"a presentational style of delivering subtext plainly through dialogue, which is characteristic of many American sound films produced prior to the 1960s" What?

Terrible movie. Gritty? Out of your mind. Self-serious, self-enchanted, airless, pretentious, one of those movies where everyone on screen is having more fun brooding than the audience is watching. Gritty? Gritty? Gritty? This thing was as phony as a daytime soap. One thing I will say for it—I have never seen…

In Letterman's farewell week, I felt, not just for me, but on behalf of the nation, a weariness of Bill Murray's schtick. He's gone from the wisecracking Shakespearean fool of showbiz to a campy caricature of himself, crashing weddings and t.v. shows like he's Rip Taylor, and cranking out the mediocre flicks like he…

Branagh has been a gun-for hire for decades. His terrible adaptation of "Sleuth," the reincarnation noir, "Dead Again." What was surprising about the "Thor" people approaching Branagh was handing such a hot property to a box office loser rather than his previous Shakespeare credentials.

Braylin College? The founder and president is an 8th grade girl from Ohio.

Indeed, this episode sucked, and just for the reasons you say. The drunk Lisa was for me, the nadir. The pun, if it could be called that, of "Mathlete's Feat" also just wretched, even if not a joke on the show. But as someone completely unaware of who Rick and Morty are, that too sucked, my friend, and seemed the…

" The Flash is going to have to trust that its viewers have seen the show before." The Flash may be disappointed.

Used to think you were too hard on the Simpsons. Lately the show has been going down a really hokey, touchy-feely road. They used to be able to do this beautifully, like 22 years ago (Homer's bypass leaps to mind). Now it just feels like, for lack of any good jokes, let's have various characters show their "softer"…

Good God, the "good" line you include at the end is as labored as it is unpleasant.

apparently hasn't been much of a decade and a half for movies, then. Oh, and due to a clerical error or a typo or something, you put the Master at #1. You definitely want to go back and fix that.

you gave this a fucking A? All credibility just vanished. Clearly you know what you're going to give the movie before you see it, according to whichever way the hip wind blows. Keep singing the praises of the emperor's new clothes. This piece of shit was unwatchable, and I have never felt more contempt for me as…

they'll never admit it, but this show is more about that Castro scumbag in Cleveland. Cults tend to be comprised of more than 3 imprisoned women. Also, I dug this show's premise and pilot (and theme song), but it's been diminishing returns ever since. For as high as the stakes could or should be, given the premise,…

did Dennis Miller just go up the memory hole? I know he's a Republican now, but he owned that damn anchor desk for years. Macdonald the only rival for putting on his own imprint in that role.

yeah, but in Freaks & Geeks, lindsay IS weirded out by Nick. It wasn't "actually" creepy so much as just…creepy.

This is pure speculation? Seems a stretch to worry about people's sensibilities being offended by the idea of a cartoon character who happens to share the same race and profession as another FICTIONAL, non-cartoon character (from a 30 year old show) portrayed by an embattled sleazebag in real life should find himself…

I actually have found earlier seasons much worse than this one, but agree with you this episode was pretty crappy. The bagpipe alien wheezing bagpipe sounds as he smoked a cigarette made me laugh.

The print ad campaign for this asked, "for your consideration" for a bunch of Golden Globes that, at a glance from the way the awards they were HOPING for were presented, looked as though the film had already been nominated for, if not won. A sleazy bit of bullshit that rivals whatever this guy who pretended to be a…

but when will there be a transgender stoner comedy? Why must there always be this knee-jerk political correctness to every fucking review?

Not like I love the song, but she makes a weak and whiny case. Sorry it discomfits her that John Cougar mentioned a black person when he's clearly white. what an asshole.

Enjoy whatever you buy with the payola they gave you to give this thing a B-. The Andre character wins some kind of "Poochie" award for most calculated and lame character in a series this season. Not that anyone else fares much better.
