Allen had five movies on that list, all from before 1980 - Take the Money and RunBananasSleeperAnnie Hall, and Manhattan.

Mark Chiarello was the editor of Wednesday Comics, Batman: Black and White, and Solo, so it seems like he was the driving force behind that stuff. Lately he's been focusing on Before Watchmen and some stuff like that.

Also, here's a wonderful picture of her and Garry Marshall.

And also whoever played his son Butters!

Yeah, me too. And yet, in all of the recent pictures on IMDb, she looks pretty much exactly like an adult version of Al from Step by Step.

I was thinking the same thing. She's 31 years old - 12 years older than Ronan. The age difference between them is almost a teenager.

I genuinely love "Night After Night." It was on a mix CD that I burned in college, and I never get tired of listening to it.

Did anyone else see The Sapphires? I went to see it on Wednesday, and I thought it was just delightful. It could easily have been nothing but cliches (three sisters and their cousin form a girl group, go on tour, and find some level of success. And also they have a grumpy manager), but the fact that they were

Thanks for posting this. I've seen all of the first three shows, but the only Voyager I've seen is "Flashback," which I thought was terrible. So I was hoping to do a best-of this summer, and this will help immensely.

That might be true in 100 years. But "retard" is still recent enough ("Mental retardation" was a clinical term in the DSM-IV, which just got updated two or three years ago) that it's still a more direct insult at people with actual disabilities.

Yeah, that's true. I guess he just wasn't as omnipresent back then.

When David Brent stopped being a character he played and started being a schtick he does all the time.

Like @avclub-d4ff3c518d33328bfadc34f25b054267:disqus says, Colin Baker himself was quite good. They just gave him an unlikeable character to play, and surrounded him with dull, nonsensical stories.

I really love the premiere and the finale of S2, which are the only times Torchwood ever felt like a show starring Captain Jack from Doctor Who. The rest of the time, he was so dour and serious.

I really loved the first four episodes of CoE. But man, that last one just doesn't work for me at all. But in general, I can't stand stories where the solution is "The hero does the exact thing he swore he wouldn't do."

Look, I respect the integrity of language. I think literally means literally. But the incorrect usage of "beg the question" is the only one I've ever heard anyone use in conversation.

Which also begs the question - why aren't they dressed more like it's 1982?

I love HE a lot, but I don't really care one way or the other if it gets picked up. The 3rd season felt kind of tired, I thought. I'll watch a 4th season, of course, but if it doesn't happen, there's plenty of other ways to occupy my time.

Fun fact: This guy was college roommates with Ken Jennings of Jeopardy! fame.
