I'm honestly pretty excited just for Fimmel. It shouldn't be hard to import his Ragnar schtick to the new setting, and maybe he could become some sort of new sword-and-sandals matinee idol.

Honestly, as long as they don't do Ratatouille 2 I'm fine. Just…keep that movie pure.

Ah, that explains why the overwhelmingly Hindu Calcutta despises her. After all, almost one whole percent of the population is Christian.

She ran hospices, not hospitals. When you assess them as hospitals, they will look bad. She is widely adored by the poor of Calcutta, the only people with a problem with her are sniveling neo-colonialist Brits.

So, wait, do you not think there is any way to make an exciting story about Marco Polo without the orientalism, do you not think this is orientalist, or do you not mind the orientalism because if the bewbs? Because all I am getting from this is "well, sure this is orientalist, but dem titties doe".

Well, this is going to be good for some thinkpieces.

Do you actually not know what those mean, or do you just not want to say that you don't mind the racism because there are bewbs?

Hot dog and french fry pizza is actually pretty common in Naples. Same with lasagna pizza.

I think the problem isn't Dawn herself, it is just that the Buffy Home Life plot lines tended to be awful (wait, are you saying you didn't tune in to watch Buffy apply for a home loan?) and Dawn was at the epicenter of those.

And that is a good thing! The worst thing about gaming journalism is how uniform it is. The reason I like Gameological is that it tends to have divergent reviews from the norm.

No, what we need is Mel Brooks.

As much as I loath the man deeply, Macfarlane's Abraham Lincoln joke and his "needs no introduction" gag were great. I remember Stewart being perfectly competent, but his snark wings were clearly slipped.

Tim and Eric made the ones with Terry Crews, but not the famous "Man Your Man Could Smell Like" ones. And I don;t think Tim and Eric had any hand in the wonderfully loopy Skittles commercials.

I actually kind of want to discuss Seinfeld's incredibly brave and perceptive attack on advertising, because, I will say it, I think Old Spice and Skittles commercials are some of the most consistently funny thing on TV right now.

TV has made a lot of strides, particularly in the last decade, but whenever people say they are on equal artistic footings I can't help thinking people are just not thinking very hard. Stuff is done in film every year that could never be done in TV (ed: at least not yet).

Breaking Bad is one of the greatest TV dramas ever produced. Inception…is not that for film. Why not something like, say, There Will Be Blood, Letters from Iwo Jima, or another actual fair comparison?

The Godfather? Unforgiven? Raging Bull? Schindler's List? That's without going into cinema's deep catalog: has TV produced anything like 8 1/2? Good, the Bad, and the Ugly? Breathless? Seven Samurai?

Except its travel doc are suuuper orientalist and racist. Compare the Vice Liberia special to Anthony Boudain's.

Well, the real victims are the indigenous peoples of the Amazon.

I disagree. the way it is now, it is a really interesting take on a slow descent into the delusions of a paranoid schizophrenic. There are plenty of movies about the evil government/police/hospitals/whatever doing evil things, this was somewhat unique.
