I'd completely forgotten about that until you mentioned it! I also fully expected Nicholson to take the trophy and nearly fell off the couch when Hurt's name was called. It was several years later that I finally saw Kiss of the Spider Woman (I was 15 in 1985) and it was immediately clear that Hurt deserved that…

I'll be there, and maybe someday soon my 19-year-old self will begin to heal.

Yes, because when I think of "greatest generation" propaganda I immediately think of an American G.I. losing a knife fight and getting slowly stabbed to death while a second G.I. who could've saved him cowardly runs away and cries. It's the feel-good movie of the summer.

YES. When she presented Best Actor (I forgot the year) and opened the envelope, saw that it was Denzel Washington and said "I love my life," I wanted to punch her in the goddamn face. Just say "Denzel Washington" and get the fuck out of the way!

Hang on, hang on. Someone intentionally named their son Edward Edwards?

Thank god, indeed. My wife kept talking about a "song that sounds like a choo choo train," and I couldn't figure out what she meant until Blurred Lines came on—when he sings, "But you're a good girl," the 'good girl' part modulates in tone similar to a train whistle. The song is so bad it gets compared to really…

I understand your anger, but I never thought the show presented the Mother as a MacGuffin. She's clearly Ted's soulmate in a way Robin could never be, and the show presented her as such from the minute Ted walked into her bedroom in Season 4(?) and realized they loved all the same stuff. We only get fleeting…

It's not really the finale that's bad. It's that the entire season leading up to it was set in the 3 days leading up to Barney and Robin's wedding. So even with a longer-than-normal final episode, the writers had to have that massive buildup pay off with Barney and Robin happily married and then split them up in the…

Fuck yeah—Tori Welles, Racquel Darrian, Barbara Dare, Aja…

I agree. I wish they'd been able to carry through fully on their original idea, which was to have the movie be about young Kyle Reese developing a relationship with a good terminator (Sam Worthington) as a reflection of T2. John Connor was barely in it. Then Bale came on board and they just had to expand the role…

I really liked the ending of Rise of the Machines. There's the kick in the pants as you realize the bunker they've been told to go to does NOT have the key to defeating Skynet, it's just an old bunker with a ton of communications equipment in it. Then, even before Connor realizes it, it dawns on the viewer that this…

The answer is Hanna-Barbera cartoons were hot.

Sold!

Oooooh. I'm there.

The Gods of Hollywood book reveals that they shot 2 Superbowl ads, a short and a long version. They knew the short version wasn't that great—it was basically just Carter fighting the giant ape—and were praying that they'd be able to show the long version. But when it came time for ad number 126 (or whatever their…

Exactly this; I don't know why he'd refer to Psych as a cult show when it got better ratings than Galavant! Even in its last season,when the numbers had fallen considerably, it would get a .08 share, which is better than what Galavant is getting (sadly).

First thing I saw him in was the recurring character Eli on Xena Warrior Princess. Guy's got an eclectic resume. Pic: https://duckduckgo.com/i/cc…

I wouldn't *judge* you, but I would party with you.

Ha! Came here to post the same thing—Becca James is 12!?

I think it was Walt Disney who said, "If you can dream it, you can do it."
