I really do hate the idea of this movie.

The Good: Jeff Goldblum (maybe) being the star of a big franchise again. (But if they kill him off for one of these young punks to be the hero its going to be some bullshit).

This reads like a press release.

And car decals. I see a lot of (mostly) girls from a, uh, certain socioeconomic background sporting those these days.

I knew this was going to happen because there's no others dramas in the pipeline for next fall. I wonder if HBO will start having reservations about these 8-10 episode seasons. That leaves a lot more Sunday night to fill.

The Knick would be buying at every Subway in the area. And there's a lot of Subways out there.

The Leftovers renewed for a third (and final) season.

Yeah, this is exactly the type of Turtles movie that kids wanted in 1990.

It wouldn't make my all time list but I'd recommend it if you're looking for something to watch that doesn't require a lot of your attention. Jon Voight's character is a lot of sleazy fun. I thought this past season (3) was actually really good featuring the strange recurring guest star trifecta of Ian McShane,…

I thought you were just randomly pulling out names of other Wire alums but, you're right, Lance Reddick, in particular, is the perfect build for the character.

Elba's fine for this but I liked the characterization in the books of Roland being a sinewy weirdo that's out of place in the "real" world (essentially McConaughey at his Rust Cohle fighting weight).

Just pick some things he published in the 70's and 80's (and early 90s). It gets dicey after that.

I did appreciate the show's quippy dialogue that revolves around ephemera that no one in the target audience knows. Last week, it was Dr. Giggles. This week, Joe Theisman's televised injury.

And a scramble for the ball as opposed to a kickoff. Which ironically enough, was probably safer than a kickoff.

Netflix's Plan: Aggressive Mediocrity

Not really, but I think we're guaranteed at least 600 comments and x times the page views. The AV Club wins again! Buy Duracell batteries.

Bryan Singer?

An hour later, and no one chimed in with "their sister, Dot" yet? 90's kids are slipping.

An elderly woman loudly guessed the ending to Ernest Scared Stupid in my theater back in the day. Women of a certain vintage using their lifetime of experience to the fullest.

….without actually being epic.
