Out of this World, which starred the voice of Burt Reynolds as the girl's alien father who had had to go back home for reasons but communicated with her via a glowing cube. It was terrible but it managed to last four seasons.

It’s almost eerie how well The Martian mashes up with WALL-E
No.
It.

RRRARRRRRGH :kicks chair through window, sets off on mission to totally destroy AV Club servers:

His "novel in six parts" Blackwater, and novels like The Amulet and Cold Moon Over Babylon and The Elementals (perhaps one of the better haunted house tales written) are great horror stories, McDowell had a way with language…just amazing.

It's not so much laziness as symptoms of a society that is experiencing more disconnection, resulting in more people who are adrift and rootless and looking for something to fill in the gaps in their life, even if they must take part in a fake "community" in order to assume something like an identity. There are…

What they don't mention is the worst thing about the Lazarus Pit is that stuff is nasty. What wasn't shown in the trailer is that part where Sara says "Lazarus Pit juice! Gross! Urgh!" then vomits up like a gallon of the stuff.

At one point during the early Ultimate run, Millar wrote a column supposedly from the POV of someone who would criticize his use of pop culture references and basing characters' appearances on celebrities and everything else, and true to Millar fashion the strawman he fashioned was that of a dumb nerd who was "scared"…

"Stan Pines is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my…ahhhhhh I can't do it!!!!"

Boy, this contest sounds great. Yahoo! and I don't mean that Internet search engine, either!

No, it's his growth.

If it's done right, actual fake blood looks better than CGI fake blood - not saying CGI fake blood can't be done right, but I've seen too many cases where it looked like something out of some person's no-budget digital short film.

Awhile back, when this news first broke, I came across a whiny rant posted somewhere, facebook, maybe, maybe one of those other sites, the gist of which was that Jared Did Nothing Wrong and, backed up by a lot of angry nerds posting similar sentiments in the comments, that people make way too big a deal out of child…

His transformation to St. Fonzie, champion of students and that single mother he started dating was well past the "shark jumping moment".

They broke into our Dublin home
The dirty English dogs
They took away my sister
And they beat my da with logs
Limey scum, limey scum
I toss a bomb
and still they come
Everybody!

The Burger King himself is from…elsewhere.

Unfriended; a film that turned out to be pretty good, despite how the ad campaign and commercials made it look. Which was "ridiculous".

Bad Boy, whatcha gonna do when your co-star doesn't return with you?

I was reminded of something written by William Goldberg, an author and TV producer - whose credits include various novels, a two volume compilation on various unsold TV pilots and writing and producing for various TV shows. He went on about backdoor pilots, or as they had been known earlier "nested spin-offs", why…

Also of mention would be the various backdoor pilots that appeared in Diagnosis: Murder. Via an informative post by TV producer, scripter, etc. Lee Goldberg

They tended to be either straight up adaptions with the intention of bringing another fondly-remembered nostalgia icon to a new underappreciating audience…or mostly in-name-only remakes that took a hint of the original premise and not much else.
