He didn't write it, and he wasn't involved day-to-day, but all involved say he was a part of the planning and development all the way through. I always took that to mean that he was the guy pushing for everything to be a big secret, and to pile question on top of question without ever answering anything.

JJ Abrams and mystery now make me run screaming in the other direction (only with the actual screaming and running; it's more metaphorical). JJ Abrams apparently thinks hiding what breakfast cereal his characters eat is compelling drama.

I despair over the idea that the rest of our lives are going to be consumed by articles that express outrage over the 50 people on Twitter or in internet comment sections who are dicks. I keep thinking people are going to realize that those 50 people represent…

My parents don't like black bars AND they keep watching the of SD channels on their 50 inch plasma.  I don't know how their heads do not explode from the dichotomy.  They won't watch movies if they have black bars, but they do watch regular TV with both the black bars and the fuzzy picture you get when you watch an SD…

I met her once in LA in the late 80's.  She was a very cool, no bullshit kind of person. It was very refreshing. I was working for a producer doing a play and had been auditioning nutty actors for days on end, so when she came in it was like a breath of fresh air. Everyone went to lunch before her reading, so she and…

It's not about the genre; it's about the storytelling. Fantasy such as Buffy is far superior to about 99% of what we'd call science fiction, so what's the point of worrying about which is which? Battlestar is pretty hard science fiction, but what about the magic of God that permeates throughout?  That's why I prefer…

Wow.  This is shocking. I had them all down as Mensa members of the highest moral fiber.  I guess the only truly unbiased geniuses left on television are the contestants on NAKED AND AFRAID.

Also, it's no longer going to air in color!

"Also, that other video had lots of black people in it." - From the unedited talking points YouTube was going to go with on why they allowed JT's video after banning Robin Thicke's.

One very good thing did come from THE DEVILS ADVOCATE.  That would be this:

Holy shit! Are we in a movie?

If it has Uma Thurman fisting LaBeuof, I am there.

How about an intense drama/thriller where The Incredibles hunt down and kill the Monsters U folk?  They can get Chan-wook Park to direct, a la Wes Anderson doing Fantastic Mr. Fox and Noah Baumbach doing Madagascar 3… only, you know, with more blood and guts and naked people.

It's going to be about a group of people who get sucked into seeing a movie that by the end they realize they had already seen before, and then they shoot themselves.

"We got a White House down; we got a White House down."

I think it's implied that Woz and Jobs together could only make one whole person, ethically, morally, sexually.

One of the pure joys that comes from watching Tremors is watching Michael Gross play a wing nut survivalist with a well stocked armory (and a wife played by Reba McEntire). Seeing Mr. Keaton playing a right wing, gun toting alpha male tickled me to no end. 

It's been done, and quite well:

Think eventually LA Law took the HSB slot.  And, yes, Night Court was pretty great for quite a few years.  Certainly one of the best nights in television history, and NBC kept it going for 20 years until very recently.  It's very weird for someone of my age to look at Thursday nights and see that NBC is in the…

That's my childhood right there.  Family Ties came on just as I was old enough to appreciate Justine Bateman, and it went off the air a few years after I graduated high school.  It was never my favorite show, but it was probably the show to best represent my teenage years (in Ohio, no less).
