To be fair, the current PM wasn't actually elected to the position, so at least you can cling to the idea that the British moron wasn't technically picked by any kind of democratic standard. Hooray?

Ballard was never a doctor, he started studying medicine but dropped out in his second year to be a full-time CREATIVE PERSON.

Noted impressionist Alec Baldwin? The sketch comedian? In a drama?! I don't know about this…

You should drive down to Riverdale, they're lousy with it.

Almost there. The logo of Disney the company isn't even a representation of Disney the man's signature, it's just straight up his name written in Will Eisner's handwriting. Disney's scribble looked nothing like that. Corporation's have started lying to us! Tell the people!

Periodical is definitely one way to describe the AV Club's comics coverage!

Farrell fucks?! I'll never watch his movies again!

Hunter S. Thompson really was the original Joker. Apparently Depp kept a diary of all the different rums Thompson would like… sick shit.

Yeah, a lot of people here seem to feel they haven't seen much coverage so there's definitely something there. I don't think I've seen anything in theatres recently that would be expected to carry the preview in front so I guess I can't speak to that - that's definitely weird if it's not being sent out with the right…

Isn't this about the 6th trailer for WW already? It could just be because it's a film I'm already interested in, but I feel like I hear about this movie all the time. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, they've apparently spent more on advertising this than Suicide Squad, which nobody could argue was under-promoted.

Maybe! There was one reference to him possibly being Chinese a couple appearances in I think, but he wouldn't confirm or deny so looks like he's playing it somewhat safe with that at least. Still, if you're coming up with a non-specific wacky voice and it even slightly resembles Charlie Chan, even by accident - maybe…

I'll give him that! Although Middleditch's character has the fact that he's a racist caricature built into the joke at least, with the appropriate reactions from the rest of the crew whenever he phones in. Ming is just… accepted?

Usually that honor's reserved for the comments section.

Ming isn't even really a character; they abandoned his sports critic gimmick after his first appearance and now he just floats aimlessly and jokelessly through his return appearances. The only recurring element of Ming is the horrible Comedy Chinaman™ voice Rowley insists on doing. I'm surprised Scott ever allowed…

Because you're clearly assuming a level of supportive irony that I and many others don't see as being quite so apparent. The "joke" such as it is seems to be much more making light of the horrible conditions that making any sort of self-deprecating commentary about her own level of privilege compared to the dire…

Not Moneypenny, just an actress who looked quite a bit like the actress they'd hired to play Moneypenny in the same film. When I was a kid I always thought it was the same character too, so well done to those casting directors! And they did bone, for sure. He pops open a champagne caddy from the rest between their…

Sure, prisoner rights aren't one of the causes you give a shit about. That's ok. Secondly, you're putting words in quote marks I didn't use, so you should cut that out straight away. This was a thread about her comment about a prison visit, that's why my reply related to that and only that. I don't believe either of…

"DUNHAM: So Rikers Island is the most relaxing place you've been in months?

Hold on… Lost in Space… Lost in Translation… Sergeant York!

There's already a successful updated, snarky version of it with a popular vote element - isn't America's Got Talent basically the exact same format as the Gong Show but with buzzers to kick the acts off instead of a gong?
