I'm sorry, but I cannot take any criticism towards Moffat's female characters seriously coming from an RTD fan. Rose was the most simpering companion whose life (as she explicitly stated many times) revolved around the Doctor. Even Martha Jones, maybe my favorite companion, get saddled with the needless characteristic…

Edna married Ned Flanders??? WTF, last I watched she was with Principal Skinner.

It's interesting that PBS is doubling down and combining their two most popular shows on one night, instead of saving them and making them a separate event. As EW mentioned, it's like PBS has smelled the same blood in the water on Sunday nights that caused a cabe resurgence and want their piece of it.

I'm with you.

I haven't seen it either and I'm in my 30's. I suppose if Blockbuster were still alive I could rent the DVDs, but it's not, so my only option would be to buy the DVDs and I'm not doing that for a show I haven't seen and don't know if I like. It's way too expensive to buy a show on DVD that lasted five seasons anyway.

I read an article recently by a film professor who said her current college students are largely unfamiliar with series like The Sopranos and The Wire because they're unavailable to stream. Those kids consider the "new canon" to be Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Sherlock, The Walking Dead, Parks & Rec, etc. The argument was a…

My favorite McCartney deep cut is his cover of Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome Town" off Run Devil Run. It was his first session after Linda died, and he pours all his anguish into what may be his best vocal performance ever. Anyone who thinks just John Lennon did primal vocals on Plastic Ono Band hasn't listened to that.

I’ve listened to the album several times now and honestly, it may be my favorite since Ram. Excepting “Hosanna,” I’m not crazy about the ballads though. It’s really quite insane how most pop artists would crawl across glass for an album with just one melody as memorable as the ones McCartney can toss off effortlessly…

The Ford quote on Graham Norton was taken out of context by the press, now that I've seen the episode. Graham asks Ford if he's in the new Star Wars film and Ford stares at him.

I was ambivalent about Assange's true nature before, but those who double space between sentences are truly monsters.

I would disagree on two points:

It got generally good reviews when it came out but then seems to have been promptly forgotten.

Tabitha was also the one who rescued the Carrie manuscript from the trash.

This just in: famous, high-profile author gives positive review to fellow famous, high-profile peer and acquaintance in NYT Review of Books!

11/22/63 is the most underrated King novel and the best of his later period, IMO. Don't understand why more people don't like it - maybe because it's one of the few unabashed love stories King's ever written?

Question: isn't the last half of Breaking Bad's S5 eligible at next year's Emmys? I've seen a lot of comments that this was Cranston's last chance but only the first part of S5 aired before the cut-off for the 2013 Emmys, correct?

Hmm, interesting. Now I'm wondering if the Nazis, after the shootout, essentially kidnap both Walt and Jesse to make them cook for them. And then Walt somehow escapes and goes on the run, but the mission back to ABQ with all the guns will be Walt's attempt to rescue Jesse from being the Nazis' cook slave. After all,…

I read Emma Stone dropped out to do Woody Allen's follow-up to Blue Jasmine, but that movie started shooting at the beginning of August while Crimson Peak isn't due to start shooting until January 2014.

Cumberbatch said in an interview at TIFF that he departed this movie for creative reasons "which are between me and Guillermo." Considering Emma Stone also abruptly departed the project (and was replaced by Jessica Chastain) and the continuing presence of Charlie "Sure I'll sign on for 15 Shades of Grey without…

My favorite scene in the original is when JoBeth Williams discovers that shit will slide across the kitchen floor of its own accord, so she keeps putting chairs down and watching them go, then straps a helmet on her kid so that Carol Anne can take a ride on the demonic Slip n' Slide. What an awesome mom.
