My main problem with Into Darkness was them trying to pass off Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan but yeah, those movies are just fine for what they are. As much as I love the original Trek, it's not like they're unimpeachable works of art…

Indiana Jones and the Long Line at the Sizzler.

He'd probably get himself possessed by an evil ancient spirit and slaughter an entire small town just to get into character.

But all he has to do is give a stirring speech about income inequality and life will turn into an Aaron Sorkin screenplay where all those evil Republicans and neoliberals scurry away forever and then we'll magically get single-payer and free college and all live happily ever after! Because that's all it takes and…

It's so funny how the top two finalists for Superman in Lois & Clark are now in Christian Movie Purgatory. Does Dean Cain actually believe or is it a paycheck to him?

Joe Mantegna could win an Oscar and he'd still be Fat Tony to me.

I live in Oregon and Swass (Mix-A-Lot's first album) was absolutely huge here when I was in high school. No one I knew had any clue who Soundgarden and Nirvana were in 1989, but we all knew Sir Mix-A-Lot.

Or "Gett Off."

Minnesota means Prince, MST3K, and the Jayhawks. It's good.

Could you direct him to the natatorium, as he is attending a swim meet?

They drove a dump truck full of money up to her house! She's not made of stone!

Sorkin DESPERATELY needs someone to keep him in check. He's a bit like Joss Whedon that way. Leave them both to their own devices and you get Studio 60, The Newsroom, and whatever the hell the Buffy finale was.

I've seen them twice (first time opening for Vampire Weekend, second time headlining) and they're great. Very nice music for sitting up in the balcony away from all those damn kids on the floor.

Now I imagine Christian Bale screaming that.

"TAKING OVER THE WORLD WON'T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMNED HONEY!!!!!"

Is that everywhere, or just in northern towns they forgot to close down?

"You see, a year ago, I was close to perfecting the first magnetic desalinizaton process so revolutionary it was capable of removing the salt from over 500 million gallons of seawater a day. Do you realize what that could mean to the starving nations of the Earth?"

After I watched it last, I was singing that song to myself for days.
