Comedy gold! http://mashable.com/2017/03…

He looked like he was going to wilt and cry when that lady accosted him at an Apple Store and simply asked him if he's okay with what he is. I think Spicer has sad feels every day.

And now you've made Keaton feel really small.

Um, shouldn't it have been the last straw? The goodwill from the original Matrix allowed them to make two poorly received sequels and then three really expensive bombs in a row. I haven't seen Speed Racer, but those last two were borderline unwatchable. The Matrix came out 18 years ago. At a certain point WB had…

That's my congressman! He probably doesn't need my vote, seeing as how he got 93.3% of the vote in the 2016 election, but I am very glad I voted for him.

Yeah, but doesn't that kind of prove the point that binging lessens a viewer's emotional engagement with the material? The Lost bingers didn't care about the outcome of the show, because they didn't get to experience the fun of indulging in fan theorizing for years and therefore never really connected with the story…

Most cabinet posts are only occupied for four years at a time — the work is just too grueling (and private speaking fees are just too high) for most people to commit to eight years in one post. So since the cabinet members are Trump's first (hopefully only) cabinet, we can safely assume that the Trump/Pence ticket…

I saw the joke as being that (of course) Trump resigned or was impeached before the virus hit, leaving Pence in charge, and that 45's conspicuous absence had nothing to do with the virus.

But it is! Rick kind of sucks. He's also a horrible leader, and Michonne should know, because she's been around for quite a while. Under Rick's great leadership, he's gotten nearly every one of the hundreds of people in the prison, Woodbury and Alexandria killed except for about a dozen people. What about Rick's…

So Trump watches SNL every week, and the SNL writers spend a lot of time reading the AV Club, but it doesn't seem like Trump spends a lot of time on the AV Club.

The sad thing is that present-day Detroit is actually a more depressing dystopia than Verhoeven dared to imagine. My wife's childhood home, elementary school and middle school are all boarded up and being reclaimed by nature. It looks like a nuclear bomb hit the downtown area. Half the houses are decrepit on most…

The short answer is that you can replicate a lot of these things in post, but you'll never quite get to the same level of artistry as you would if the DP were shooting the film with the intention of releasing in b&w. It's not really a matter of information being lost, so much as that a DP shooting a film for color…

Idris Elba as Wolverine???

Well, the economy has just been horrible outside of the big cities and their wealthy suburbs for two generations. It's true that only about a quarter of eligible voters fell for the Trump con, but things are still really bad for a huge number of the people who didn't bother to vote.

Yes yes yes all of these shows were developed pre-Trump — but Trump was elected because for about half the country, things have been getting worse and worse for decades. It's not surprising that there would be a market for entertainment that retreats into the 20th century, particularly the post-war era before…

Well I'm actually relieved to hear that. Because otherwise we'd need to have a tedious discussion about whether the events of X-Men 1 could have occurred in the Logan timeline, seeing as how the X1 timeline originally led to the apocalyptic Days of Future Past version of 2023, which was erased due to time travel.

I think there is at least one person on each side of the stage whose sole job is to make sure that the right envelope goes out. Someone got complacent and didn't check the last award just because nothing had gone wrong for 89 years.

Hasn't it been confirmed that the song is actually about David Geffen?

I don't it *should* have been nominated, but then I felt the same way about Spotlight , The Artist and The King's Speech. I think it would have been nominated with a five-picture slate — the competition was pretty weak that year.

I don't see how expanding the slate increases the odds that one of the dark horse nominees would win. By expanding the slate to nine films, so that now Mad Max Fury Road can theoretically win, they're conceding that Mad Max wouldn't have been good enough to make the shortlist back when they only nominated five movies.
