Bundy
Between the MWC clan and co-ed huntin' Ted, it's pretty hard to take anyone with that name seriously. This isn't helping.

At an old job it was our turn to host the all-company meeting, and being the movies/TV division, had to find a "star" to display. As the good options didn't work out for equally good reasons, we found ourselves settling on Jim Belushi, only for us to back out at the last minute having learned he was "problematic" to…

Sure; in real life identical twins don't work like that. But this is TV - most things don't actually work like that, and to make it realistic, it would require an incredible amount of effort, subterfuge, deception and ruthlessness to get away with passing off as one's twin - not the sort of thing we tend to like in…

As long as international audiences have apparently the same lack of taste as local metroplex zombies, scripts and acting and narrative flow are for things given limited releases in December as Oscar-bait. 'Splosions, slapstick, PG-13 sex and fart jokes are where the money is.

Well, most of those budgets are paying people to do things that most audiences won't pay attention to anyway (the credit list for Beast's fur in XMFC was epic), pointless location shooting costs, CGI nipples and equally stupid stuff. Stupid stuff that… creates jobs, actually. Someone has to work in this country, and…

It always does seem bizarre that actors can't be bothered to spend a few hours watching what they're remaking. I can see if you're just auditioning for dozens of parts (though wouldn't that help you land the role?), but once you have actually landed it, it has to be more than being really busy? Though you also hear…

Gilligan's Planet?

Kidnapped by terrorists named Porter?
Sold!

Danny McBride - the Drinking Man's Michael Cera?
He seems to have the ability to constantly get work, even though his movies underperform in every way. Even the efforts that are well-reviewed (Youth In Revolt, Scott Pilgrim, Pineapple Express) go nowhere, and they both have a whole lot of dogs in the yard. But you…

I always liked how pointless The Chase's answer was.
It may be the biggest secret of humanity - its true origin and purpose - yet there was never any follow-up or even the slightest hint that it made any difference beyond making a Romulan feel momentary philosophic. It condemns both religion and (pure) science as…

Stone is the Lohan we all wanted, but didn't deserve.

If recent history has taught me nothing (and it hasn't), superhero TV shows are a can't miss proposition! Nothing could possiblie go wrong!

George Costanza and anyone
I'd always accepted that it was part of the joke, but what does George offer anyone? It's not like he's a fixer-upper, or supportive or even a doormat (as he's just too unstable and fidgety). He's like that Far Side comic: how nature says "Do not touch".

Burton's movie was kind of great in how consistently stupid it was. It had the great "luckily Cub has only 8 guys in it" feel, the science would give a young earther pause, things seemed to happen just because scenes have to be, you know, different and the ending wouldn't pass muster in a group of ADHD 1st graders.…

My favorite part of Deep Blue Sea was they claimed they needed really big sharks so they could harvest a lot of the magic drugs instead of, oh, I dunno, larger numbers of smaller, less dangerous sharks (or as most people know, the huge nurse sharks that aren't dangerous at all). Sure, they could've said that only huge…

So something that should be taught in schools, rather than consumed as mere entertainment? But I guess as long as you know that's what you're getting, it's often nice to be exposed to new, if unsatisfying, new things.

Perhaps my streaming is is so mainstream that I've been benefiting from the highest quality they have to offer, but the quality has been consistently high for my use. I think the only time in recent months where I've found reduced quality versus disc was, of all things, Red Zone Cuba. YMMV, clearly.

I dunno - she seems too friendly-looking
I figured Asha as more hot biker-chick.

His ability to get films completed, printed and (somehow) exhibited is admirable. But the actual content is at best poor, at worst boring and displayed very little skill or coherent vision. He's like that fat, dumb, unpopular kid in high school who has somehow managed to get a job selling real estate and has six kids.…

I have no problem believing that based on connection speed, playing device and selection, playback quality can vary. But in my experience (almost always HD, on X360, older 1080i TV), streaming quality is better than DVD 95% of the time. Saying "can be worse" or is "consistently worse for people in certain situations"…
