Well Kanye did work with Lily Allen on Common's "Drivin' Me Wild," so I think he's probably heard of her.

Great article, and definitely true about some stars' tastes not allowing it in many cases (Kristin Wiig shying away from Bridesmaids sequel, for example) but above all, economics has been the biggest driver. Ferrell, Carell and Rudd blew up post-Anchorman and arguably should have earned higher salaries if they were…

To be fair, it gathered a cult following because it is batshit crazy and astonishing that it ever could have been made the way it was

We're getting increasing amounts of funding from Chinese sources, because American studios don't want to pay for these expensive movies anymore, so we're only going to be seeing more of this modified garbage. It's creepy enough when it's companies with product placement, but this seems like a worse violation and a…

That ending was infuriating. I was very much engaged with this episode, my heart's going out to Pam as she's dealing with this mess, and then out of nowhere we get some fucking boom mic operator who we're supposed to emotionally react to. It's not a reveal so much as pulling the emotional fucking rug out from under…

The problem with season 5 isn't the start of season 5, it's the rest of it that is the problem. The conclusion for the kidnapping storyline is fine. The rest of the season feels like a Presidential grab bag of gimmicky storylines and what I seem to remember as endless hours of Josh Malina saying "The Vice President…

Now I'm reading the Community one and I have to agree on that. Though that one is salvageable.

I had to stop reading and chip in after Zach's Harry Potter section. Yes, Harry has his fate, his history, his abilities thrust upon him - it's useful to get us into the story and the world, but to suggest there's nothing to him beyond that feels like missing the point entirely.

The Kaling interview drove me nuts. You can tell when Maron has a real angle on someone and I  didn't get that sense at all here (except when her standup career was brought up). Kaling jumped on him more than once, connecting dots that she felt he was connecting as ammo to use against her, when he was just asking…

Blade Runner for sure, a great movie but an incredible behind-the-scenes story. Dangerous Days was like 3 or 4 hours long and it never felt like it, there was so much going into that thing.

This may sound extreme, but The Roots should threaten to leave. Do you honestly think NBC would let them walk away?

Yeah I guess so. It's been a while since I read it. I was only thinking of what I remember the character being like.

Agreed on that first point. This was a great Chris Traeger episode, actually, makes me believe that he fits into this world.

Tell me straight. Are you a chinese?
