Same with the "iconic" motorcycle jump in The Great Escape, which I actually missed the first time I saw the movie. To be fair, I was naively expecting the image from the DVD cover, show McQueen flying 50 feet in the air over a barbed wire fence…

I posted this in one of the reviews, but I wish the show were actually good and not just "omg wtf this show is ridiculous" good. There's was reason to believe it would be: a lot of the pre-air buzz—particularly Meredith Borders' pilot review over at Birth.Movies.Death—pitched it as Brick meets Twin Peaks, with a dash…

After reading this thread about a website database tag: uh, you guys know that this is completely different from content ratings like PG & R, right? And that the MPAA, not the friggin' IMDB, is in charge of those?

This era also gave me my favorite late-period Letterman joke. He was trying to talk about how, in the chaos, Fallon was just trying to keep his head down and not draw attention to himself. But Letterman prefaced that with:

Oh! This is apparently an official film adaptation, too, not just a similiar premise. Which means that Liam Neeson's role is likely bigger than one might expect.

Also: assuming that the Pussycats have been together for a while, Riverdale had a music store called Power Records that was staffed in part by three 14-year-old girls.

Archie's dad makes a reference to "electric Dylan bombing at a folk festival." Um, I don't think what happened to Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival can really be called "bombing" in the traditional sense, can it?

Logan doesn’t have an after-credits sequence. But it does have a before-credits one

When they make the ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN version of this administration's downfall, it won't be a teletype machine at the end but a Twitter feed updating.

(That also means that in three years we'll be the same distance in time from the first episode airing than that episode was from its setting.)

NOT-FUN-FACT: The first episode was set 22 years before the episode aired, meaning that if they made a show like that today it would be set in 1995.

The most depressing example of this is Sherri Shepherd. All the folks quoted in the article at the very least have a worldview, I guess you'd say. They've looked into it, found some terrible theories that made sense to them, and now genuinely believe that the math works out for a flat earth.

"You fool, no Brawny Man can kill me…"
"I AM NO BRAWNY MAN!"

Eagerly awaiting the retraction explaining that in fact this was just an old dude who happened to be on set.

He thought her name was Joe Z.

I agree. Also, though I don't care for the movie (durr) I thought that The Architect's whole deal was a clever way to subvert the premise of the first movie without doing the whole "real world is just another Matrix" twist that all your annoying friends predicted.

Artificial amateurs aren't at all amazing…

"I don't like to brag, but some people think I look like Daniel Craig…"

Has the shown even given us a reason to care about Archie? I don't mean that in a snarky way, I mean it literally: I don't think there's been a single scene in the show that wasn't written from the standpoint of the audience already caring about Archie.
