Yeah, the way Healy was handled is really impressive. You see his awfulness shine through early on (his whole bit about wanting to separate the "butch" women? ew), but as a viewer you're able to ignore it because he's one of the few allies Piper has initially, so I brushed it off as "oh he's just really rough around…

The 10-year-old Star Trek: Voyager fanboy in me is really weirdly excited for this part of the show.

You mean Revue?

@avclub-9b60cf1b2106f886f17cba2b1a0359b9:disqus I RTed that the second I saw it, though the very first tweet is another good spin on it: "She wears short skirts / I wear t-shirts / Neither of us is asking for it"

One of the things I've come to realize that I really liked about the Star Trek franchise as a whole was that there was almost always room for varying tones and episodes, in a way that most shows have never had. You could have a straight-up action episode, a character study episode, political parables, a goofy mostly…

"(loved that their solution to her incompetence was promoting her as far as possible)"
Red Letter Media (Same guy behind the feature-length takedown of each Star Wars prequel) had a funny mention of this as well in his 39 minute takedown of Nemesis: http://www.youtube.com/watc… (0:22-0:52).

I first started watching Voyager in Season 3 when I was 6 and had seen a lot of TNG through reruns and episodes my ad recorded. Future's End was my first episode and I fell in love with the show, watching it to the very end with great investment.

Hopefully the commercial, critical and awards success of A Separation will make whatever studio that picks it up (Probably Sony Classics?) eager to release it before the end of the year. And the reactions overall have been super-strong, so we probably have our first big jury award contender, which will only help it.

Slate interviewed the programming chief about it in January about it, and it's addressed in her first answer: http://www.slate.com/blogs/…

I know PBS isn't reliant on ratings, but the four-month wait is just ridiculous and a horribly outdated method of TV airing. Their reasoning in the past has been that they don't want to get lost in the broadcast networks airing their new shows, but again, that's pretty outdated thinking as well (Especially when…

I haven't watched since season five, but I imagine anyone still watching the show would at least be comforted by the headline saying that YES, THEY FOR REALSIES REVEALED THE MOTHER NOT ANOTHER FAKEOUT THANK GOD.

Also, I wish the video was still around (YouTube took it down), but his "At the Movies" review for The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc featured an incredible fight with
Joyce Kulhawik (Who LOVED the film) that gave us this glorious screen-cap: http://awardsdailyforums.co…

His Transformers 2 reviews featuresone of my all-time favorite beatdown lines from him: "if you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together." Perfectly captures how so many modern actioners feel to me.

I just learned that my dad's been watching this online a few days ago, but that's entirely because he wanted to share the wit of a Galaxy Quest in-joke and a big Home Improvement in-joke with Jonathan Taylor Thomas's guest appearance. Nothing he said about the show hinted at all of this, which considering how much…

All three of McConaughey's movies from last year were actually really, really good in their own ways, I thought (Or the three I saw; I deliberately missed The Paperboy), and McConaughey was great in all of them. What's really awesome about that is that they really were all different roles; granted, they were all kinda…

It's funny how three years ago this news probably would've gotten a groan from most people, but now this is actually a really exciting development.

I've been anticipating this since I watched the first two on back-to-back nights eight years ago. Star Wars Episode VII has got nuthin' on this.

Both the previous movies were R?

I never got the hate for Matrix Reloaded. Like, it's far from perfect, but I feel like a lot of the backlash against it was four years of endless hype just not being lived up to. It's mostly solid, and the action sequences are absolutely incredible.

It's probably gonna be a long while before another Newswire article breaks this story's record number  usage of the word penis. And that's probably a good thing.
