in that photo, it's because kermit and fozzie are both engaging with something (look at their eyeline — they are looking directly at handler and thus visually interacting with her in the still) but denise is staring off into the distance. it's not really "her" fault… i haven't seen the episode, so it's possible she…

sneaky pete.

no way! he has stubble!

where was the reference in Ultron?

if she didn't have such an unambiguously excellent influence on all her friends' lives, you'd definitely have a point. but i can take the pushy meddleomaniac if it's a force for good.

i love how casually everyone accepted that. how the earth-1 gang isn't lining up to go holiday in the much, much cooler earth-2 (and bring back some sweet earth-2 tech) escapes me.

i wouldn't say she's THAT overly controlling, though. i mean, when she's not having one of her "episodes" anyway. look at her relationship with ben in season 7 — incredibly supportive, and she seems to have gotten all the absurd control games out of her system. she gets carried away, but she really is more interested…

there's so much this show is doing right that when it does an episode like this all my little quibbles seem petty. i mean, its commitment to its source is incredible. gorilla-fucking-city.

my birthday is the day before. happy birthday gwahir, love SNL.

i am definitely cool with that. i'm alright, but she'd do a better job.

having actually done a weekly sketch show a few years ago — writing and performing an hour of comedy sketches every week, around my day job, with no budget or support staff (aside from the other three writer-performers) — there's always going to be bullshit. you just have to get the stuff out on time.

there are occasions one can't find a simpsons quote for?? me fail at simpsons quoting? that's… inconceivable.

…so to speak.

don't forget that the BTAS theme takes heavily from the danny elfman theme to tim burton's batman.

that's genuinely hilarious.

what was the thing with the cups? everyone keeps going on about this big fuss but i have literally no idea what they're on about. but i'm not american, so.

"I see a lot of people arguing very right-wing or anti-feminist points on the internet on a regular basis, but I have never in my life seen any person or group argue that nonsense point about "legitimate rape" since the one guy who made the phrase famous. I've literally seen more people argue in favour of the…

a media friend of mine has seen the first ten minutes and assures me, as the second biggest pixar fan i know (being the first myself) that we are in for another winner.

oh we excommunicated him. he's now using the word "jew" illegally. our top lawyers are on it.

godawful novel by legendarily terrible person ayn "greed is good" rand, a ghastly polemic about a visionary called john galt; really a manual on rand's philosophy objectivism, which preaches selfishness and "objective" merit as the way to get ahead, and suggests that in a real free world and free market, by looking…
