She had some quote about how in America girls would throw their "knickers" on stage for the boys, but there was never a jock-strap for her. In the 90s an internet acquaintance of mine formed the "Carol Cleveland Jock-Strap Throwing Society", and I was proud to be a founding member. (He later saw CC in Annie and was…

@avclub-717729ce391c20ef3e722c3e6ef79a58:disqus Starting with the Thatcher era (somewhat arbitrary, but it was a big turning point), there was an ENORMOUS gulf between Labor, which was pretty hard-left and advocated nationalization of industries, nuclear disarmament, and in some cases withdrawal from NATO, and the new…

Bridesmaids is not for all tastes, and while I've enjoyed Wiig's smaller roles (Extract, Flight of the Conchords, Arrested Development) I'll admit that they're mostly rather minor. One role, however, puts her on my all time "bit part steals the movie" list, and that's her in Knocked Up. Her scenes with Alan Tudyk made…

Sounds whack. But I'm not sure in what way whack.

My favorite exchange:

@avclub-2ef7fd99b8f9f594b39218a350dfbfa7:disqus : Now that I think about it he was a lot like the Rorschach of fellow 70s sensation Jackie Earl Haley. I'm now picturing two scenarios:

Maybe they decided a Canadian accent was too subtle to get across? (seems like Americans hadn't started making fun of "ootrage" yet)

That was a great job. He had some ridiculous cheesy stuff to stay but he owned it.

Some great Marvel motion comics (Astonishing X-Men, Spider Woman: Agent of SWORD, Iron Man: Extremis) are on Hulu now and I'm really enjoying them. The animation is primative, but the voice acting is great and the individual art images are of course tremendous.  And the writing (Joss Whedon, Brian Michael Bendis,…

Maybe they confused Logan with Paul Hogan?

This film feels like a script for a direct-to-basic-cable flick got a cast & setting & effects much, much better than it deserved.

@PaulKinsey:disqus : I have no business telling other people how to date, but it seems like "never-married" is another one you might want to be flexible about. I've known some great ladies who were married & divorced by 25, and while they're not in a big hurry to say the vows again is that so bad?

And your stint on Married With Children.

I read that part of the newswire several times just to make sure that wasn't something Sean had made up. Turns out not. People, huh?
