Carrie Fisher would be a sight to behold, if her Roast of Roseanne appearance was anything to go off of. I hate those fucking things, so whenever someone like Norm MacDonald or Carrie Fisher goes off on them I feel pride.

I have a bit of a crush on Jason Ritter, which makes watching Gravity Falls slightly awkward.

Terrence Malick was the showrunner on Alan Gregory, yeah?

Table reads are held once every 2-3 weeks on the same day, at the same time, so it's very easy for other shows to accommodate them into shooting schedules. And yeah, actors can occasionally miss table reads and have their role filled temporarily by a PA or writer.

CBS is making a bold move in programming "Program" against "Show" this fall!

I love Moulin Rouge for 50% justifiable, scholarly reasons, 20% for my crush on Ewan McGregor and 30% for the fact it's the first film I made out to.

Yeah, Ang Lee is a great director with some bad movies under his belt. 

S&S is a masterpiece of adaptation, and the performances are great. I had forgotten Lee directed it because there's nothing particularly interesting about its visual look.

I'll admit I didn't really care for Magnificent Ambersons, though a second viewing really could change my perspective.

Switchboards went pretty crazy though. Maybe people were calling each other to tell them to listen to CBS.

I have seen the Criterion version (the "complete" one), so that's my entire experience with the film.

I'd go so far as to say he's really good in it.

I remember watching this film when I was younger and being completely baffled by it. I think the entire concept was just too heavy for me as a teen. But I think now it stands out as being a masterpiece of a "documentary".

I don't know if the world has been clamoring for AV Club com mentor @avclub-6e3b2cb658a36cff9d66c3371c46c4a6:disqus 's critical take, but to me criticisms like "too many white characters" or "not enough female characters" are best applied to entire art forms, rather than individual shows. Because I really understand

I listened to Tusk today!

Well it's no fun if you preempt it!

I was wondering if maybe you really, really disliked Judy Collins.

What did he do? Wikipedia doesn't seem to have anything too incriminating on him, aside from cocaine use.

My Dad, sister and I once played "50 Sitcom States" games where we tried to think of a TV show (not necessarily a sitcom) set in every state. It's weird to remember that, oh yeah, Community's set in Colorado. 

I keep telling myself "He wrote CJ Cregg, he wrote CJ Cregg…."
