Basically everything Owen Maestro does is based on kid logic. He's an adult child, extremely naive and gullible.
The guy was beaten every day by a seven year old, he has echoes of his molestation by a "ghost" and he assumed he was stuck in a time loop.
Glenn is more and more motivated by bragging and smugness, while the…

Ken Marino has been directing two new seasons of Burning Love in addition to developing and selling several projects with his wife, Erica Oyama.
Malin Akerman was pregnant and has a new show this fall on ABC, Trophy Wife.
Henry Winkler had Arrested Development.
Megan Mullally has completed a film with Jeffrey Tambor,…

TMWTGG is unmitigated crap.
Just take the script. Basically half of it is just filler. The mission could have been over after just one hour if Goodnight hadn't tried for no real good reason to spy the car outside the arena, as she had the McGuffin device in her purse.
After the climax of the entire film, with the…

"Favorite" moments in A View to a Kill:
- the P.I. is named Eggplant in French
- the comical routine between Moore and Macnee with the "hilarious" tapes
- the first half of the film is about the performance enhancement of a fucking horse
- the absolute lack of chemistry between Moore and Tanya Roberts
- the absolute lack…

Superman III suffered from the aftermath of Richard Donner's firing during the shooting of Superman II. Gene Hackman and Margot Kidder were highly critical of the decision by the Salkinds.
Hackman refused to work with them again (he returned for Superman IV, which was a Golan-Globus production), so they had to create a…

Sudden Impact was intended to be a stand-alone movie starring Eastwood as a cop, similar to Tightrope, but his "vanity" project Honky Tonk Man had lost a ton of money and it reportedly cost Eastwood his dedicated parking place at Warners, so he had to agree to do another Dirty Harry entry. He then asked his usual…

The Killing finale had better ratings than last year's. With a few other factors, it makes a renewal actually likely.
Anyway, I'm not sure it will land on a many best shows of the year list. The show was incredibly uneven, with strong scenes and episodes (almost the entirety of episode 10) going next to ridiculous…

By the way, here's the Newsreaders Special Report from last week, starring Lake Bell:

It just lacked some Rabbi Jewy McJewjew. You know we want it. And we deserve it.

Don't blame TT, blame Sony.

I agree it was formulaic and derivative. Compare this for instance to the "Spewey and Me" episode from Get A Life and you can see the difference between a scene by scene parody of E.T. and something that mocks the whole spirit of the "They're beautiful and we have so much to learn from them" with a few parodies.…

I didn't like the two episodes written by Diablo Cody.
But I loved most of the stuff written or co-written by Erica Oyama. "The Coffee Machine Paid for Itself" introduced Jewy McJewJew and had a good Hitler gag, "Home is where the Hospital is" was a clever deconstruction of romantic comedy clichés, and she did three…

Are you talking about the Newsreaders episode about the bird that used pubic hair to make nests and the PSA involving the cast of Childrens Hospital, or was it a new thing they put out with the new episodes of CH?

Jon Benjamin is a New Yorker who hasn't totally made the move to California. I guess that Parks & Rec had to sign Jon Glaser for several episodes so he would be interested in staying in LA for a while.

Wait until Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe join the main cast.

The ending was formulaic, pedestrian and tied the whole investigation with a big disregard for psychology.
The cliffhanger, anyway, is valid. It's what a season cliffhanger for such a show should be, not the "He's the killer. No, wait, he's not." from season one.
And the murder was not the "It was an AC-CI-DENT!" from…

It's still "Idiot Plot". You collect trophies from your crimes? Great. (But what happens when you want to kill a 12 year old girl who didn't have rings? You buy one for her first? Your release her?)
But why do you feel the need to give your trophy to your own daughter, especially when it was taken from the severed…

The destination still matters. Veena Sud is still crap at creating season length plots. What happened here is that she relied much more than in previous seasons on long sequences with two characters or long sequences about one or two characters looking desperately for another one, something she had tried during the…

As soon as she had sex with him, it was the Joe Eszterhas proof of guilt. In almost every Eszterhas whodunit (The Devil's Right Hand, Jagged Edge, Basic Instinct…), the investigator/protagonist gets to have sex with the real killer, is convinced of their innocence before finding at the last minute the horrible truth,…

That was a one-time joke, because I was pretty sure that the guy I was answering to was not only French but came from the very same part of France I was grew up in, which turned up to be true. And I quickly translated the message just below, as it was my intent anyway.
