I'm sorry, but I cannot stand film revisionism.

Comments like these suggest to me that when people criticise something as "bipartisan comedy", what they really mean is "comedy which is not sufficiently hateful towards the party I dislike".

The Half Hour News Hour was a putrid political invective thinly-veiled as an SNL Weekend Update knock-off.  It wasn't unfunny because it was right-wing; it was unfunny because the show's creators put political motives above humour.

Fringe lasted for five seasons and one hundred episodes.  Surely that's a good run?

And before that, Yes, Minister.

But, sir, that's Erik Adams-

I was so, so prepared to give it a fair shot, even though I knew it was directed by that Michael Bay-Timur Bekmambetov hybrid McG, but even with exceptionally low expectations, it was still mediocre.  In some ways, it was even worse than Rise of the Machines.

If they were able to present it in a less compelling manner, that would be the first time The Killing ever surprised me.

The BBC has been self-cutting in order to avoid being cut by the government, much in the same way that Chinese newspapers self-censor so the censorate doesn't do it for them.

It's literally the exact same programme, only somehow worse.

They did.  The end product was Hotel Transylvania.

The Dawn of the Dead remake is exceptionally mediocre: shallow characters, poor plotting and merely adequate action. It's only inventive moments are simultaneously its worst (see: CGI zombie baby).  Sadly, it is also Zack Snyder's best film. It speaks volumes that the only thing people ever praise that film for was…

Is he the dead one or the one who slept with his brother's ex-girlfriend?

Want to talk about being unhip?  I didn't even realise Jodie Foster was a lesbian.

With due respect to Saunders, “The Semplica Girl Diaries” sounds identical to that wingfic thing in fan-fiction, where canon characters are made 'angels' who are essentially treated as living ornaments and purchased for their ostentatious value.  According to a lazy Google Search, that has been around since at least…

When no less venerable a source than Wikipedia lists them in the same series, what can we mere mortals do but obey?

Add me to the list.  It's by far the worst film in the franchise (Prometheus included), but it is still entertaining in a very Whedon-esque way.  Christ, it's practically Rosemary's Baby compared to those abominable AVP prequels.
