Kevin Williamson basically said that's what he wanted to do in interviews before the show started… unfortunately he's incredibly bad at it. The whole "taut thriller" thing really doesn't seem to be his strong suit.

Plus there's only ten episodes of this so it's not really an "either/or" issue. On the other hand, she decides to do a tv show, and this is the shit she signs up for, so she must be at least a little bit desperate.

Honestly, I find the notion that anyone on the school board would care unlikely, and certainly not enough to transfer Rory out of his classes, unless there was real proof that he was giving her preferential treatment. I've heard of this kind of thing happening several times in real life without much fanfare or scandal…

Is this a super weird thing? It seems pretty common to me at private schools. For instance, my dad works at a private school and has been in a serious relationship with one of his student's mother for over two years now (he's moving in with her soon). I never really thought it was that weird and it wasn't any kind of…

Was BSG ever really "the best thing anywhere on television"? I guess you could make a case for the first season, but not really anything beyond that. It was a very well acted and produced show, and had a lot of interesting storylines, but there were so many problems with the writing (most character development was…

Really, a B-? Can we just get rid of grades already? The reviews would make a lot more sense when extremely negative reviews aren't paired with a "B" grade. The grading system sounds good in concept but really doesn't apply well to this kind of thing, and they are starting to look more arbitrary and disconnected to…

@avclub-aa854f5836947cdf62324ba7d74e1c43:disqus Wait what? How could you possibly not realize how shitty it is the first time through?

Like many lines in the movie, it's all about the delivery…. that line was pretty hilarious in Rebel as well though.

Really? I always thought the show just seemed pretty dull and unremarkable, like an even blander House of Cards. I doubt I'll ever watch to find out admittedly.

I think that actually makes it even weirder @avclub-997c221538094d134659141cf61d51e3:disqus

I'm guessing because they're all gingers?

You may want to refer to Bronson for that one @Dikachu:disqus

Really? That would be an excellent question (much better than this one actually, which is really well worn territory on this site). Maybe it's still in their backlog of questions.

Damn it, I haven't seen that movie! Clearly my Wilkinson ogling skills need work. Actually I've never seen a single Guy Ritchie movie, oddly.

Interesting, he made absolutely no impression on me in Inception (in a pretty underwritten role admittedly) and I was surprised he was supposed to be a big deal until I saw Warrior and Bronson. I've seen it since then and he still does very little for me in it (and the "gay guy turns himself into a woman" aspect of…

This site does seem to be pandering directly to Scrawler at this point… I guess to balance out all the Alison Brie/Lizzy Caplan ogling that goes on here. Does this mean I can get updates on Tom Wilkinson and Harvey Keitel like every Thursday or something?

And Tommy Wiseau didn't even actually direct that video! I have the feeling that "A Talking Pony!?!" may be able to recapture the magic of the original though.

@avclub-04d524031f29c89d78cae864bd6f0de7:disqus When you hear about it, that sort of thing makes JMS sound extremely flaky and disorganized, but it sounds like by the time of the third season or so he was pretty much making all the major creative decisions on his own on a very limited budget, which must be an absurdly…

Birdemic's dialogue really isn't very funny out of context though, it's just pieces of bland everyday conversation and the dialogue is actually pretty sparse, so much of that movie contains loooooooong stretches of silence. The Room far outpaces any other bad movie that I've seen in terms of memorable dialogue, which…
