    I mean, the second I saw the headline "one of the original X-Men," I was like, "okay, so Angel or Iceman, because who gives a fuck about them," and it's not like Angel being gay would be any less of a stereotype.

    That looks like a smile-for-the-cameras-if-you-want-to-see-your-dog-alive-again scenario.

    This movie was actually a big deal for me growing up. It was the first time I realized that a movie that consisted of little more than characters hanging out and talking could be interesting. It might have been the first time I'd seen a movie like that- everything else had some sort of determinant plot driving it, or

    Well, I do get a bit giggly and racist after a few glasses of wine…

    I said this above, but have the show start just as filming has begun on a "gritty cinematic reboot" of the Galaxy Quest universe- kind of like if the Star Trek reboot had gone the Into Darkness route on its first movie. The crew of the new show gets kidnapped the same way as before, for slightly different reasons,

    Yeah, The Santa Clause 2 was woefully underrated.

    Really? I'd say there's a couple different ways they could go- either the cast actually goes to space full-time, while trying to deal with the quirks the aliens built into their ship from the "historical documents" (a pilot-episode gag would be that the aliens are perfectly capable of creating a ship that doesn't

    Well, it's difficult to start a fictional universe from scratch in today's risk-averse world, but maybe there's some fondly-remembered intellectual property from the 90s that's close enough to Star Trek and doesn't contain those racial stereotypes that they could use instead.

    It would be great if it's revealed that Galaxy Quest was a hacky Star Trek rip-off that nevertheless garnered a dedicated audience, and the Star Trek cast always kind of looked down on the Galaxy Quest cast. Think Extras, only the protagonist's smarmy arch-enemy is played by Patrick Stewart.

    I'm wondering if trans characters would even be a big deal in the Star Trek universe. Presumably medical technology has advanced to the point where they can engineer a complete biological switch for someone at any age in a fairly short amount of time. It would probably realistically amount to a character making an

    OH SHIT IT'S THE SAME GUY. OH SHIT OH SHIT THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

    Thanks to this and the following few comments, Yahoo Screen execs are high-fiving right now. I hope you're all happy.

    If you time your thrusts to the bass line in "The National Anthem," you will almost certainly be kicked out of bed, but let's face it, that was going to happen anyway.

    Sally was already plenty pissed off at her two other friends, who couldn't stop staring at Don and giggling at everything he said. Having all your friends of each gender want to fuck your parents… let it be said, and not for the first time, that Sally Draper has not had the easiest life.

    If the New Yorker staff really talked like Wodehouse characters, I would hope they'd be able to pick out good writing more consistently.

    I'm sure the publication of this book has already drawn protests from the editorial staff of The New Yorker.

    If anything, this proves that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is real.

    Wait, seriously? I'll give you Hardwick, but Fallon is totally the hyper-ADD kid that the football team adopts as an unofficial mascot because he tries really hard to make them laugh all the time.

    Yeah, by the time Barsanti started in with how the writer says he's going to be in trouble, but if you read his tweet really closely, you can tell he doesn't truly believe it in his heart of hearts, he seemed to be taking an odd degree of offense at the comments. Then again, I think it's weird when people criticize

    I agree character motivation for this episode is all over the place, but it was worth it to get to the scene where members of the Save Greendale committee are pinning Fat Neil to his chair while a hacky comedian tries to make fun of him for being fat, while wishing there were more black or Jewish audience members he
