High School USA is actually very reminiscent of The Ben Stiller Show spoof, Melrose Heights 90210-2402, where you had young adults (Bob Odenkirk in black leather with a mustache) facing bland plots and having silly breakdowns until a closing musical number. As Dino Stamatopoulos was a writer on The Ben Stiller Show…

And he was also Warthog Bat Man in Axe Cop.

Axe Cop is to cop cartoons what Drunk History is to historical documentaries. You have to be aware of the premise for it to work.

Newsreaders was ultimately disappointing. One of the greatest assets of Childrens Hospital is that they can do callbacks, switch relationships between two episodes, but that the actors behind the show, the ones who get the "behind the scenes" or the "newreaders" spotlight are supposed to be real.
Newsreaders had a…

Exactly. With the establishing shot, you know that the facility is very wide and when they have to split, you know they really have to do it, not that the script just needed a convenient reason to get them apart, so one of them could be assaulted.

It's much easier than that, and the show dropped clues at a fast rate.
The killer is into underage prostitutes, rings have a big importance to him, and he mysteriously stopped killing three years ago before resuming his criminal activities in the past few weeks. He got some authority, as he had cops plant evidence in…

To The Wonder.

When we see Vendata out of his armor, his face is shaped like the Monarch's.

In the documentary that goes with The Meaning of Life, Eric Idle explains that he and Julian Doyle, who edited the movie, had the idea to put his wandering segment during the end credits, and that everybody else thought it would be great, but they were too late in production to do it, so they kept it in the middle.

"The no-bullet theory"

"I'm into trains…"

I also watched all of it, so other people don't have to watch it to reply to you.

@avclub-3939e1a6347fb39e7ad765f88bf33a14:disqus  Brotherhood of the Wolf was a StudioCanal effort, and the way they found to put themselves out of the gutter. For weeks, before its release, you couldn't hear about any other film in France.

Well, let's never forget the immortal words of Milo Perrier (James Coco) the Hercule Poirot stand-in in Murder by Death:
"I'm not a Frenchie… I'm a Belgie!"

I would put The Flower of My Secret above All About My Mother because I like to be in the minority, but almost every film since Pedro Almodovar dropped the "Pedro" for his directing credit feels a little too neat, a little too much on the safe side, more or less like the idea of what mainstream audiences would like to…

My personal recollection of the Cannes 1999 festival.

Stamp's work with Pasolini and Fellini is well documented elsewhere, so there may not be any need to cover it up systematically, especially in a Random Roles list. I was actually curious to see if Stamp had seen the Superman reboot and I had totally forgotten he was in the Phantom Menace. So, his take was interesting…

Additionally, the joke about "The Fakeblock" isn't just about Maeby being clueless about computers, it's a callback to "The Social Network" starring Jesse Eisenberg (who was until that movie the guy who looks just like Michael Cera), where Mark Zuckerberg actually drops the article from "The Facebook", which was the…

@avclub-c70194b792ea062c5365b619fd3050b3:disqus They address his coming-out in the sequels, and he explains that it was a scheme to get more pussy as women offer themselves to make him straight.

His performance in Toby Dammit is even more impressive given that he was a last minute replacement for Peter O'Toole, who backed out of the part.
For maximum effect, see Toby Dammit just after Jacques Tati's Play Time. The two films are both sides of the same coin, and Fellini most likely took inspiration from Tati…
