Well, there was something earlier this season where everyone in town tried to go after Regina and she basically said, "screw you all, I've got magic, bitches!"  She later sort of tried to say she was sorry, but the moment they thought (with very good reason) that she'd killed again, she pretty much did the same thing…

10 to 1 the judge turns out to be King Solomon.

@Scrawler2:disqus It's probably not that hard to just start watching, honestly.  I started watching it last season and have never gotten around to seeing the first two seasons, and yet there wasn't too much of a learning curve.  See, there's this extended family.  And they've got issues.  But they're also perfect. And…

Vestal Virgins?

I'm kind of embarrassed at how ridiculously obscure this is (ugh, don't want to be that guy), but for like the past fifteen years I've been wanting to get a copy of a Slovenian movie I saw at the Chicago International Film Festival in like 1998.  The English title was "Gone with the Train" (I think the original title…

I typed it exactly as "DYKES!" was typed in the original post to demonstrate precisely how offensive it was.  That you were offended by my mere use of the word proves my point.  I'm more than happy for my comment to be deleted - along with the original comment.

@avclub-318cd56c57eb85c4a28f7740422fe707:disqus Yeah, I am pretty sure it's "must change or die, and makes his choice."  Of course, there's an interesting ambiguity there—Morpheus both changes and dies.  He changes by dying.  It's like he chose a third way that involved both of the others.

As much as I hate replying to an obviously sarcastic, borderline trolling post… It isn't that Cumberbatch is right for all roles; I wouldn't want to see him in most stuff.  But, he's shown with Sherlock that he can do the emotional detachment/"I think of the rest of you as ants" thing that would be so necessary for…

I'm waiting for a revival of the Grape Ape.

It's a thing.

I'm also partial to "Northshore."

@avclub-1881baeccb7399f3452cd7f37cdb2b29:disqus It's one of those terms that can, in very precise situations, be used in a positive, "taking it back" sort of way.  This was not one of those situations.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the roller rink near my house played strictly top 40; maybe some slightly older top 40 was mixed in to the latest hits, but it clearly pandered to the tween crowd.

Don't be depressed.  They basically said in various interviews that they wanted to make a pop album because they wanted to make a pop album.  They've also made clear this isn't a new "sell out" stage of their career and that pretty much all of their prior albums (with the exception of Sainthood) have been fairly…

I saw an interview with them recently (Rolling Stone?  Spin?  Some other news outlet?) in which they sort of obliquely referenced the fact that they have different musical styles and that this record was basically Sara getting to have her pop album.  I'm hoping the next record is more Tegan post punk-inspired…

Sara has a thinner, more angular face. Tegan has more tattoos.

@avclub-2699a553580f039ce51cb742ed676ad2:disqus Didn't mean to say it was restricted to in-network, just that it's become more common in recent years for shows (esp. smaller shows like Parenthood) to stay in the same corporate family.

@avclub-2699a553580f039ce51cb742ed676ad2:disqus On the bright side, Global puts it online Wednesday, so you can stream it before they air it.  Of course, they've been filling the ad slots with ads for a new episode of Parenthood on Friday (i.e., the episode you are watching right at that moment), so it's pretty much a…

Or, hell, what would Natalie Portman do?
