My wife can't get past the fact that it's Gideon from Charmed hosting this, and so will not watch it.  which means I will not watch it, since I can't be bothered to set the DVR at home if she doesn't do it.  there's too much internets to be viewed.

I enjoyed Eastwick's brief life mostly because of Paul Gross.  And also the redhead witch.

lol @ that realization.  "why's everyone else so old.  wait a minute…"

for the goodbye tour, we stood in line behind these two ladies who had religiously attended every tour ever since the PHM days.  They were… interesting.

this is one of those movies where the score is an extra character.

I just happened to have watched this again last weekend, after seeing it years ago and loving it.  I wanted to see if my memories were accurate, and honestly, I think I might like it even better now.  Sure, the ending is abrupt, but I think it's an amazing take on the superhero trope.

also, just because he's currently incarcerated in an institute for the criminally insane does not eliminate him as a supervillain, if you want to go there.  The Joker and assorted dudes get sent to Arkham all the time, and they're still 'valid' villains.

I like that fight scene because it exploits his 'superpower' — he's 'unbreakable'.  All he has to do is hold on to the bad guy who tries to pry him off by slamming him hard against walls and elbowing the shit out of him, and wait him out.  A normal person would have fallen off in pain, but not him.

My introduction to the story of Jason and the Argonauts was through the ducks looking for the golden fleece.  I grew up in Brazil and the Disney comics printed in digest format were such a huge part of my childhood.  Duck Tales was super enjoyable but I never understood why there wasn't enough Donald, and thanks to

it's like a really fucked-up, live action Scooby-Doo.

shhh.  don't try to make sense of it.  I foolishly tried a few seasons back.  Peeling back the thin veneer of causality and continuity of Bones revealed a snarled mass of tentacles, like hermaeus mora floating in mid-air.  It seized hold of my sanity and I was left like that little girl in the closet in The Ring.

I don't understand the cowboy hat thing. 
It's a look, sure, but is it also meant to allude to some kind of "traditional" pablum?  because, if so, I'm pretty sure that back in the day when dudes wore hats all the time, they also took the damn things off when indoors.
I only mention this because during the Grammys,

"Why do they find the alien relic by just flying low over the planet's surface and spotting the valley it's in at random? "

"Why do they find the alien relic by just flying low over the planet's surface and spotting the valley it's in at random? "

all I ever see when I read that is "game of the year edition"

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I copped to being dumb and missing the fact that Stannis and Melisandre were fucking since the beginning, but I find it pretty funny that people are using the "DUUH!  THE SHADOW BABY LOOKED LIKE STANNIS" as the obvious piece of evidence for this.

Yeah, I'm sort of concerned that this breaks the character of Stannis a little.  Unless I'm dumb and he was fucking her all along, but I didn't get the impression the they were doing it, and his sense of duty and honour and all that jazz is so hardcore that surely he wouldn't be doing this?

I just said that.  well actually you said it first and I said it again.  there's a serious disconnect with that little fishy thing, between last night's song and her 'performance' as a jail guard.

fuckin Kenya.  again with the complete lack of awareness of… the world, really.  What the fuck made you think twirling around like a hobbit on speed was a good idea for that song?  YOU HAVE NO SENSE.  NONE.
