This show disproves the idea that you can't ruin a TV/movie with casting if the actors are sufficiently talented. Everyone but Siff is completely wrong for the role. Virtually any female member of SAG would be better cast than Akerman, who's been great in so much other stuff that she's tough to watch.

Agreed, and yet he's better than Jimmy and Winn. (Of course, the actor has home field advantage so to speak.)

It feels like this was designed for the first two X-Files because I've never heard of a two episode arc before.

As I watched Supergirl last night, I noticed that it shares a problem with Grease in that it lurches from plot point to plot point like a Disney ride that doesn't work.

Caddy, paperboy, Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at his rear end.

I still get screeners from TNT despite not being in the industry.

If they just got rid of Amberle, we could have a gender switched Romancing the Stone, which may not be great but would be better than what we're getting.

This is a teen LoTR. A teen GoT would be much more likely to be succeed IMO, because that takes a lot of cues from soap opera conventions like most teen dramas.

Half the characters' sole reason for existence is to be wrong about everything.

At least this is a Showtime show that was terrible before the first renewal. They're more efficient now.

I wanted one of the old WASPs to turn to the other mid-speech and stage whisper "Check the Playbill to see if there's an intermission."

Hollywood's refusing to take "no" for an answer on this Tom Ellis thing.

An advantage the British version has is that even slight differences in class are very sharp. That drives a great deal of the UK show, and even when you peel away the fact that the USA papers over its class distinctions, that's not enough for 10 episode TV show.

I disagree with this hypothesis. AV Club gives negative reviews in spite of acting/dialogue all the time. Just read the HTGAWM weekly reviews among many others. There's no secret agenda.

I feel the opposite. Efron's people should trawl through Alain Delon movies for a possible remake.

The irony is that Chu went to Hasbro in 2009 to convince them to let him do a Jem movie and had to wait 6 years for the funding from Blumhouse. Last year's movie was a passion project.

Was the Professor's son listening to Lip bang his mother? I'd be more upset about that than he was.

Putting aside the politics of this, the biggest problem with this movie is there are no character arcs. They start off as the smartest, bravest, and toughest, and they end the movie that way. There was never any doubt that they'd "Do The Right Thing." It's dramatically inert. Even the Alamo story is better, because…

Oh, there's definitely a sexism element to the Razzies, and they are interested in big, splashy names. That said, they take pretty big swings at lowbrow comedy which skews male.

Miles Teller was SNUBBED for Fantastic Four. I'm outraged.
Also, Dakota Johnson doesn't deserve a nomination.
