Yeah, I agree.  This doesn't actually seem like a useful article.

I think "late fall" is called "after baseball."  Remember that year they basically didn't even bother to start their fall season at all until November?

He did such a great job with The Age of Innocence that it would be fascinating to see what he would do with Gatsby.

Honestly I think this is why JJ wanted to keep it a secret, because he knew people would freak out about it.  But you're totally right about a Bollywood star—Trek as a franchise seriously underperforms overseas, so you'd think they'd want to do something to boost the international ticket sales.  Nope!

Agreed, this soundtrack is really fantastic—one of my favorite records from the late 90s.

I think that's just really not where Marshall's insecurities lie (note that he thinks Robin's always hitting on him).  He's much more worried about Lily leaving him for the art world or other ways in which they're different, than Lily ever looking seriously at another man. So when she does hit on people he just wants…

I sort of secretly want that person to have been Neil Patrick Harris himself.

That's exactly why I stopped reading the Castle recaps.  They were so deeply unpleasant to read.

Yeah that dress doesn't even come close to the levels of unattractive that the dress in the movie does. It's just … some 80s prom dress.

Yeah, it's MIB.

@avclub-1bf6967de9dde6cd60f8f894bf309d3f:disqus I didn't think you had—I thought @avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus had.  I don't adore her at all.  I know who she is and I've liked some of her stuff but I don't care about her that much one way or the other.

@avclub-1bf6967de9dde6cd60f8f894bf309d3f:disqus It absolutely is, but I would think a visit to the IMDB would give you, oh THAT girl, especially with Dawson where she was one of the four primary characters, or at least "oh she was in that movie I vaguely heard about that time."

She's been nominated for an Oscar three times, is something of an indie queen, and was on a long-running and popular television show in the late 90s.

For reals. I love McMillan and Wife.

Mostly I remember everyone running in slow motion and trying to make that "bionic" sound, and especially, standing near the automatic doors at the supermarket and then pretending you opened them with your bionic finger.

Did anyone else notice that table full o' Top Chef winners in the previews? I saw Ilan (ugh), Paul Qui and Mike Voltaggio, and I would bet that Stephanie Izard would show up but who else was at that table?

Never mind that half the reason Carla Hall made it to the finale in her season was because she was so accomplished with desserts that she could take the dessert in all those "everyone takes a course" challenges, do it well, and stand out.  Or she'd make a savory pie—Colicchio was in love with her crusts.  It could be…

I know this isn't a standard 80s teenager rock-snob thing to say, but the magazine that kept ME up to date with whatever The Smiths were doing was Smash Hits (Star Hits in the US), which at the time I was reading it was edited by future Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant.

She really has been notably more condescending this season. She was easily the worst part of that stupid cruise episode, being so pleased to tell them they were cooking surf and turf. I can't imagine what it was like to be stuck in the car with her.

Yeah the thing that worries me about Brooke is that sometimes the chef that thrives in the weekly challenges, where they have boundaries, flounders in the finale where it's just, "cook your best food." Happened to Blaise the first time around, happened to Stephan his first time, to Carla Hall to a certain extent. And…
