Thought Michele Bachmann isn't running for reelection this year and so we won't have her craziness to kick around much longer.

That was basically me in late 2000, after realizing what an idiotic move it was to vote for Nader.

Hey, I've seen Boehner's skin color right here in the AV Club! Granted, it's on those ads for spray tanners featuring models who actually look horrifying, both because of the orange glow and because they've been photoshopped right to the other side of the uncanny valley so they look more like mannequins than human…

Even when she was willing to sacrifice her own sister, and her wife and kids, it still wasn't enough to wrest that Senate seat she deserved from that old man; the Dark Side just isn't strong enough in that one, the poor dear.

Wait, why is Emperor Palpatine marked as a Star Wars character? He's a real person, remember, he was Vice President from 2001 to 2009 and once shot a friend in the face, and got an apology from him.

Directed by Guy Ritchie, so yes, it could be worse.

It's only a model.

That was Turbo Teen, mentioned above. The TV executives who programmed the Saturday morning cartoons in the 80s were snorting just as much coke as the rest, apparently. "Hey, that Rubik's Cube thing is popular, let's make a show about that, only the cube is, like, alive and has magic powers!".

Now there's another shitty 80s show Will Ferrell can turn into a movie that's supposed to be ironic, but instead just turns out stupid!

He also got used to be a speechwriter for Richard Nixon. Anything bad that happens to him is totally deserved.

What did the crazy creationist asshole do this time?

When posing as a human, Automan went by the alias of Otto Mann. That was truly a foolproof secret identity.

Hollywood, those times I suggested making a Manimal movie it was a joke, mocking the frequent films based on shitty TV shows, and I went with Manimal as the obvious worst possible choice for a show to turn into a movie. Did you not understand the sarcasm? And if this actually gets made, what will the new joke crap…

The thoughts are probably along the lines of, "six kids, fuck yeah I dodged a bullet there".

So I guess that "Random famous historical figure fights crime and/or monsters" is actually becoming a (shitty) genre. Still, that means high hopes for selling my new show where Socrates and his teen sidekick L'il Plato solve mysteries where the culprit is invariably a satyr, centaur or god.

Isn't that already basically part of the plot of Reign?

It is kind of odd that we can be somewhat hopeful for net neutrality, but only because it is in the best interests for some giant corporations that therefore fight the other mega-corporation pushing against neutrality out of their own self interest.

What do you think those of us peons the plutocrats like to piss on are?

Either that, or Netflix only has 75 comedies available, and only 75 action movies, 75 dramas, etc. Somehow I don't think that's likely.

Yeah, the interface on my Blu-Ray is better than the Apple TV and Roku at least. But it's not great. All are still just geared for searching, and suck for browsing.
