If anyone doesn't think Eden Sher isn't still a comedy goddess some 8 years into "The Middle," I give you the opener of this week's episode, with Sue reacting to Axel getting married. Sher going into paroxysms of rage—completely in character—was a laugh-out-loud comedic wonder.

Well, that did indeed describe Monica. She never gave a damn about anyone else, but as Sinatra would say, She Did It Her Way.

I sense some of that meth will be planted at the Alibi, and Svetlana will be hauled away by the cops and possibly deported.

OK, haven't seen "Jackie" "La La Land" "Fences" "Hidden Figures" "20th Century Women" yet, but here were a bunch that I gave 4 stars or more on Rotten Tomatoes (in no particular order):

I just…wasn't sure it was a comedy. It was actually so bleak in its anti-religion nihilism, I couldn't enjoy most of it, though as a treatise on atheism it was fascinating. (OK, the orgy at the end had some yuks.) Even my 15-year-old nephew was thrown by it.

This movie kills off HOW MANY kids and the audience wanted more?!?! There are some messed-up people out there.

Seriously. "The Witness" "Life, Animated" and "The Beatles: Eight Days A Week" would be on my short list, but "OJ: Made in America" and "The 13th" are supposed to be amazing, too.

The moment that involves Michelle Williams at her pinnacle of hysteria. Thought the movie pulled some of its dramatic punches more than I would've liked, but Williams in that scene (and her next-to-last one with Affleck) and Affleck in the police station were gut-wrenchers.

Right with you on "Pete's Dragon," and though I think "Zootopia" is a stronger movie (gripping plot, hysterical jokes, topical sociological commentary), I agree "Moana" is the most visually stunning animated film—sorry "Kubo."

Fair point, but that just made the 1990 releases of "House Party" and "Pump Up the Volume" that much more landmark, as they pointed the way towards a new, more inclusive youth society (and teen movie). I just can't believe how superficial (though still funny) "Sixteen Candles" seems now, compared with something like…

Odds are, only around one out of three would now be considered to be truly the "best" of its respective year—the occasional "Amadeus" "Casablanca" or "schindler's List" notwithstanding.

I always found it suspect that that little storm about "The Alien" just HAPPENED to stir up right as an Indian-themed film was "E.T."'s #1 competitor at the Oscars that year. (Coincidence? The producers of "Crash" all suing each other was hushed up until after the 2006 Oscars, too—another blatant injustice.)

God bless you, Melissa—you changed a 15-year-old kid's life more than you can know. Thank you.

There was this very weird "Electric Company" episode involving the Cream Pie Maniac, someone who ran around hitting people with pies. I just remember Rita Moreno running around getting completely hysterical screaming, and then getting pied in the face, and people are trying to talk to her to find out what happened…

"We had a time." "A short time." "A nice time." Lovely and heartbreaking.

And I can personally confirm: that kiss-pouring-champagne-into-someone else's mouth? Totally works. (He looked like Dylan McDermott, too—totally out of my league, but that champagne bit got us a very enjoyable night/morning together.)

Okay, really stepping on thin ice here, but…."Mary Poppins" would make a hell of a miniseries, or regular series. There's so much in the 4-5 books that PL Travers wrote that didn't make it in the movie (though some of it, interestingly, turned up in the Broadway stage musical), people have no idea.

Did the show ever say in the last couple episodes that Celia finally succumbed to cancer? It would've made sense, but I did miss Elizabeth Perkins.

I think that was a not-so-subtle way of cluing us into her vices, specifically an oral fixation—she may not have been a pothead, but she was certainly no nun.

Kael is also a major critic who disliked Kubrick, so there you go. (It might have to do with the fact that she's a woman, and there are very few well-rounded female characters in Kubrick movies.)
