And also "ex-specially."

I hear "ex-scape" a lot more than "axe".

"Aboriginal" is certainly a word, related to but distinct from "Aborigine."

Might you be willing to provide a link or a lead to that Chevy Chase piece? I'm kind of fascinated by unresponsive interview subjects.

I'm sure it's tricky to know just when to drop it in, but the structure of RR always seems to naturally soften the subjects up with a lot of discussion of the lesser-known avenues of their careers before throwing their biggest role out there, which makes then a little more open about it.

More badass that way.

@avclub-459b420394fe3709a0a344bcf39514e5:disqus — I LOVE that! I love the fact that there was one, lone Klingon who guffawed in spite of himself. He knew all of these other guys were going to remain silent and he didn't care. That arthritis joke just tickled him, damnit, and he was going to laugh at it.

You know, the portion of that concert we saw didn't seem like the kind of thing that could fix every problem on Earth simultaneously. You had to be there!

At handjobs, at least.

I remember my brother and I laughing hysterically once we pieced together that, since Emmet's jug band failed to win first prize, that meant that the town hall full of country-livin' frogs and squirrels and gophers was just absolutely blown away by the face-melting power of the Riverbottom Nightmare Band.

The trailer reveals that Timberlake is playing a college student, which strikes me as too much of a stretch. Monsieur is in his flippin' thirties, right?

Hey, hey, @avclub-72c26dade152f790ddc1cb0559c2ba96:disqus is right about one thing: Pepsi Jr is the worst.

My twelfth-grade english teacher made us watch Tarkovsky's Solaris in class. It's like he was daring us to pay attention.

I've always been a little bit shocked by how much of a pass Half-Blood Prince (talking about the book) gets. There's no plot to speak of — essentially Harry just hangs around waiting to be acted upon by others for many hundreds of pages until he arrives at the water-zombie climax, and then Dumbledore dies. I suspect…

To me it's a walk — Prisoner has a lyricism and a casual way of fusing the mundane and the magical that not one of the other films even tries to touch, putting it in league with Willy Wonka and Time Bandits in my book. And all of the later films are so damned dour. I've literally (and I mean literally) been to several…

Yeoman's work, sir.

The reputation of the last two Pixies LPs has pretty much completely come up to the level of the earlier ones at this point, I think. It's true that they got comparatively short shrift at the time, but these days you'll find a hundred people saying "those last two albums are underrated and awesome!" for every one who…

Interesting — to me, she might be the most interesting of the underlings (i.e., all non-Coulson cast) because at least she gets a couple of different notes to play, but there's work to be done.

I'm enjoying the show, but there's no question there's room for improvement. I think when/if the show reaches its sweet spot it will play as a perfect cross between Alias and Fringe, but at the moment it's leaning a little too far into Bones/Castle territory (and I realize that I'm comparing two barely…

Those people are superheroes — they're supposed to be better-looking than normal people.
