That FOX PR guy's statement sounds like it might have been: "Clearly, there is no rape scene…with a bear."

You know that if they'd been cooped up in the cabin just a little bit longer, she would've fixed that haircut of his.

Yeah, that was an interesting choice, particularly given Peggy's established stand on offspring. Still, it was a great way to illustrate the collision between Dodd's mommy issues and the slow-motion psychotic break Peggy's been suffering since she ran over Rye. Donovan's face when Peggy forces Dodd to say "No thank…

Rebels is worth watching. However, if you're limited in time and have to choose between Clone Wars and Rebels, I'd go with Clone Wars, because it's much more essential than Rebels—also, you can consult one of the many guides out there to cherry-pick the best episodes, of which there are many, and which will give you…

In Soviet Russia, if Star Wars comes out, it risks being gaybashed on the streets and prosecuted for spreading homosexual propaganda.

That sounded disturbingly like a marriage vow.

The Clone Wars had a similar problem figuring out what age range it was aimed at from time to time. Like Rebels, lots of the time it felt aimed at the 6-11 demographic. Then, from time to time you'd have a horror episode (like the ones where there are zombies or mind controlling worms) or more realistic war stories…

The movie's about the world finding out about Batman as something more real than an urban legend. But it's not about Wayne becoming Batman, or learning how to be Batman, or any of the real origin story issues Batman Begins deals with (how he learned to become, basically, a ninja; early rough attempts at being a…

You're not making things any better for 1989, there.

Step down. There might be some society, at some point in the history of the human race, where Hammer pants were considered proper formalwear. Instead we are left to consider a universe in which, perhaps, a tux jacket should be considered sportswear…

Does anyone hear the similarity between Cult of Personality riff and Cherry Pie? I don't.

I don't understand Hollywood's conventional wisdom that each sequel is supposed to open stronger than the one that preceded it. I'd think that in the case of Mockingjay Part 2, the theater audience would be pretty much capped at the folks who saw the last one in theaters, minus any people who didn't like the last one,…

That was the best laugh this show's ever given me. They didn't overplay it at first, just let him start with the click..click…click before everyone started reacting.

My bad—I responded in Disqus, which denied me seeing the whole thread. How many stacked corpses does it take to reach the second floor, anyway?

Yeah. It was one of the places where film proved a better medium for the first book than the page, because in the first movie they conveyed the same idea with just a few shots of Lawrence staring at all the food arrayed in front of her, and her largely silent reactions give us something it takes Collins several…

The thing with this fad of splitting the last chapter of a trilogy in two is that you almost never end up with balanced standalone movies. Too many of these "Franchise 3: Part 2" entries wind up approximating two-hour action scenes, with the final conflict being given its own 2+ hour movie.

"For awhile it was Jagger alongside Beatty, then James Taylor, then David Geffen of all people. "

If we're following the song, I'd check the coffee. Also, throw out the chocolate pie.

Now! With thickening agent!
