Yes, I would it's clear sailing there.

It submitted as a drama.

The first few times we cut to Irving I was thinking "I like like Irving, but what does this have to do with everything else…oh, the family's going to be involved too somehow? Okay, carry on."

God's not having a very good year. After failing to kill Sandra Bullock over 90 minutes, he had nearly 2 hours to kill Robert Redford, but couldn't manage that either.

4) I remember a couple lines of dialogue about was Hugh Grant's smoking hot love interest was supposedly "fat." Um, OK.

Yeah, that's why I love it too.

Unabashedly love this movie. It set a bar that none of the various people trying to rip it off have been able to come close to. It also introduced me to a bunch of actors, most notably Bill Nighy and (in a smaller role) Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Lorde - "Tennis Court"
Kacey Musgraves - "Blowing Smoke"
The Killers - "Just Another Girl"

Rickman's character doesn't get away with it. His actions ruin his marriage as well.

Several aspects of this are mutually exclusive. Blaine was in New York for Christmas, as was Burt, and Will wasn't in Lima, for instance.

It figures the one time they manage a good Christmas episode, it isn't canon. I was amazed at how much I liked this.

Same Trailer, Different Park by Kacey Musgraves deserves a mention. Ah country music, how good you can be when you aren't marinating in simplistic odes to Jesus and the American flag (the country equivalent to rapping about pimps and hos).

People were asking why they needed Batman earlier.

I don't buy that at all. Why would how much exposure she's had since Carter factor into updating her costume? If anything, that would mean fewer expectations about what it would look like.

That mix of attractiveness and assholishness we associate with the French.

When you're casting "beauty", you can't go wrong with Lea Seydoux.

Why? They haven't been using the Superman or Batman looks from JLU.

Even Jolie has a bit of arm muscle when she does that.

Not really. That show has been off the air for 30+ years. "Most Americans" have not seen it, particularly in the vital younger target demographics for these movies.

Actual height really isn't that big a deal. Films make people look taller or shorter than they actually via apple boxes and camera angles all the time (see: Cruise, Tom).
