@avclub-7aefa9e2af18cd9e2fde628a5e813aa5:disqus Sylvester McCoy played the Seventh Doctor with a light Scottish accent and nobody ever really gave a damn.

Joy Division were the first band to have the word "gothic" used to describe their music.

*Maclean.

Is physical resemblance that important?

"Swampland: The Story of the Birthday Party".  Starring all of the Wiggles as Nick Cave

Apparently 'Document' was nearly called 'REM Speedwagon'

@avclub-1e98b8abf1ee5fc9a1e44168b7e3e53e:disqus I disagree.  I felt the role in Tinker Tailor didn't really suit him.  He'd have made a great Toby Esterhase, though.

I felt Cumberbatch was pretty much misused in Star Trek, much as he has been in all his major film rolls post-Sherlock.

Andy in Season 3 was pretty interesting, and Ed Helms pulled it off.  But yeah, after that they just floundered, and I think the pressure to use Ed Helms, an actor they basically lucked into by signing him just before his efforts outside the show gave him a high profile, couldn't have helped.

It's possible that he just knew the Stanford market really well, but his skills didn't transfer.

The bit with Michael pretending to take instructions from his second head seemed hugely out of character.  It felt like he'd got Jim's lines by mistake.

I'd always imagined the "You quit" line Rorshach delivers as he walks away down Nite Owl's escape tunnel delivered in a deadpan.  Having Rorshach yell it, instead… well, it pretty much sums up what was wrong with the movie.

Alan Moore believes that his ownership of his characters should preclude anyone should ever do anything else with them for fear of ruining them.

Look, I hate Ann Coulter as much as anybody left of centre, but the whole LOL SHEZ A MAN LOLOL thing is just… well, it's the kind of crap Coulter herself would come up with, ironically.

Too bad everyone knows it's Burt Reynolds

Saying "downright" alone puts you in Hatred-speak territory

How about [RANDOM GUY WITH NOTHING IN PARTICULAR TO RECOMMEND HIM APART FROM BEING BRITISH] to play Orpheus?

@avclub-e95a45d0b1f5afdf0ab9cde82b4b1d06:disqus I think he was just surprised to see Doc acting paternal to anyone, regardless of blood status.  As the review says, this is kind of a new side to Rusty.

@avclub-33807fbc68d335db8080d3c10cb78822:disqus That was basically the last point at which The Office was still a solid show.
