Amanda Waller's presence might have been an effort to lay groundwork for future, non-GL movies.

Joan Severance is in it, which is nice.

I would have thought this was about pooping. Welp, live and learn.

This might be enough to get me to watch another Jenji Kohan series, despite the later seasons of Weeds.

In my case, I found that once I was past about 30 I just could not eat McDonald's and without feeling queasy afterward. It's basically the lowest-quality fast food burger you can get; even Burger King is a notch or two above it.

I ate a Big Mac for the first time in five or so years a couple of weeks ago. It was less gross than I'd expected.

Mrs. Pontifex called it.

Those bits reminded me of the (not online, iirc) Onion story by Ralph Malph about the bizarre laughter he keeps hearing, and his fears that he isn't real.

Candidate health is a legitimate issue, but that's why candidates should release their medical records and after that it's up to the voters. What's nuts is that a candidate is spending time answering conspiracy theories about her health, which mainly seem to come down to "BUT SHE LOOKS LIKE A 68-YEAR OLD WOMAN!!!1"

I'm still bummed that MI-5 left a few BBC deals ago and hasn't returned.

By Season 5 of IT Crowd, I presume they mean the finale special?

Obama is by any measure the best president of my lifetime (I'm in my 40s), and I doubt I'll live to see him surpassed.

Dunk-a-doo-balls.

Why is that surprising? Does anyone here know anything about Heard other than what she looks like and what we read at the AV Club?

"Dammit Butt-head, I am a firework. I am an M-80!"

I will be very disappointed if Death is not in fact a luminous Virginia Madsen.

There's a nice essay somewhere online that says, you take a young Shakespearean actor whose training took place just as tv was becoming ubiquitous, and put him on a soundstage and tell him to play his evil self fighting his good self, or read the Preamble to the Constitution, or give the "risk is our business" speech,…

Star Trek IV, when I saw it in the theater, was the fun one with the whales in it. Thirty years on, I can see what a remarkably off-kilter delight of a movie it is, while it also delves into themes of reunions, friendship, and families. I'm not sure Kirk and Nimoy were ever better than they were banging around San…

I just saw Star Trek Beyond this week, and realized you can just skip from the 2009 movie to Beyond and lose, basically, nothing worthwhile.

That may be the most ecstatically joyful movie ever made.
