I was just watching the 1989 Batman and, let's be real, it's pretty bad. I mean, I was obsessed with it when it came out, because I was 10, and it spoke directly to my pre-adolescent lizard brain, but come on. It can't settle on a tone—sometimes it's a dark exploration of Bruce Wayne's damaged psyche; sometimes it's…

I mean, in a perfect world, he should have told her. But the relationship dynamic at play here seems to be that unpleasant truths get punished with irrational behavior. So what's his incentive to be honest?

Not to mention I don't know if I totally dig the idea that if his girlfriend's behavior is causing a problem, the only solution for him is to either put up with it or dump her. Where's the part where she takes serious responsibility for her actions? Something more than a trite "I'm sorry that I have these irrational…

Man, letter #1 really didn't deserve the extended, thoughtful response Dan gave it.

or the old wallet some foley artist twisted to make the sound of Regan's head spinning around in The Exorcist.

rule #1: never struggle with your morally conflicted son while holding a laser sword. i mean, that thing could have just as easily gone off by accident.

Even if it doesn't happen here, the way these Star Wars movies are going, there's a pretty decent chance the 'young Han Solo movie' will end with a horrifyingly plastic Harrison Fordish monstrosity walking into the Mos Eisley cantina to look for some smuggling work.

Agree 100%. Jerry Lewis doesn't need to do publicity at this point, especially if he's going to sit there and shit on the whole process.

What's the over/under on Harrison Ford only being in the movie for, like, 15 minutes?

I'd be fine with that.

I'm only speculating here, but it's pretty likely that by the time Swinton was offered the role of the Ancient One, the character had already been altered to fit her specific type (female, androgynous, Celtic). So unless she was already familiar with the Dr. Strange mythos, Swinton probably didn't have any idea that…

I'm late to this, so I'm probably just echoing what other people have said, but whatever. This is all just a shame. It seems like Tilda went into the exchange with good intentions, and Margaret Cho, based on her emails, gave considered and thoughtful answers. Nothing got resolved, but it's certainly a more mature…

Yeah, I'm all in favor of other innovations; I'm just tired of the same old hidden immunity idol strategy. There should definitely be more hidden advantages. I was kind of jazzed about Ken's advantage this season, but it turned out to just be another immunity idol. I liked it when, a few seasons ago, Keith got that…

That was the one where they hid the idol under the shelter and they had to shimmy under the platform without anybody noticing, right? That was pretty awesome.

It could work two ways:

I think it's time for the show to retire the Immunity Idol, too. No Exile Island, either. Just straight-up Survivor Classic. It's getting old watching good players with solid gameplay get shafted because somebody stumbled across a necklace barely buried under a tree.

I'd watch a season that was made up entirely of players who were voted off first. Like, all the people with instantly abrasive or weird personalities, the wallflowers who just couldn't make an impression, the weak and the old. Basically anybody who never had a chance.

Hannah did play a great game, but she came on too strong at final tribal. She got incredibly defensive whenever someone would malign her gameplay, which is understandable, but she did it in a way that seemed off putting. It's really hard for players who are really influential behind the scenes to make their case to…

I didn't find Ken flipping on David illogical. What felt illogical was Ken's whole "I've come to play Survivor with absolute honor and integrity" thing, which, in a game that's designed to present players with moral quandaries and encourages underhanded play, is ludicrously high-minded. Plus, it didn't feel…

I don't think he was using his mom's illness as a strategy. But that kind of emotional disclosure has the potential to influence the jury whether it's deployed as a strategy or not. And there's really no way to tell how the jury would have voted if Adam hadn't brought it up; they might have been leaning towards voting…
