Doesn't the headline of this piece imply that The Following does in fact have something to say about violence, or that it's trying to say something about violence? Because I seriously doubt that kind of higher-level thinking has been put into the show.

CCH Pounder on FX playing a character named Claudette? Awesome!

whaaaaaaaaaaaat is Pilot's mom commenting on her Black-ish reviews

On a not-really-related note, I've started choosing my typical end-of-the-night Classic Simpsons episode by using the FXNOW app on my Roku, then hitting "random episode" until I get something in the first 9 seasons. Anyone else do anything like this? Beats thinking about it!

Rebecca Creek is a brand of whiskey. That's close.

…Well, you all know what excitement sounds like.

As long as "winning a national election" isn't one of those things.

No, I pretty much agree with you. Bart seems to go much further here than is typical for him— injuring himself?!— and it's played for serious consequences, not laughs.

Actually, a surprising number of these are real (the Medium article details them). #4 in particular I'm still struggling to believe.

I mean, he was 68 when he took office. That's like 195 in modern years. If the people didn't want their president to die in office, they shouldn't have elected the two-hundred-year-old man.

First one's good, the rest suck.

It now occurs to me that "Looks like I've taught you my last lesson" is more akin to something George Sr. would have said.

The first Wayne's World was shockingly meta for a movie in 1991. That's part of the reason I still enjoy it. The corporate-sponsor stuff cracks me up, as does "Aren't we lucky that security guard had all that information? It seemed extraneous at the time."

That about tracks with my recollection. I loved the first Austin Powers and think it still holds up. I was such a fan that in high school I talked my dad into taking me to see the second one on one of the weekends he visited, and afterward apologized for doing so.

Stuart Saves His Family isn't a bad film, but it's not really a comedy at all.
