Reworking It! or How I Survived Watching 11 Episodes From a Show America Had Been Spared
We can: Work It out!, a review of “My So-Called Mid-Life Crisis”, the unaired series finale for Work It
The something something of Work It: nah, I can’t even think anymore of a funny title for my ongoing series of reviews for the lost episodes of Work It
The prequel to Journey to Italy was quite long in the making.
Legislation can't give credit to the "Replace All" function of Final Draft.
The end of people commenting on how great a trilogy The Matrix would make.
"Produced by EuropaCorp (of Taken fame) and co-written by Luc Besson (also of Taken fame)"
"Written by Besson"… Cough… cough…
It's a public posture. His latest novel, Blood's A Rover, had leftist women as the only sane and reasonable characters, which was something of a departure for his plots, but is quite in line with his main topic of hardboiled guys being some kind of a nutcase.
And the guy is pro-gun control and anti-death penalty.
James Ellroy doesn't really hate those things, he's just manipulating you.
You're right. I just didn't make myself clear.
The reviewer considered that NTSF didn't make a parody of Die Hard and that the episode suffered from it.
I agree with you that it was an obvious Die Hard parody. I wanted to add that Die Hard already has some kind of humor and self-awareness. So, I don't think you can't…
This season's Time Angels episode was by far the weakest in the history of the show. None of the leads were comedians (except maybe Jayma Mays) and the delivery was too flat, while not being straight faced (which could have been funny in itself).
Actually, they had a problem with a few classic film parodies this…
That was the main problem, actually.
Die Hard is quite funny, and it's already been parodied to death by various shows (I can mention Chuck, The Middleman or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They all had better riffs on the formula).
So doing a Die Hard tribute/parody has to be somewhat original, just not a collection…
Brandon Nowalk wasn't convinced by the quality of the first two episodes of season 3 in his review. Kevin, who covered season 2, may have not been interested.
But so far, it's a thrilling, challenging, surreal experience based on deconstructing TV genres, quite different in style from the first two seasons but getting…
Last night on Adult Swim, the NTSF:SD:SUV:: holiday special was so-so, a formulaic parody of Die Hard that was not in the league of last year's Christmas Activity.
But Eagleheart is still on a roll, with another very weird episode that goes in totally unexpected directions.
I don't think that there will be a DVD. Even Childrens Hospital switched to MOD (Warner Archive) for season 4, so I don't have much hope for less popular shows.
What else is on?
And Kerri Kenney (sometimes -Silver)
It's becoming a tradition to end a season on a bizarre sketch: Baby Forest Whittaker, If Names were Farts…
Jacques and Maurice Tourneur, bitch.
… especially when they're using Apple products.
It was so nauseating that I was surprised that the end credits didn't reveal that Samsung hadn't paid the production to harm their rivals' reputation.
The Ruling Class is one of those films where anything can happen, and does happen. It goes effortlessly from Monty Python to opera and tragedy. O'Toole is just riveting. As repulsive as he is in the second half, the memory of how charming he was in the first part helps you to get through.
This is a film where a Lord,…
