I know nothing of putting on anything, but while I was watching the movie, I literally thought to myself, "Huh. Why would anyone ever go see that?" And then I started this whole tangent in my head, where I was like, "Is this how it works in LA? That everyone just goes sees everyone's shit? As like some unspoken social…

I also think it is reasonably possible that he said he didn't remember because he didn't feel like getting into the whole thing at that very moment, just like when people ask me how I'm doing, I just say "Good!" Alec Guinness delivers every line like he's winking anyway, so it worked for me.

The other day, I turned to Olivia Pope from Scandal as a legit reference in a political discussion, because suddenly, Olivia Pope seems to be the completely plausible, grounded, ripped-from-the-headlines leader we need right now.

Everytime he responds like a petulant child to something frivolous, he lends credence to the idea he is actually mentally unstable and unable to do his job.

I am so psyched for this, and it is mostly because of Noah Hawley. What impressed me so much about both seasons of Fargo is no matter how crazy things got, I never felt dicked around as a viewer, and the characters always, always behaved as recognizable humans. They never withheld information for the sake of plot or a…

The only thing that really matters is the vote, but if all of this inspires people to vote (which has been a struggle for Democrats), then it means something. #NastyWoman wasn't enough, but now we are seeing the consequences of that inaction. Hopefully, all of these things combined create some sort of tipping point.…

Gah, just watched! And like I feel I have to pay my respects. Michael and Jane were one of my all time favorite TV couples, and Brett was such a warm and funny presence.

Right? I thought maybe I imagined that, as it's a pretty big reveal. And I'm actually really bummed by it. Mostly because they made the modern move of explaining the musical numbers. Of making it literally in her head because she is literally hallucinating. I don't need that! In a musical, people sing! I've watched…

I just can't buy these theories about him. I honestly, truly don't think he thinks more than one second ahead of him at any moment. I think his primary motivation is to feel awesome about himself at all times, and he literally does whatever will achieve that, until it stops feeling good, and then he does another…

Good for that guy! I wish him well!

I'm not against this on principle. I think there are a couple of different spins you can put on the original story that the film didn't touch on. It could have more of a satirical bent, or be a political allegory, or even a kind of Twilight Zone sort of tale about the hubris of man. There's enough meat for two…

And those same whiny, petulant, vindictive, totally unqualified, overgrown babies will be the first to tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Never mind that they are standing on them. Just pull harder!

Every Nintendo innovation since the Power Pad and that freaking robot are solid ideas that never go anywhere, because they don't bother to put out games for them. They have some great titles at launch (Mario Kart 8 is how I was duped), and then just putter out.

I read it for the first time a couple of years ago, and it instantly became one of my favorites. What struck me about it, is that it is essentially a Zombie Apocalypse story. A band of survivors, roving the country side, encountering various pocket societies who have developed their own weird rules, codes and coping…

If I had a silly little Facebook "heart" option, I would have given you the upgrade. Well said.

Is Ewan McGregor a good actor? I honestly don't know, and I think I've seen most of his work.

Yes, call me an Idiot Fangirl or whatever, but getting to see Darth Vader go absolutely shit house in his "final form" was worth it alone. I had such a huge grin on my face during that, which kind of made me feel like a sicko a little, but I did.

I know I had to double check to make sure it didn't. Seems like an oversight on both of their parts.

It sounds like it would have been neat for the Coen Brothers to tackle this. With the exact same cast.

O'NEAL! Yes, yes, yes on Kavalier & Clay! That stuck with me more than anything else in that book because of how wrong it is. And how sure of himself Sammy is. Like he is downright judgmental. People are super confident about wrong shit all the time, but somehow that one felt like a betrayal.
