I like that House of Cards and Arrested Development got namedropped in the review, but no mention of Hemlock Grove. AV Club is trying to forget it exists. I, for one, found it gleefully terrible.

But didn't Dexter adopt them when he married Rita? He was still their legal guardian, even after Rita died. I think he pawned them off on their grandparents the same way Huey, Dewey and Louie's mother pawned them off on Donald. They were just supposed to be visiting, but she never came to get them back.

As a Floridian, I must say the drive from Orlando to Miami is no picnic. It's easily four and a half hours, one way. Every time Dexter sent Jamie there in the last few seasons, she'd better have been charging extra gas money, since it would take at least two full tanks there and back.

I just assumed she found a gun in the storage unit. Wasn't it the fence's?

I have a friend who likes Dexter better than Breaking Bad. When I asked him why, his response was that while Breaking Bad is clearly "better" he finds Dexter a lot more fun.

I worked at Universal Studios Hollywood around the time the first movie came out, and our gift shop sold those stuffed unicorns. EVERYONE who picked one up quoted that line, and about half of them ended up buying it. Pretty brilliant move, Universal.

The plane scene is cool. I also really liked the "I hear everything" sequence with Superman and Lois. The rest of this movie is boooooooooooooooooooooooring.

I saw that on a date years ago. I heard John Cusack rewrote most of his own dialog so it would sound "John Cusack-ier." Which is hilarious.

My girlfriend and I used to get a kick out of watching the last five minutes of any given episode of "Private Practice" before "Pushing Daisies" started. Then "Pushing Daisies" got canceled, so I guess the joke was on us.

Jackie Gleason? Ted Danson and Shelley Long?

Me too. My cousin and I were just talking the other day about how we need to sit down and finally watch that show. I guess this is the excuse we needed.

Burton's Batman was "gothic" and "noir-ish," largely to distinguish itself from the campy television series. Nolan's take was "gritty" and "realistic," largely to distinguish itself from Burton's take. That franchise is in constant conversation with its own past.

"I'll say this: there can be no film/theatrical production of Charlie
that doesn't exist without engagement with Wilder as Willy Wonka (and by
extension, the film to a lesser extent)."

I liked the actors playing the kids in the new one. Not as much as the original, but they were pretty good. I thought Grandpa Joe was good in the new one, too. A few other small things I liked… the way the Wonkavator, or Great Glass Elevator, or whatever, the way that thing worked. That was cool. And I laughed out…

It's not like Wilder just goes around attacking every remake of everything he's ever been in, though. I thought the 2005 "Producers" was an even bigger piece of shit than "Chocolate Factory," but I don't think he's ever said much about it. Something about Burton's flick just rubbed him the wrong way and I think he's…

Rosenbaum's Luthor was easily the best part of Smallville, for what that's worth.

He's not the most interesting Superman villain by a long shot, but they clearly wanted to jump start the franchise with a villain Superman can actually fight. I'm fine with that.

I thought they did a few interesting things with it this time around. I liked that Lois just knows he's Superman right off the bat, for example.

His "I WILL FIND HIM" rant reminded me a lot of Zod screaming "YOU KNEEL BEFORE ME" in the original. And both happen right as he's being sent to the Phantom Zone. It must have been intentional.
