has probably gotten way too big for network television. But if she hasn't, I would love to see them explore Moriarty's relationship with Watson more, because come on, she painted a huge fucking portrait of Joan from memory?

My favorite Martin Starr anecdote (from the Paley Center's Freaks and Geeks reunion a few years ago) is that he and Franco used to lift together and he started getting too buff for Bill Haverchuck, so they made him wear long sleeves to hide his physique.

Why would you name a character in a supernatural show Carmilla and then not even have her be a (lesbian) vampire? It's like naming a character Varney (I get that Dracula is too famous for this analogy) and then having him be a wendigo or something; the reference is appreciated, but if you're going to go there, just…

Shit, that sounds unbearable—thanks for the warning. I guess we'll always have the glorious 2009 ITV miniseries.

Chelsea Peretti: One of the Greats: I think I already saw all of the best jokes from this in GIF form over the past few months, and the rest was…okay, because I like Peretti's delivery persona, but not like brilliant. Which is a problem I seem to have with the hour-long special format in general—there will be a few…

Oh no, I've been meaning to watch that since 1) Kaya Scodelario is gorgeous and 2) I spent years trying to convince people that Heathcliff isn't white, so I felt somewhat vindicated by the casting. So like…what is the second worst movie you've ever seen, so that I have some measure of comparison?

A lot of the Comedy Central shows seem to be flying under the radar, so not that surprised about Kroll Show. And I think it relies more on gross-out humor and uncomfortably off-putting characters than Key & Peele and Inside Amy Schumer without actually using any of that to make political/social statements, so that…

No need to imagine. Just watch Skins.

Oh, no, I actually kind of hate Girls. I mean, I still watch it religiously and think it probably has some cultural value, but oh my god, I can't stand it. Broad City is a show that I genuinely like.

You could probably ask this about the entire cast of BSG, with the exception of McDonnell and Olmos (in the sense that they were already big stars and certainly didn't lose star power from being on the show). Hogan's been getting steady work, and maybe that's good enough for him? I personally love it when he gets to…

One of the writers for the show has said that everything that happens is actually happening (somewhere in here: http://www.rottentomatoes.c…. So, that should settle that for future reviews if any of the reviewers read the comments?
