What? You don't love a Star Trek movie in which Spock shows deep emotions every second scene? And in which we're supposed to care for the fate of a captain we've known for approximately 4 hours (two films), compared to the 70+ hours of Spock over 15 years.

I couldn't help thinking about the first two seasons of The Killing after reading this tumblr entry by Javier Grillo-Marxuach (creator of The Middleman):

KILDJA!

Or skills in one field doesn't mean you understand other fields.
I won't dwell on Bobby Fischer, as his case is well documented, the guy had basically his brain wired very differently from the common man, but we have in France the 19th century mathematician Michel Chasles, who was hugely important for vectorial…

This season, she looks a lot like Amy Sedaris.

@avclub-40e90db13ab31c7efd64228034182c2e:disqus There are some arguments that Superman is a Jewish character. The real name Kal-El ("El" as a part of God's name being used in many Jewish first names), the bespectacled and coward Clark Kent who basically a depiction by anti-Semites while Superman would be the strong,…

The real irritating problem with Todd's reviews is when half of his words are devoted to guessing what he's expected to think about a show, either because the episode doesn't reach the full potential he attributes to the show, or because he figures that his readers can't live without (or, sometimes, with) his views in…

@drdarke:disqus Now I remember that there's one more reason for NTSF to poke fun at Argo.
S.A.M. is in the background of an Argo scene in Hollywood. Apparently, this design for a robotic plastic body armor has been used in several productions, including The Middleman (in silver):

I didn't mind at all Béjo's acting in The Past. I'm French and I didn't feel there was anything forced or hysterical in her scenes, given what we discover about her during the film. And she delivered a much better performance than in the first OSS 117, which was directed by her husband. Unfortunately, Hazanavicius is…

I liked Argo too, but the movie looks even more Oscar-bait than a biopic about some artist with a handicap starring Sean Penn and Cate Blanchett and just a little less than a Spielberg-directed Lincoln biopic with Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln.

Season 3 is apparently completed. They announced that a trailer would be shown at Comic-Con, but nothing from it has surfaced so far otherwise.
I guess that Adult Swim may want to pair it with another similar show to form a half-hour block, just like they do with Childrens and NTSF. Anyway, I expect it to start in…

This is exactly what I expect from a NTSF:SD:SUV:: episode. An inspired parody of a recent thriller with ridiculously low stakes that actually highlight (knowingly or not) the flaws of the original piece.
A Hard Drive To Swallow was great because it was actually a veiled but sharp criticism of everything that's wrong…

It's a very articulate description of the bonding between somebody and their pet when they have spent a long time living together. It's sad but she doesn't want anybody to pity her, she's actually aware that all things must pass and that losing a dog isn't like losing your parents or your significant other.
The really…

You forgot The Big One: Senator Clay Davis.

Daniela Bianchi starred with Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell in the Italian 007 spoof OK Connery that featured Sean's real-life brother as the lead.
It isn't damn good.

If the Holocaust never happened but is presented as an historical truth, it means that the Jews faked it in order to gain a full affidavit to do whatever they want, including the State of Israel.
So, by denying the Holocaust, these people consider themselves the victims of a large Jew-run conspiracy, one big enough to…

Wilson is 6 feet 2 and was always a little chubby, which means he looked much taller than Mike Love (6 ft 1).

Most of the actresses or models who have to do some nudity are asked to do their best to lose weight and exercise, so they look more photogenic. Sarah Polley asked the actresses in the scene to be their usual selves rather than being at the top of their shape, as the intent of the scene was to hint at the obligatory…

She voiced the female lead in Wreck-It Ralph and did a great job in that, when she turned out to be able to carry the character in a more dramatic and emotional direction rather than being just irritating and silly.
She's also incidentally the first Disney Jewish princess.

I think I have found the explanation for her reduced screen time this season.She was cast at the last minute as the lead in a pilot for NBC, Holding Patterns, a multi-camera sitcom that was supposed to star Chyler Leigh. Leigh was "out of town and under the weather" for the table reads and they already asked Hayes to…
