it's after six, lemon.

stella, stella, you're puttin' me through hell-a!

i know he's an ape; there's just something satisfying about the word "monkey". i'll use it pretty much every chance i get. monkey monkey monkey.

i found it broad and ugly and simple, no subtlety whatsoever. (i mean, there's jackson's direction deciding the character too, but when you're watching something it's hard to separate a performance from the actor giving it.) i know we come in at the end of the picture, when he's clearly lost his mind from…

it's not quite based on stunts, though there is a bit of human stuntwork in it. i live in melbourne, and just saw Kong the other week (i loooooove puppetry and do some sometimes, so i was dying to see it forever but theatre here is prohibitively expensive) and it is not full of the same death-courting nonsense as…

i hated him in lord of the rings so much that it took about half a season for me not to hate him in fringe. i mean, then i loved him, but i'll always hate his denethor.

is the boomerang necessarily silly? i mean, it doesn't break plausibility.

i know the mysteries aren't exactly the point of the show, and i've forgiven SHERLOCK a lot of very silly explanations for a lot of mysteries. but the belt-stabbing reveal was the first time the show's made me actually laugh out loud at a murder method… i was expecting a "no, don't be daft" secondary reveal, but…

well, to be fair, it's easy to be the better spy when you know everything and the other guy knows nothing and thinks you're long dead.

i had the same experience. i reeeeeaally expected to hate the compulsory annoying sidekick, but he was a highlight.

…you're an artist on Archer?

ay-bed has his algorithms and logic (and pop culture) to deduce what is "good" for his friends, but he's not always on the mark — think about those GPS trackers — and he's especially blind when it comes to troy. he has historically always put his dependency on troy ahead of troy's own good, for example his resistance…

still stony and wooden! but in GOT he's talking dothraki, or heavily laboured "english", so you can't tell how stilted his line readings are. but in that context, he does fine work on the show.

"a little shaky"?? poor taste, man.

no. by that stage, the line of inheritance will already have passed to dan harmon (after joss tried to quip while eating and choked on his sandwich), who went dark for a while but then came back heroically to the light side to continue the fight against the evil and all powerful tv networks.

they can, but they're also rigorously derided until they "prove" themselves (which not many do).

i can't think of any that aren't, off the top of my head…

it's unjust that i can't do any more than like this comment.

the creature that chews broken bottles or the dear old one that learned appropriate speaking volume from her days with the quorn and the pytchley? i daresay each gave young bertram their fair share of grey whiskers.

@avclub-e5b4fef159d90a480b1961cef89a17b7:disqus you wouldn't have much reason to, really. she hasn't done any medium or high profile TV or movies like mandy patinkin or liza minelli, and although she is a HUGE stage star right now, she hasn't been for all that long, except to those very in with the broadway scene. (i…
