I see what you did there.

You had me at "fishnet-clad."

Because there's no continuity to "reboot". That's what that word means in this context, starting a new story that disregards all established continuity. All they'd be doing here is making a new series with the same title or brand as the previous series.

You can't "reboot" an anthology; that doesn't make any fucking sense. Words have meaning, AV Club editors. Not just clickbait value.

"Yahoo! All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet"?

He needs to work with the Coen Brothers.

But those rascally midichlorians have other ideas, amirite?

Oh, that's what the theme song says. I always heard it as "so… wop on me", which, while it didn't make sense, was nevertheless plausible as 70s slang.

Fuck the FCC.

I'm going to take this opportunity to again say what a fucking travesty it is that Phil Collins' generic Tarzan shit won over "Save Me" for the Best Original Song Oscar.

I was disappointed. I was hoping for a strong orchestral reworking of the original Zelda theme, like only horns or woodwinds doing the intro and then building from there, but instead they buried the hook under a weak string arrangement that just made everything sound the same.

I wonder if it's making the Arthur Chu haters realize how good we actually had it…

I like the part where Raiders of the Lost Ark exploring the places, and a woman.

"If there’s hope here though, it’s in the episode’s implication that Gordon will eventually have to compromise his ethics to truly clean up Gotham…"

"Reboot"? AFAIK there was no Flatliners series, no Flatliners media franchise with a shared continuity; it was just a single movie. That would make this new film a "remake", not a "reboot".

…and Roger Ebert

"…the latest, fairly rote repetition of the media reaction to a globe-spanning phenomenon, something that felt clichéd halfway through the 10th Doctor’s era. But whatever…"
