For the most part almost every modern remake of classic horror movies (with the exception of Carpenter's The Thing) just reminds me why the original actors and actresses made these roles classics. For example, who is the better …

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates
Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley

Remember when Kevin Costner wanted to remake Casablanca? I can't imagine anyone other than Humphrey Bogart saying, "of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

Wasn't there a scene in Fellowship of the Rings with Tom Bombadil saving the hobbits from some hobbit-eating tree? Maybe this is an insufferable-lactose-intolerance-Christian eating tree?

Life of Brian, of course. "He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy! Now, piss off!"

At what point does Pontius Pilate say, "I have a vewy gweat fwiend in Wome called Biggus Dickus" …?

Jesus has always had the same shoulder length hippy hair his entire life? Is he like Goku and Vegeta where his hair never actually changes length despite aging?

"He’s drama personified."

Hell, who wouldn't kill a man for a tampon … accidentally …

"Three white men playing reggae, it doesn't get better than that" —- Tony Reason on why The Police are better than Bob Marley, Noel Fielding Luxury Comedy.

They were living at a time when ripping off black musicians and getting paid for it was called "folk music" and like peter, paul and mary, no one batted an eye when they did it. That doesn't make a person well-intentioned, it just means there wasn't anyone around calling them out on it.

What white person in 1960s America wasn't racist? Their song, Coplas, is a perfect example —- not only do you get to hear one of them with a Speedy Gonzales voice throughout ("si, sen-or") but they also do a very cringe-worthy Japanese voice:

Empire is destroyed, and People Against Goodness and Normalcy (sorry, I mean the First Order) are the survivors who mount their own rebellion … which means that they're the new rebels? But unlike the old rebels, First Order apparently had the Emperor's ATM pin number because they're able to build Star Killer, which…

—-Finn is a sanitation worker. Why is he being sent out onto the battlefield in the first place?
—-Finn, also, we are told, has been brain-washed since he was a child to follow the First Order … and yet he's allowed to meet General Leia without anyone asking who he is, because …?
—-Rey can speak Wookie, but neither Han…

How passive-aggressive of a douche is Luke? First he abandons his sister and the Resistance right when a new threat has risen, and then leaves obnoxious hints and bits of maps so that his friends have to spend literally years and who knows how many resources simply to find him. But why? It isn't like they needed him…

Was it ever explained how Solo lost the Millennium Falcon or how they suddenly find it again? Rey and Finn are in space for less than 45 seconds before Han and Chewie find them. How did they get there so quickly? Why couldn't they detect the Falcon while it was rusting away for all those decades on the planet that…

In the same way Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize simply by not being Bush, Abrams is getting a lot of credit simply by not being Lucas. And yet, I feel I've seen this movie before.

Yes, I've read that response often enough, it's not lost on me. So, at what point does the term, "being the most pissed off rapper" become entirely ironic? And if so, shouldn't AV Club comment on it?

Dear Zack Handlen: please stop while you're ahead. The problem with reviewing this show, years after the fact, is that when you write lines like, "Watching people endure misery is one thing; watching them mired in their grief for days, weeks, and even years after is another," can only be ascribed to the viewers, not…

Love this. … "if The Cylons were revealed to be bumbling and wishy-washy and inept" … which, in the end, sums up Moore to a T.
