"If the setup sounds like Person Of Interest: Las Vegas …" It doesn't, actually. I would never in a million years have drawn that parallel.

Tons of companies produce generic drugs. They just won't bother to try breaking into a small market with an established leader if they have to sell the drug at the same price (it's a waste of time). But if Turing had followed through on this, you can bet your ass another company would have jumped in and swallowed up…

As someone who grew up watching Home Alone, and was imprisoned for nearly a decade after setting up a series of elaborate and brutally violent booby traps that killed the cable guy, I'd question whether it was really the pinnacle of virtuous social values.

Or, instead of burning out directors / requiring that they do nothing but direct F&F films, they could wait a year until Lin or Wan are free again.

"no one was ever hooked on the pilot" - I'm not sure how this study proves that. Obviously that 70% of people who watched episode 2 and went on to watch the rest of the series also watched the pilot. How do we know they weren't hooked? What we need is the stat that says what percentage of people watched the pilot and…

Whenever I see an awkwardly sandwiched assortment of words like this, I just assume that it ends in "ghazi".

Starwipe is genuinely phenomenal. It's like an all you can eat buffet of O'Neal's best newswires (they even filled out the archive with some newswire posts), and the most exciting part is that a lot of the content comes from new writers that seem to share his gift (or are at least well coached). All the people on this…

"No matter its specific physical appearance" - what? That's like saying "No matter its specific physical appearance, a portrait of a woman is a Mona Lisa". Or "No matter its specific characters or plot details, a story of romance between the children of feuding families is a Romeo and Juliet". That's definitely not…

Peyton Manning?

That analogy is completely lost on me. But I think it doesn't make any sense whatsoever for Comedy Central to pick a host and then expect and plan for him to fail. The show doesn't increase in vitality while another host waits in the wings. People will just stop watching, and never come back. That's like saying Papa…

That Tennessee Titan metaphor clip reminds me of my Madden defence.

All that sweet, sweet Review ad money gives me some editorial independence concerns. It doesn't help that that the reviewers grades for the show are never worse than a B+. Apparently it's The Wire reincarnate?

I agree that comics should evolve with cultural norms. When the punch line of a joke involves "gay" or "like a girl" being an insult, that's not okay. When you use a public stage to reinforce negative stereotypes about a disadvantaged group, it's not a valid retort to say that they need to be able to "take a joke", as…

Dowd gave it a B+. http://www.avclub.com/artic…

It's the internet. How would they know?

I feel like it would only make sense if Eubanks was sitting in the passenger seat for this stunt. Holding a guitar. That isn't plugged into anything.

I doubt that there's any copyright in the structural format of a talk show. Copyright applies to the creative expression of ideas, rather than the ideas themselves. Ideas are patentable, but you'd also have a rough time patenting this, since it'd be a restriction on the development of the arts.

I looked up her IMDB profile. She was only involved in the first few season, which, (although it's easy to forget given how disastrous things got towards the end), were actually quite good. More worrisome are her Twilight screenplay credits. But It's hard to judge someone for a screenplay of a fairly direct book…

The lesson here is to never self-impose a deadline. You'll always regret it.

Yes, @Stl_Bob did. But linking twice never hurts. https://www.youtube.com/wat…
